MAGIC PUT SALE OF MINORITY SHARE IN TEAM ON HOLD FOR NOW

          The Magic "have slowed down the process of trying to
     sell a minority share of the team to someone who will help
     them build a new arena" due to the "uncertainty over the
     value of the franchise," according to Tim Povtak of the
     ORLANDO SENTINEL.  One reason for the delay is that the NBA
     "is studying potential new revenue sources from the Internet
     and E-commerce."  Magic execs also believe that the team
     "will be in a new building within five years" and that the
     "franchise will take a sudden jump in popularity if they are
     successful in signing some high-profile free agents."  RDV
     Sports CEO Bob Vander Weide: "It's not an advantageous time
     to sell a piece [of the franchise].  That's why we're in a
     stall right now" (ORLANDO SENTINEL, 3/12).
