Retaining Gortat and adding Bass will likely take the Magic's payrollinto the $80 million range for next season, which would force Orlandoto cut a luxury-tax check of more than $10 million in July 2010 barringroster moves between now and June 30 of next year to lower that figure.
Greek team Olympiakos may be ready to make a substantial offer to Ramon Sessions or Nate Robinson.
The team signed Josh Childress last season.
The Knicks may have no problem with Robinson playing abroad for a season since they would retain his rights while not having to commit to a new contract for the restricted free-agent guard.
