... Danny Fortson, the free-agent power forward who played with the
Boston Celtics, has been in contact with the Magic about signing a deal.
It's still unclear how a contract could be worked out. ..... Ron
Mercer's name has been tossed around the league. He said he would like
to return to Boston and play for the Celtics, but the latest word is
that he may sign with the New Jersey Nets. With the retirement of center
Jayson Williams, Mercer could sign a $3.8 million disabled player
exception.
