ORLANDO, Fla. -- The Magic announced Friday that they are using a new Collective Bargaining Agreement amnesty provision to release guard Gilbert Arenas and forward Brandon Bass agent said a deal is being finalized that will send his client to Boston for Celtics forward Glen Davis Arenas has struggled in Orlando and the Magic took advantage to the new provision -- allows a team a one-time option to waive a players remaining contract from the salary cap and luxury tax. Bass agent Tony Dutt confirmed the trade of his client to the Celtics to The Associated Press, which swaps a pair of former LSU standouts. Since coming over from the Washington Wizards in a trade for Rashard Lewis last season, the 29-year-old Arenas hasnt been able to make an impact in Orlando. Arenas has about $62 million remaining on the final three years of his six-year, US$111 million deal. Arenas averaged career lows in minutes (21.8), points (8.0) and assists (3.2) last season with the Magic, starting just two of the 49 games he appeared in. He also was at times bothered by sore left knee and left leg that at times limited his availability. Hes had three knee surgeries during his 10 seasons in the league.

The move could be the first by Orlando to beef up the roster around centre Dwight Howard, who can opt out of his contract in July. Meanwhile, Orlandos five-time centre remains the centre of trade talk, but Magic spokesman Joel Glass declined to comment whether the team is considering filing tampering charges against two NBA teams for illegal contact with Howard. NBA.com also reported Friday that the Magic are pursing charges because at least one unnamed team spoke with Howard. It followed other reports that said Howard plans to request a trade to the Nets. In a text message to The Associated Press Friday, Howards father denied still other reports that he was now representing Howard and the Magic say they are still dealing with agent Dan Fegan. Howard, a three-time defensive player of the year, is eligible to opt out of his current contract in July 2012. He has been silent on his intentions beyond this season in a handful of recent public appearances. The Magic open training camp Friday afternoon and team officials say Howard is expected to be there. cheap jerseys wholesale jerseys ' ' '
