The chances of things happening like this are slim, but if they did, the East would be in big trouble :

1: Grant Hill tells Orlando he will not be able to play next season, the league grants Orlando a medical exemption, which I have read would be around 6.5 million (around half of Grant's salary) ...

2: With the 15th pick in the 2003 NBA Draft, Orlando selects Kendrick Perkins of Texas.

3: Trade future pick or trash for a second round pick to take a chance on another big, like Chris Marcus.

4: Sign Gilbert Arenas with the medical exemption from the league, which compared to other teams (Orlando has not state tax) would be worth around 8 million to start.

5: Sign PJ Brown with their other exemption
