The Magic have said publicly that they want Hudson back. But the two sides are miles apart in initial negotiations, according to Hudson's agent, Bill Neff.
Hudson is seeking a contract comparable to the ones signed in recent years by Detroit guard Chucky Atkins, an Orlando native, and Houston's Moochie Norris. Atkins signed a six-year, $22.5 million deal two summers ago. Norris' contract is for six years and $22.7 million.
Hudson has said that he would sign for less to play with the Magic, and Neff reiterated that Tuesday. Hudson would probably settle for a deal that averages about $3 million annually, but the Magic are believed to have offered less than $1 million annually in early conversations.
"I think they want him," Neff said of the Magic. "But they're trying not to spend a lot of money. It's not going to go that way."
