Suns Close In on Deal for Harvey of Magic

Phoenix is close to a trade for Orlando’s 6-foot-8 forward Donnell Harvey, Sun Coach Mike D’Antoni said Monday night.

“[Today] it’s supposed to be official,” D’Antoni said from his Seattle hotel room. “It looks like we’ve got him.”

Harvey will be in Seattle for a physical today, D’Antoni said. He could be in uniform for the Suns’ game against the SuperSonics tonight.

D’Antoni said he was not sure what Orlando would get in the trade. The Arizona Republic said on its Web site that Orlando would receive seldom-used forward Robert Archibald and a conditional second-round pick. Other reports said only a second-round pick would go to Orlando.
