Outlaw's best season with the Magic came in the 1997-98 NBA season, his first with the team. His teammates on that team included friends Penny Hardaway and Darrell Armstrong and Outlaw provided his particular type of defensive spark to spur the team to success under then Hall of Fame head coach Chuck Daly. Shortly after Daly's resignation after the NBA Lockout shortened 1998-1999 season, Outlaw became an integral piece of the new "Heart & Hustle" image of the Orlando Magic under new head coach Doc Rivers. Statistically, his best NBA season was the aforementioned 1997-98 season during which he averaged 9.5 ppg and notched his first career triple-double versus the New Jersey Nets on April 17, 1998.
After 5 seasons with the Orlando Magic, Outlaw was released in November 2001 and acquired by the Phoenix Suns. After two and a half seasons with them, Outlaw left for Memphis where he was reunited with former Magic teammate Mike Miller. After spending one season in Memphis, Outlaw returned to Phoenix where he was hampered by nagging injuries and his playing time was restricted by the strength of the team.
