Hedo Turkoglu will remain on the Orlando Magic's official roster for now, but both sides have agreed his tenure with the organization is over.

Turkoglu will not be with the Magic into training camp as his representatives and the front office negotiate a buyout.

“Our organization has a great deal of respect for Hedo and the contributions he’s made to the team over the years,” Rob Hennigan said. “We’ve made an organizational decision to move in a different direction. During the pendency of our buyout negotiations, we’ve mutually agreed to have Hedo remain with his family while we work toward an agreement.”

Turkoglu will turn 35 years old in March, and he doesn’t fit into the Magic’s long-term plans. Franchise officials would rather allocate playing time on the wing to younger players such as Maurice Harkless and Tobias Harris.

The Magic want to reach a buyout of under $6 million but also would like to keep trade options open.

Evan Turner said on media day that he was prepared for a trade from the Philadelphia 76ers if that was the direction the organization wanted to go.

"[I] was ready, just hoping it was warm," Turner said, smiling.

Turner had his best NBA season last year, but the 76ers have undergone a major rebuild from the 2012-13 campaign.

Turner was the second overall pick in the 2010 NBA draft.

Omer Asik did not comment about his reported trade request this offseason, after the Houston Rockets acquired Dwight Howard in free agency.

"I'm a basketball player," Asik said on Friday. "I'll do what the coaches ask me."

Asik had a career season with the Rockets last season, averaging 10.1 points and 11.7 rebounds per game.

The Dallas Mavericks pursued J.J. Barea at the beginning of the summer, and Barea has remained open to a return to the team with which he won the 2011 NBA championship.

"It's a great relationship with Mark Cuban. If they want to bring me back to Dallas, I am very [good] with it," Barea said. "But I'm happy in Minnesota. They're the ones that wanted me there, the ones that signed me for four years, so until they decide to trade me, I'm going to give them all my effort in the games."

Barea is confident that the Timberwolves can have a resurgent season as long as the core stays healthy.

"We have a great team," Barea said, citing Ricky Rubio and Kevin Love. "We also have Kevin Martin and new guys. Our problem is that we haven't been able to maintain ourselves healthy. If we stay healthy, we see ourselves in the playoffs."
