Is Hedo Turkoglu on course to re-sign with the Magic, even though he can opt out after the season?
"I would assume," GM Otis Smith said, then added, "I don't know. ... That's something Hedo has to look at."
Smith said he will speak with Lon Babby, Turkoglu's agent, before the Feb. 19 trade deadline to get a feel for what it might take to re-sign him.
Turkoglu could be seeking a deal similar to the five-year, $50-million contract that Corey Maggette signed with Golden State last summer. The Magic could trade Turkoglu if they deem his asking price is too high, rather than lose him without compensation. -- Orlando Sentinel
