Stan Van Gundy - C - Magic

Appearing on an Orlando radio show, Stan Van Gundy confirmed that he will not coach next season, and he admitted it's possible he'll never return to the sidelines as a head coach.

Van Gundy has been linked to several different openings, but he's taken his name out of consideration. It is a family decision, according to Van Gundy. He'll wait for the right opportunity to present itself and will have plenty of teams drooling over him whenever he decides the time is right to re-enter the arena.

Stan Van Gundy - C - Magic

The Hawks have interviewed both Stan Van Gundy and Spurs assistant Mike Budenholzer for their head coaching position.

Although Larry Drew's contract doesn't expire until June 30, there is no indication that the Hawks plan to retain him and both sides have started pursuing other options. It would be a major shock to see Drew back in Atlanta despite the job he did with the Hawks this season because GM Danny Ferry wants to install his own regime after taking over last season. Nate McMillan is the other known candidate to have interviewed already, but the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that there are "others" who have yet to be officially interviewed. Yahoo! Sports previously reported the Hawks will pursue Van Gundy with an eye on landing Dwight Howard.

Al Harrington - F/C - Magic

The Magic will allow Al Harrington to work out for other teams in early June.

Orlando has granted the veteran permission because he's just not in their future plans. he has two y ears left on his deal for approximately $15 million, but only half of his salary each season is guaranteed. The Magic will attempt to trade him during the offseason.

Hedo Turkoglu - G/F - Magic

Hedo Turkoglu admitted that his time with the Magic is likely over.

GM Rob Hennigan said in mid-April that no decision has been made on Turkoglu's future, but he was shut down earlier in the season when healthy to allow the kids to play in Orlando, and it would be a major surprise if the two sides don't work out a buyout. "I'm happy I got to be a part of some of the great, great moments here in Orlando and no one can ever change history," Turkoglu said. He certainly sounds like a guy on his way out the door.

Tobias Harris - F - Magic

Tobias Harris is not considered a lock to start for the Magic in 2013-14.

Glen Davis is expected to return from his fractured foot as the starting power forward. The Magic may not want to stunt the growth of exciting prospect Maurice Harkless at small forward, and Arron Afflalo is entrenched at shooting guard. Regardless, Harris is going to play a major role for Orlando whether he's starting or coming off the bench. His 17.3/8.5/2.1 triple slash over the final 27 games was eye-opening.

Glen Davis - F/C - Magic

Glen Davis (foot) is expected to be healthy and ready for training camp.

Big Baby has lost an unspecified amount of weight after changing his diet in order to take pressure off of his foot, but there is a chance he is dealt in the offseason as the Magic continue their youth movement. "He has a decision to make," Davis said of GM Rob Hennigan when asked if he was in Orlando's long-term plans. "It could go both ways with a lot of things."

Nikola Vucevic - C - Magic

The Magic reportedly do not view Nikola Vucevic as "untouchable" in trade talks, but it's highly unlikely the team deals the young center.

Beat writer Brian Schmitz noted Vucevic isn't untouchable if an interested team is offering a "star" in exchange, which seems rather obvious. Regardless, we don't anticipate Orlando having any inclination to move Vucevic after an extremely promising sophomore season that saw him average 13.1 points, 11.9 rebounds, 0.8 steals and 1.0 blocks on 51.9 percent shooting over 77 games as a starter.

Hedo Turkoglu - G/F - Magic

GM Rob Hennigan said the Magic have not made a decision regarding Hedo Turkoglu's future with the team.

Turkoglu said previously that he would be surprised if the club brought him back, and so would we. Expect the parties to part in the offseason and for Turkoglu to try and restart his career with another team.

Al Harrington - F/C - Magic

GM Rob Hennigan said there has been no decision made on Al Harrington's future with the team.

It would be a total surprise if Harrington isn't dealt or bought out in the offseason as the Magic are stacked with intriguing prospects along the frontline. Expect to see the veteran wearing a different uniform next year.

Tobias Harris - F - Magic

Tobias Harris scored 19 points in Wednesday's 105-93 loss to the Heat, adding eight boards, two assists and one steal in 38 minutes.

It was an interesting season for Tobias. After a big 18-point game in his season debut with Milwaukee, he was eventually booted out of the rotation up until he was jettisoned by the Bucks in the J.J. Redick deal. Harris finished the season extremely strong, averaging 21 points, 10 boards, 1.7 blocks and 1.1 steals in 42 minutes during his previous 10 games. He has a cheap contract and the team might groom him for his third season in the NBA.

Nikola Vucevic - C - Magic

Nikola Vucevic had another productive game on Wednesday with 20 points, 13 boards and one steal in 37 minutes against the Heat.

He's taken care of business all season and it's hard to believe that he was essentially a throw-in player in the Andrew Bynum deal. Vucevic was second in the league in rebounding and he was one of the biggest pleasant surprises of the season for fantasy owners.

Jameer Nelson - G - Magic

Jameer Nelson (ankle) is not expected to play on Wednesday.

Nelson has been sidelined since the end of March and will likely wind up missing the final regular season game. Beno Udrih, who has been an excellent start since Nelson went down, will finish the season on a strong note and a critical waiver wire pickup.

Beno Udrih - G - Magic

Beno Udrih disappeared in the Magic's 102-84 loss to the Bulls on Monday, scoring five points on 2-of-7 shooting (including a three) to go with just one assist in 23 minutes.

Unless we get surprising news that Jameer Nelson will play in the finale, owners should trot Udrih out there in most cases.

Jameer Nelson - G - Magic

Jameer Nelson (ankle) will not play on Monday vs. Chicago.

Nelson has been sidelined since March 30 and it's a very real possibility his season is over with just one game remaining after Monday. Beno Udrih will continue to play heavy minutes as the starting point guard and is a must-own player.

Andrew Nicholson - F - Magic

Andrew Nicholson went scoreless in 25 minutes off Orlando's bench on Saturday, as Kyle O'Quinn displaced him as the starting PF.

The Magic deployed a bigger lineup than usual, hence O'Quinn at PF, and this merely continues a string of quiet games for Nicholson. He's had flashes of excellence in extended minutes throughout the season, but his fantasy outlook for 2013-14 is clouded by his inconsistency and the presence of a healthy Glen Davis.
