The Orlando Magic are reportedly not planning on buying out any of their veterans, finishing the season with the 15 players they started with.

Now that the NBA Trade Deadline has passed, it has become “mercenary season” as playoff teams pick up players bought out of their contracts and teams out of the Playoff race get rid of dead weight contracts in order to bring up and bring in younger players or make room for players part of the team’s future.

There have already been plenty of buyouts — Kendrick Perkins, Larry Sanders — and a few more expected (Thomas Robinson) down the line.

There has been some speculation the Magic might buyout or cut a player in order to make room for a D-League call up or to give another young player a shot. Willie Green, specifically, has been mentioned in several rumors of a potential buyout as contending teams start looking for reinforcements before the Playoffs.

Orlando appears not to be playing this game. Josh Robbins of the Orlando Sentinel reports the Magic do not plan to buy any players out. It would appear this is the roster the Magic want to stick with for the rest of the season.

Green specifically spoke with Robbins about the prospect:

“Me personally, I’m committed to being here. I like being here with these young guys. I like helping them. [Magic GM] Rob Hennigan and myself, we’ve had conversations about the way I can contribute on and off the floor. So I’m in it. I’m committed.”

Things could change, but it does not appear likely. Teams have until March 1 to cut players and have them still be eligible for the Playoffs. This is the unofficial deadline then for player buyouts.

Orlando has several veterans that would fit the typical buyout mold. Ben Gordon is non-guaranteed next year despite his high $4.5 million price for this year (Magic are paying that anyway). Luke Ridnour and Willie Green also do not have guarantees for next season.

The Magic though need some veterans still if they want to finish the season strong as they professed at the press conference firing Jacque Vaughn. Green has contributed as a utility player, even filling in as the backup point guard. Ridnour played Friday’s game and had some solid contributions too.

Despite a desire to add D-League All Star Seth Curry to the roster, the Magic seem satisfied with where they are at and what they are trying to build. Many of the D-League guys are going to get their opportunity with the Magic in Summer League most likely. Orlando is clearly looking to build with what they have here.

That does not mean there will not continue to be tweaks to the rotation.
