Matt Barnes will be a free agent for the second consecutive summer, but that doesn't mean he'll necessarily leave the Magic.

He has said his first preference would be to re-sign with Orlando, but he has options should that not happen.

"I'm out in L.A. and I've heard that the Lakers are definitely interested. But who knows?" Barnes told the Orlando Sentinel.

"I've heard a lot of rumors about a lot of things."

Before he signed with the Magic last summer, Barnes said the Lakers, Mavericks and Spurs were interested in his services.

He added that he'd be willing to come off the bench if the Magic swing a major move to improve their title chances.

"If we get one of those free agents, I'd have no problem going to the bench," Barnes said. "Everyone wants to be a starter, sure, but the goal is to win a championship."
