A person familiar with the negotiations says the Orlando Magic have agreed to a deal with free agent Quentin Richardson.

The person spoke to the Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the deal hadn't been officially announced. Terms of the contract weren't immediately known.

Richardson's signing means the Magic are likely parting ways with free agent small forward Matt Barnes. They also have until Friday to decide if they want to match the $19 million, three-year offer Chicago made for restricted free agent J.J. Redick.

Richardson averaged 8.9 points and 4.9 rebounds per game starting at small forward last season for Miami.
