Orlando Magic Sign Jevon Carter To A Deal
Cyro Asseo breaks down why the Orlando Magic’s signing of Jevon Carter is a direct and calculated response to their quiet trade deadline and the departure of Tyus Jones.
After moving Jones as a salary dump to get under the luxury tax, Orlando was left with both a roster opening and a clear need for veteran guard stability. Asseo explains why Carter fits perfectly as a bench perimeter defender, how his 3-and-D profile aligns with Jamahl Mosley’s defensive identity, and why his shooting (41% from three this season) helps replace Jones’ minutes without sacrificing spacing.
The video also covers the financial side of the move—how Orlando ducked the tax, why a rest-of-season minimum deal matters, and how the Magic effectively converted a $7M contract into a cheaper, defense-first rotation piece. Finally, Asseo looks at the updated backcourt rotation with Franz Wagner sidelined and Jalen Suggs’ workload being managed.
