The Orlando Magic have bolstered their roster by adding four free agents – Jarrett Culver, Myron Gardner, Jalen Slawson, and Tre Scott – amidst their push for a successful 2024-25 NBA campaign. These additions highlight the team's offseason tactics in what appears to be a strategic move for depth and development. As reported by MyNews13, all four players have agreed to Exhibit 10 contracts with the Magic, which essentially equips the team with flexibility and the players with a shot at making a mark in the league.

Looking at the new signings, Jarrett Culver seems to be the headline grabber, thanks to his previous NBA stints and notable G League average of 20.9 points per game last season. Culver has not graced the NBA courts since the 2022-23 season, though his Summer League involvement with the Magic may hint at a potential re-emergence. According to Sports Illustrated, Myron Gardner, a 23-year-old guard, carved out averages of 4.8 points and 4.3 rebounds in his 31 appearances with the Osceola Magic last season, suggesting there may be latent potential ready to be harnessed by Orlando's coaching staff.

Meanwhile, Jalen Slawson and Tre Scott also hope to inscribe their names into the team’s fabric. The former made a modest impression in the NBA last season with the Sacramento Kings, featuring in 12 games. Yet, his G League stats – averaging 13.6 points and 8.1 rebounds over 30 games – indicate a player with the feathers ready to ruffle up the competition. Scott presents as an under-the-radar pick who, notwithstanding his undrafted status, carries the experience of two NBA games and a swathe of G League play, ready to contribute to the Magic's collective cause.

With training camp on the horizon, starting October 1, these players are all vying for a coveted spot on the Magic's roster. The terms of their deals have not been publicly disclosed; however, each player knows the score; they must prove their mettle or face waiver, and Orlando can designate them as affiliate players, retaining their G League rights. "Each contract is a one-year, non-guaranteed deal," reports Sports Illustrated. With two open two-way contract spots still on the table, the competition promises to be as fierce as it is compelling.
