However, MCW spent his last two-plus seasons with the Magic, averaging 7.5 points, 3.9 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.0 steal per game in the 88 contests that he suited up for Orlando.</p><p>At 31-year-old, there’s reason to question what makes the rebuilding Magic want to sign Carter-Williams. However, a team that’s been struggling more than usual on offense, Magic president Jeff Weltman may believe that the basketball IQ and veteran savvy of a true point guard like MCW can help the Magic run their offense effectively.</p><p>If that’s the case, it’s possible that MCW will find himself playing a significant role for the Magic less than two years after seriously considering retirement.</p><p>MCW does fit the Magic in plenty of ways though. Aside from his familiarity with the franchise, there’s the simple fact that he would be the most reliable facilitator they have in their backcourt. His length at 6-foot-5 with a 6-foot-7 wingspan is also sure to appeal to Orlando, who are jumbo-sized at nearly every position.</p><p>It will be his first time with the playbook of Magic head coach Jamahl Mosley though, and that could hinder his impact as a floor general.</p><p>Nonetheless, as the Magic rank just 27th in assists per game (22.7) and 27th in turnover percent (13.5), they could still use his steady hand.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The former Rookie of the Year winner originally signed with Orlando on a couple of 10-day contracts back in March 2019, and he has been a Magic ever since. He’s clearly doing well enough for Orlando’s front office to keep him on board.</p><p>Last season, he averaged <a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/c/cartemi01.html#all_per_game">7.2 points</a>, 3.3 rebounds, 2.4 assists, and 1.1 steals in 18.5 minutes off the Magic bench. He isn’t exactly star-player material, but he gets the job done.</p><p>The details of MCW’s new deal with the Magic remains unclear at this point, but he will likely be earning the same amount of money he pocketed last year, which was the minimum ($2 million). Carter-Williams did not appear to have too many suitors in free agency, so it comes to no surprise that the Magic have been able to sign him to an extension.</p><p>This development is not exactly the headline-grabbing transaction Magic fans have been waiting for. Recently, they were <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba-rumors-rockets-magic-discussed-traded-centered-around-russell-westbrook-aaron-gordon/" rel="noopener noreferrer">linked</a> to a move for <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sports/nba/houston-rockets/">Houston Rockets</a> want-away star <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sports/nba/players/russell-westbrook/b3770983/">Russell Westbrook</a>, in a rumored trade deal involving <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sports/nba/players/aaron-gordon/ab1309fc/">Aaron Gordon</a>. While that swap never really picked up steam, it probably still isn’t dead at this point. Westbrook could still be dawning Orlando’s colors next season. Then again, we wouldn’t advise holding your breath on that one.</p><p> </p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
