The Magic have signed G/F Jeremy Richardson to a 1-year deal. The 24-year old swingman played for three teams last season (Grizzlies, Spurs and Hawks) but he didn’t stay anywhere too long. Richardson played in 27 games (1 start) last season and he averaged 4.9 minutes, 1.5 points, 0.3 rebounds and 0.1 assists per game. Richardson has the look of a 12th man if he even makes the Magic’s final roster. He has now played in 33 games (1 start) in his NBA career and he has averaged 4.6 minutes, 1.5 points, 0.3 rebounds and 0.1 assists per game.

The Magic have signed 25-year old C/F Dwayne Jones to compete for backup minutes along the frontline this season. Jones is a big guy at 6′11″, 251 pounds and he has little game outside of the paint. He played in 56 games (0 starts) for the Cavaliers last season and he averaged 8.4 minutes, 1.4 points, 2.5 rebounds and 0.2 assists per game. Jones has never really got the big time minutes to show what he can really do and he won’t again this season unless the Magic have a huge rash of injuries. Jones has now played in 74 games (0 starts) in which he has averaged 7.8 minutes, 1.3 points, 2.4 rebounds and 0.2 assists per game.

The Magic have signed 29-year old point guard Mike Wilks to a 1-year contract. Wilks played in 15 games (0 starts) last season for three teams (Nuggets, Wizards and Sonics) and he averaged 12.5 minutes, 2.7 points, 1.3 rebounds and 0.9 assists per game. Wilks has never really got an extended chance to show what he can do in the NBA and that likely won’t change in Orlando as he will be the #3 point guard. Wilks has now played in 229 games (11 starts) in his NBA career and he has averaged 9.5 minutes, 2.5 points, 1.0 rebound and 1.2 assists per game.

Pat Garrity has decided to hang up the sneakers and call it a career. Garrity played in 31 games (0 starts) for the Magic last season and he averaged 9.2 minutes, 2.1 points, 1.4 rebounds and 0.4 assists per game. Garrity played in nine seasons for the Magic and he did a decent job off of the bench for them. He played in 513 games (98 starts) for the Magic and he averaged 20.5 minutes, 7.4 points, 2.7 rebounds and 0.8 assists per game. The Magic probably won’t miss Garrity much as his role on the team was getting smaller every season.
