The Orlando Magic and veteran forward Channing Frye have agreed on a 4-year, $32 million dollar contract, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports.
The 6-foot-11 from Arizona decided to opt out of the final year of his contract with the Phoenix Suns, which would earn him $6.8 million—to become an unrestricted free agent.

Last season, Frye averaged 11.1 points 5.1 rebounds, and 1.7 assists per game with the Suns. This acquisition by the Magic will help them spread the floor further in offense, as Frye has been always known for his 3-point-shooting. In his entire career, he’s been averaging almost 40 percent from beyond the arc.
And also, a veteran presence will surely be of great use, especially with the Magic’s a very young roster—who will need an experienced leader to learn from, as they continue to develop and mature every game.
This was a good move.
