Frye is getting set to enter his ninth year in the NBA, and the Magic will be his fourth team. Frye entered the league in 2005 as a member of the New York Knicks, where he spent two seasons. He then moved on to play two seasons for the Portland Trail Blazers, and has spent his last four with the Phoenix Suns, helping lead them back into playoff contention, just narrowly missing a spot this past season.
Last season for the Suns, Frye averaged 11.1 points and 5.1 rebounds while seeing action in all 82 games.
