Maybe the Magic FO was really amazed and have seen potentials for the Polish Hammer. Specially that block he gave to Lebron during the ECF.

McGrady Changing His Number

Tracy McGrady will wear #1 no more . . .last year he submitted a request to the league to change his number to 3 and that change has been approved.

McGrady, who also wore the #3 in high school, will make the switch to bring attention to his "Darfur Dream Team" humanitarian project and the "3 Points" documentary that chronicles his journey to the refugee camps in Chad, Africa during the summer of 2007. McGrady says his visit to Chad was life changing and having the privilege to have freedom and peace in his life is something he will never take for granted. By wearing #3, he honors those who are forced to live without that freedom and peace. The "3 Points" documentary directed by Josh Rothstein is a reference to the goals of peace, protection and punishment with regards to the horrific atrocities suffered in the Darfur region of the Sudan. The documentary is scheduled for nationwide screenings beginning this fall.

Trevor Ariza will wear #1 for Houston next season.

76ers general manager Ed Stefanski has told the Philadelphia Inquirer that the club is looking to sign-and-trade Andre Miller.

Stefanski wouldn't comment on specific rumors. The point guard was looking for a three-year, $30 million deal from the Sixers.

Instead, the 76ers offered him a one-year contract worth $6 million.

"We're now in a sign-and-trade mode," said Stefanski of Miller, who is an unrestricted free agent.

Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, in an interview on NBA TV, said that Dallas has been in contact with the agent for Lakers free agent forward Lamar Odom, whose negotiations with Los Angeles are going slowly. But Odom is not likely to sign anywhere for the mid-level that the Mavericks now, again, have at their disposal; he's accepted that he'll face a pay cut from last year's $14 million, but doesn't want to go down that much.

PHOENIX (AP)—The Phoenix Suns have reached a contract agreement with free-agent center Channing Frye(notes).


The team scheduled a news conference Tuesday to introduce the former University of Arizona star.
Frye agreed to a two-year contract with the second year at his option. He will earn about $2 million next season.
