Thank you for being the smartest coach on the team during the Jacque Vaughn years.

Cheers to Channing. I look forward to watching him play for Cleveland. Nice guy, had his moments, spaced for the floor for our fumbling guards.

Go do great things!

I liked his interviews and when he was hitting shots the team was undeniably better. Didn't really fit here however.

I appreciate the 2nd rounder he yielded us.

I appreciate that he's a decent player, but he just never belonged here.

Thank you for the magic show episode where you played games with Tobias. "Not sausage but..."

I really do appreciate what Channing has done for this team. I expect, however, that people will still hate on him.

guess ill be the first to rain on the parade i found his lack of urgency when it came to hustle plays and defense pretty annoying but he can shoot the ball no doubt and is a better fit on the cavs. i wouldnt be surprised if he pulls a mike miller and single handedly wins the cavs an important playoff game

We made the right move in trading Frye. Sure, he underachieved here but he is a good locker room guy and probably the best veteran presence we had. See ya in the broadcasting booth one day. He's a good guy.

True professional. Gonna miss his positive outlook and his locker room personality.

I say this like I'm a player on the team :lol:

Seriously though, best wishes. I hope he gets a ring.

I appreciate that he's gone. He was never going to be a good fit here. 10mpg should be good for the cavs though.

He'll fit in Cleveland much better and wish him the best except when he plays us. I'm glad we were able to dump his contract though.

I appreciate all the Chick-Fil-a spicy sandwiches he won me when his 3's were actually going in. Cheers!

The Magic did give Channing Frye the best offer 18 months ago.

He had some good moments but overall, it did not work out.

I am glad The Magic were able to get him on a contender and net a second round pick while getting his salary off the cap.

I wish Channing nothing but the best in Cleveland.
