Orlando, FL (Sports Network) - The Orlando Magic have acquired forward
Drew Gooden, guard Gordan Giricek and cash considerations from the
Memphis Grizzlies, in exchange for forward-guard Mike Miller and
forward Ryan Humphrey. The Grizzlies also got a first-round selection
owed to Orlando by Sacramento and a second-round pick in 2004.
 
The trade came in advance of Thursday's 3 p.m.(et) NBA trading deadline.

Miller, the 2000-01 NBA Rookie of the Year, was traded on his 23rd
birthday.

He was the second-leading scorer on the Magic this season averaging
16.4 points to go along with 5.8 rebounds and 2.8 assists.

During the 2000-01 campaign, Miller set franchise records for most
three-point field goals made (148) and most three-point field goals
attempted (364) in one season by a rookie.

The 23-year-old Humphrey, a rookie from Notre Dame, was averaging just
1.8 points per game for the Magic.

Gooden, in his rookie season out of Kansas, comes to Orlando after
averaging 12.1 points and 5.8 rebounds per game with Memphis. The
fourth overall selection in last year's draft, he has started 29 of the
51 games he's played in this season.

Giricek, a 25-year-old shooting guard from Croatia and also in his
rookie season, has started in 35 of the 49 games he's played in this
season. Giricek left Memphis averaging 11.2 points per contest. His 29
points in his NBA debut against Dallas on October 30 was the
fifth-highest NBA scoring debut in history.
