The green flag drops on the race for NBA free agents Tuesday, which happens to be the 100-year anniversary of the Tour de France.

The Tour de Orlando will begin with as many as two players showing up at the Magic's doorstep on the first day free agents can visit. The Magic need help in their plan to patiently rebuild after running out of patience waiting for Grant Hill to heal, and these are youthful players "who really want to be here," said General Manager John Gabriel.

Gabriel can't say who those free agents might be; it's a state secret. Safe to say, you won't hear about Jason Kidd, Jermaine O'Neal, Elton Brand or Gilbert Arenas touring the RDV Sports-plex or playing video games at Tracy McGrady's house.

The Magic can't even afford their dry-cleaning bills.

You won't be bumping into Gary Payton, Karl Malone, Scottie Pippen or maybe even P.J. Brown -- unless you're taking in a movie at senior prices.

The Magic feel they are too old for their latest blueprint.
