Tracy McGrady has been signed by the Detroit Pistons to a one year minimum contract, a source close to the situation tells DraftExpress.

I hope Detroit doesn't play McGrady ahead of Austin Daye. That youngster needs minutes.

I can't see any minutes in Detroit for McGrady. Not that are in the Pistons best interest.

The backcourt is already overflowing with the presence of Will Bynum (should be a three man rotation of Stuckey, Rip and Gordon). The wings have Tayshaun, Daye and Jerebko + an interesting third stringer in DaJuan Summers.

There aren't any minutes available and any minutes Tracy gets he'll likely be taking away from Detroit's younger players.

lol, Obviously. This is Tracy McGrady we're talking about - this guy still hasn't carried a team out of the first round of the playoffs, in fact the only year that his team ever left the first round was in 2009 while he was on the bench with an injury.

To make matters worse, Yao Ming suffered an injury in the Lakers' series that side-lined him for the entire 2009-10 season and Ron Artest was traded to the Lakers at the beginning of that very same season.

Let's just say that T-Mac's Rockets weren't the team that I remember watching as a child; as a fellow Nigerian Hakeem was one of my favorite players so it is sad to see the Rockets struggle season after season. Personally, I think Yao Ming is vastly overrated.  ::)

Unless they are looking to move Prince for an asset

I think he will play, and the pistons will use prince/rip as tradebait.

Tray McGrady should have stayed with the Knicks.

I'm surprised by this actually.  He probably won't be saying too much in the near future since he kinda got shut up and shut off by the Bulls.

The Pistons already have a pretty crowded backcourt.  I have a feeling he signed in Detroit because no other team would take him.

No other team would take him? I'm sure that out of the Cavs, Kings, Warriors, Raptors, or Clippers one of those teams would have shown some interest in him.

Heck I can remember all of the naysayers on this blog who said that the fact that T-Mac wasn't willing to come off the bench here was because he didn't want to play for a championship-level team. If that's so then why would he leave the Knicks to go play for the Pistons, a team that is only slightly better than a lottery-team, even after running Allen Iverson out of town so they could start Rodney Stuckey at point (honestly I don't think Stuckey is among the top 15 pgs in this league).

T-Mac should've just stayed w/ the Knicks now that they have Amare Stoudamire and just waited until that team found an all-star level point-guard.

He has not signed, and is not close to signing.


He is being considered by detroit tho.
