Not a good report if the Celtics want him to come off the bench.

I'm somewhat surprised the Bulls are so set on wanting McGrady to come off the bench.  I mean, while I don't expect him to, if he can surprise the league and actually pull a full season together without much injury trouble, thats a more than legitimate starting two guard for the Bulls.

Would they prefer Ronnie Brewer? C.J. Watson? Kyle Korver?

Personally I think Ronnie Brewer is overrated and I think Korver and Watson are more of pure bench pieces then starting pieces.

I'm not saying McGrady is going to be good this year.  But with his specific situation and with what he's accomplished in his career, he has exactly the attitude I think he should have.  "No, I'm not done.  I can still play starters minutes, I can still light it up any night I want.  I just need to prove it."

Wouldn't surprise me one bit if McGrady goes elsewhere and dominates and the Bulls look at themselves and say "uh...wups."

Don't call him T-mac anymore. He's shot as a starter, but I would sign Tracy if he was willing to come of the bench as a scorer. Even asking him to be a defender would be too much ask. His knee won't allow him to stay in front of people. T-mac as we know him died in Utah in the playoffs in 08'.

I'd again go with the notion that beggars can't be choosers.  

Are there other options that I'd prefer?  Sure.  But if they don't pan out, he's worth a roll of the dice.  

Too many people are acting like those that suggest T-Mac, Shaq, and the like are suggesting that we choose these players over significantly better other options and that we sign them to maximum deals.  

We're talking about having limited options and perhaps rolling the dice on former stars at the minimum.  If all other options dry up, I don't see how that hurts us.  We're not some young team that's going to fall apart with a little regular season drama.  If things don't work out, we cut these guys.  

What a shock. McGrady alienates a possible employer with his attitude.

Kinda disappointed. I'd like to see him sign somewhere else so we can stop talking about him.

Refresh your minds. NBA teams should boycott Tracy with how he handled his business in Houston. Even if he can contribute, dude is rotten to the core. He Quit!

POOR RICK!

All one has to do to see what a complete tool McGrady is and why he wouldn't fit into the clubhouse of any team is to read his comments regarding the Chicago situation.

"Without me, without [Carlos] Boozer, they're a .500 ball club,"

"And with the guys that they added, if they add me, I think we'll be 30 points better. I think we'll be a better defensive team with Thibodeau, who I played with for three years."

"This was a great team, a pretty good team, without adding myself and Carlos Boozer, and some of the key players that they added this offseason,"

"I think we can be really good, I really do."

The guy is dissing the team that was there before him and Boozer got there. He's claiming he and Boozer alone make them 30 PPG better. He's already including himself as part of the team.

The gall and ego on this dude is out of control.

Stay clear of the ego driven, me first always, prima donnas. They will ALWAYS hurt your team more than they help them. So no to McGrady. Say no to Iverson. Say no to Shaq unless it's a vet min so that you can throw him out on his ass if he starts acting up.
