Shout out to the NBA's 2003 and 2004 scoring champion for finding a place to play next year. Tracy McGrady will be taking his talents to Detroit, Michigan next year for the veterans minimum. In the beginning of free agency, the 31 year old voiced his criteria for a team he wanted to sign with. He wanted a team that is contending for a championship, and to be able to be competing for a starting role.
"I'm willing to play any role that is offered."
McGrady told the Pistons.
A far drop from his original list of demands. All and all its good to see McGrady get a chance. He deserves one. He can still shoot the ball better then most of these young guys now-a-days. Wont cause a problem in the locker room or off the court.
I just question the pistons taking him when they are loaded at the swing position. With Rip Hamilton and Tayshaun Prince starting, and Ben Gordan and Charlie Villanueva, Austin Daye and even Rodney Stuckey coming off the bench, I find it hard to see T-Mac getting any run.
I look at teams like the Lakers, the Orlando, and Milwaukee who would have been great fits for McGrady's limited skill set.
