Rockets and Tracy McGrady agree to try to part ways (Dec 28)
Tracy McGrady’s tenure with the Rockets, which began with predictions of multiple championships and "great things happening in the city of Houston," is likely over.
The Rockets and McGrady came to a "mutual agreement" Monday to seek to trade McGrady , a person with the Rockets with knowledge of talks between McGrady’s representatives and general manager Daryl Morey said.
With Rockets coach Rick Adelman still unable to predict when McGrady will get significant playing time, McGrady’s representatives asked that the Rockets trade McGrady.

Re: *Breaking NBA News- The Rockets And T-Mac Part Ways!*
he should go to Phoenix. they do a good job of keeping Nash and Hill alive and they did a good job of keeping Shaq alive too.

I think this has more to do with the surprising start they have and Tracy's history of losing than his current knee issue. I think that they feel Yao's presence and the newly emerged young core, plus some cap breathing room or the return they get for T-Mac puts them in better position than catering to a perennial loser.

If the Rockets felt like Shaq was a mistake it'd be a good move. probably not ready to give up on him like that though. Miami should consider going for him to get some more cap space. As an added bonus, he might even be a short-term improvement.

Re: *Breaking NBA News- The Rockets And T-Mac Part Ways!*
I'm gonna venture to say Miami will make a run for him.

I hadn't read the atricle thought they just bought him out. Since most poster already new he had left the team and asked for a trade.
It he gets bought out or if we could trade Big Z, Boobie and Pick or 3 Million Cash and have The ROckets buy out Big Z. could save Houston a lot of money between Salarie, Luxury Tax and the Cash.
Wont happen but would be nice

Re: *Breaking NBA News- The Rockets And T-Mac Part Ways!*
Trading T-Mac is easier said than done.
The other team is going to have to give up good talent, or draft picks.

Re: *Breaking NBA News- The Rockets And T-Mac Part Ways!*
Please T-Mac, stay away from the celtics, Lakers, orlando and Denver:rant

i don't think any of those teams have the assets to match the 22 million dollar salary without messing up what they have already.

Nuggets Kenyon has a big contract. They can start Mcgrady at 2 guard. Bring JR off the bench of explosive scoring even run Mcgrady at some 1.

i dont think you could trade money in place of a player either
you have to trade contract for contract
-
Re: *Breaking NBA News- The Rockets And T-Mac Part Ways!*
A trade is not going to work, he has a massive cap number. And add on to the fact that no one is going to give up anything of significant value for a broken McGrady..This will end with a buy-out.

Re: *Breaking NBA News- The Rockets And T-Mac Part Ways!*
ok what does buy out mean?? what does it mean when a team buys out a player?

Re: *Breaking NBA News- The Rockets And T-Mac Part Ways!*
Tmac left Orlando in 2004 to be on a contender and play with a dominant big man. :lol

you pay him money and release him. he then goes off and signs with another team. see stephon marbury last year
-
Re: *Breaking NBA News- The Rockets And T-Mac Part Ways!*
76ers
Bulls
Heat
Knicks
Nets
Timberwolves
These are the only teams that could trade for T-Mac in my opinion. Not from a need standpoint, just based on their contracts.

[QUOTE=YAWN]you pay him money and release him. he then goes off and signs with another team. see stephon marbury last year[/QUOTE]
so do we stop paying him when his contract is over this summer?

I am pretty sure you can trade up to 3 Million dollars in a trade to make it work under the cap I'll look it up.
After looking it up Cash can be used in a trade up to 3 Million but it is not used to match the salaries but the Cavs still have Wally who they could S+T and still trade that 3 million to allow the Rockets to buy him out with.

Re: *Breaking NBA News- The Rockets And T-Mac Part Ways!*
Kapono + Dalembert for T-Mac
-
Re: *Breaking NBA News- The Rockets And T-Mac Part Ways!*
Huh... Oh snap, I don't think a trade would work.. his contract is alittle too big
-
Re: *Breaking NBA News- The Rockets And T-Mac Part Ways!*
Im interested to see where he will go.

Re: Rockets and Tracy McGrady agree to try to part ways (Dec 28)
[QUOTE]The Houston Rockets have granted Tracy McGrady an indefinite leave from the team and will work with his representatives to find a new home for the seven-time All-Star via trade, according to sources close to the process.
McGrady
McGrady
Sources told ESPN.com on Monday that phone discussions between Rockets general manager Daryl Morey, coach Rick Adelman and one of McGrady's agents, Arn Tellem, led to an agreement that both sides would work together in pursuit of a palatable trade before the league's annual trading deadline on Feb. 18.
[B]The Rockets, sources said, are adamant about not buying out the remainder of McGrady's $23 million expiring contract and enabling him to become a free agent during the season.[/B] Yet, they also remain unprepared to promise the extended minutes McGrady has been seeking.
Sources said the sides agreed Monday that the best compromise is letting McGrady leave the team to work out on his own in hopes that a deal can be struck and so his teammates and coaches will be spared from the distraction of daily questions about McGrady's status.[/QUOTE]
