Dorell Wright going to Golden State for 3 years, $11M. He's not that good.
McGrady seems to have the right mindset...
Above all, what he wants to do now, 14 years and a couple hundred million dollars after leaving Auburndale High School, is win an NBA championship, or at least contend for one.
"It's only right that I do that, to end my career that way," he said. "I've had to carry the load for so many years, it's only right that I go somewhere where I can win a championship."
He finished the season averaging 9.4 points in 24 games with the New York Knicks, who acquired his contract from Houston.
"I'd love to stay there, but I just don't see them being a championship team," he said. "I think everybody who knows basketball knows the teams that are up there contending for the le. I don't really want to mention names, but there's only a handful of teams."
The names he didn't want to mention are the Lakers, Celtics, Heat, Magic and perhaps the Spurs and Nuggets
...
McGrady doesn't need money, but he would like a role on a good team.
"What I've got to prove is that I can be on the basketball court and contribute the way I can to a team that really needs me to play in a role," he said. "At this stage of my career, no, I'm not going to give you 25, 30 points the way I did. But I can play point guard at 6-8 for a team; I can still give you 15 minutes to help a team win. I can be a distributor and create mismatch problems. I still can do that.

mcgrady off the bench would not be bad for the lle
Desperate times call for desperate measures. TMac...here's 4 million...c'mon down.
I would take T-Mac for the lle as a spot up shooter experiment...
sounds like he's going to the heat.
Mcgrady can't shake that playoff curse..we don't need that bad juju on the team.
Wouldn't surprise me a bit. I would if I were him.
Meh...that's overrated. He has always raised his game in the playoffs. It was more about his teams sucking.
If McGrady would take the LLE, I'd pick him up in a heartbeat. And it has everything to do with this:
Tracy has long been one of the best decision makers in the league as a facilitator from the wing position and he's a capable defender with good size. Paired with Hill for stretches, he could potentially be a great asset for the team. And if he's willing to come for the LLE, the reward is much higher than the risk.
Would love to have McGrady... With the position we're in right now, especially for the LLE, the risk is almost non-existent and the reward is possibly very high.
That said, if I'm him, I've already inked my deal for the minimum in Miami.
Yeah, I'd love to have TMac here, but he's going to Miami. I wouldn't be surprised if he got in trouble for paying the team back his salary in order to be allowed to sign.
looks like alot of teams are going to overpay for scrubs atm just to keep up with other teams
lol blazers just offer mathews of utah for 7m a season offer sheet...MLE
dunno if the going to counter offer, since they have AK47 in a contract year, could just trade this fool for talent or deron would bolt
McGrady's playoff career numbers are slightly better than his regular season career numbers. He has never been a bad player in the playoffs. Those Orlando teams he played for in his prime would have won 25 games at most without him. They sucked. Whenever I hear someone mindlessly repeat the cliche that TMac didn't play well in the playoffs, I know I'm reading the opinion of an uninformed basketball fan.
The idea that him signing for the minimum with a team that started Keith Bogans in 49 games last year is even in question is ludicrous. He should go to Miami. They'll appreciate him. The Spurs are too busy focusing on their "spread 4" philosophy to bother with a real basketball player, even if he is past his prime and recovering from an injury.
I always thought T-Mac was the best player out of the "next Jordan" group early in the decade.... Still think he would have been if not for so many bad injuries. Of course he wouldn't have had the legacy of Kobe, like Mr Bones just said, his teams were horrible, but T-Mac was the in truth. When he was really going in on offense, not a person in the world could stop him.
I would think the only advantages SA would possess over Miami
LLE vs. minimum salary (probably means little)
A better role
Spurs could offer TMac a spot in the rotation but also have enough players to cover so he doesn't have to play back to backs, etc.
Miami wouldn't need him for heavy minutes but he'd probably have to play more often.
Him not winning a playoff series and being past his prime is enough, not to mention injury prone, is enough for me to not want him here...we have some young talent we need to give minutes to...do.not.want.
Rather give Anderson, Hairston and Gee an opportunity instead of McGrady. TBH
I have a vague feeling Rasual Butler will end up here. He's nothing special, but he can defend and hit the open 3, and I think he'll fit our system because he's unselfish - he's a prototypical Spurs veteran FA signing.
Perfect! I've been advocating for him for a while now. I think he'd be a great asset. 6'8, can shoot the 3, long, can defend pretty well. Plus hes not a horrible ball handler. I remember watching a Hornets game where both Chris Paul and Speedy Claxton went down and Rasual Butler ended up operating as the primary ball handler for the team.
Sign him up!
I've had the same feeling, that's if they do sign someone.
The LLE just doesn't go as far as it used to.
Not signing someone would be pretty unwise. Depending on a rookie and some young prospects that might not even make the team is not the road a team looking to take one last shot at the finals should be taking. I agree with others that say Butler looks like the logical choice.
