Last I read was that while he was telling the Bulls he'd accept whatever spot they had for him, his statements in the media sounded like he was angling for a starter's role.
The Bulls still haven't informed Tracy McGrady that they won't sign him, but the addition of Keith Bogans appears to have completely ruled out the possibility.
McGrady understands the agreement that was struck between Chicago and Bogans on Friday essentially extinguishes any hope he had of playing for the Bulls next season, according to a source close to the process.
I never thought I'd see the day where Keith Bogans would make a roster before Tracy McGrady. Either McGrady's skills or condition has seriously diminshed (even worst than his tenure with the Knicks) or his at itude is just seriously unbearable that coaches are willing to compromise a player with his talent, its still pretty hard to grasp the realization of choosing a career benchwarmer over a certified star player whose still very young.

Yes, and I think this is he reason why mcGrady still hasn't found a home yet. His sense of en lement is costing him a job right now. Problem with him is he talks too much and rarely backs it up.
You never bring in a former star as a role player when said player still thinks he's a star.
If the player has acknowledged his diminished ability and shows willingness to accept the role, then sure, but everything I've read indicates McGrady still thinks he's starting, if not even All-Star caliber if given the chance. Considering at his best McGrady never accomplished any team success, I'm not sure what he brings at all.
Sucks for him. I'm sure some desperate team will take a flyer on him. He should go join Paul in New Orleans.
Iverson 2.0
Guys like AI, Tmac, and Shaq are living in their own world. All would be very good role players on a team but they will not exept that.
They all still think they can be a main contributor on a team. No wonder no one wants them.
I wouldn't even mind starting him as a Spur. Bring Ginobili off the bench, since we like doing that anyways and the rest of the game have him at SF in and out with RJ.
Ya his career is over. might as well just retire.
Quit Hatin'
lol bogans>mcgrady
Go back crawling to the Orlando Magic.
It would be funny watching JJ Re get crunchtime minutes while both Vince and T-Mac sit on the bench.
Time to get out.
DraftExpress
Tracy McGrady has been signed by the Detroit Pistons to a one year minimum contract, a source close to the situation tells DraftExpress.
LMAO Pistons. Yes, Joe Dumars. You want to become like Isiah Thomas or what?
My thoughts exactly.
looks like 1.4 mil damn what a free fall for t-mac
Fanhouse article by Tom ZillerPistons May Sign Tracy McGrady

Pistons GM Joe Dumars has confirmed the team is discussing signing Tracy McGrady to a one-year deal, according to Dave Pemberton of the Oakland Press. Jonathan Givony of DraftExpress had previously reported a deal was done.
If McGrady agrees to take the minimum salary, he'd be paid $1.35 million.
McGrady, who made $23.2 million last year with the Rockets and Knicks, has flirted with several teams this summer. He recently worked out with the Bulls, who instead signed Keith Bogans on Friday. McGrady, a two-time scoring champ, has struggled with a chronic back injury and was still recovering from 2009 microfracture as he struggled through last season.
He played in just six games with Houston before being permanently benched by coach Rick Adelman; at the trade deadline, Houston shipped McGrady to New York. The Knicks were after his massive expiring contract, which allowed the team to open up enough cap space this summer to sign Amar'e Stoudemire, Raymond Felton and Timofey Mozgov.
The Pistons have a handful of wings already, including veteran scorer Rip Hamilton, Ben Gordon, Tayshaun Prince, Jonas Jerebko, Austin Daye and DaJuan Summers. The team also has two point guards in Rodney Stuckey and recently re-signed Will Bynum. It's unclear how McGrady would fit with those pieces.
There would be little reason for the Pistons to sign McGrady if management didn't believe it could make a playoff push. Detroit finished 14 games out of the eighth seed last season, with injuries taking a real toll on the team.
Maybe this indicates that the Pistons are ready to move one of their other perimeter pieces for an interior presence.
It's a one year min deal dumbass that means he can be trade fodder at the deadline.
If you think T-Mac wouldn't whine about Richard Hamilton, Ben Gordon, Tayshaun Prince and Jerebko getting more minutes than him. He would destroy the team from within.
Go ahead. Maybe the Pistons go from 35 wins to the first pick in the draft. Maybe Dumars finally gets his ass canned. Maybe they move one of those huge contracts for a big.
hey richard jefferson is leaving
Dominique Wilkens on the San Antonio Spurs.
bonner for 8 mil
I like mine better. More ping-pong balls, better more comparable stats.
He needs the cash to fund all those baby mommas he has around the league.
