Could Tracy McGrady Be Traded to the New York Knicks?

The World Famous LayupDrill Rumor Mill
May 12, 2009

Some rumors that come across my inbox just don’t make any sense, but every once in a while, you could see it being a good match.

According to the NY Daily News, the Rockets' Tracy McGrady could be shipped to MSG this summer. T-Mac, who will be in the final year of his contract next season, would see his $22 million contract come off the books next year and could wind up possibly playing sidekick to a new teammate in the summer of 2010 (LeBron James, Dwyane Wade).

What would the Knicks have to give up? Nothing more than the expiring contracts of Larry Hughes and Cuttino Mobley. Not much to ask for rolling the dice on a former All-NBA player.

In other news, with the Sixers announcing yesterday that interim coach Tony DiLeo won’t be retained as head coach, Philly has shifted their focus to Eddie Jordan.

The Sixers will be competing with the Sacramento Kings for Jordan’s services and are expected to be high on Jordan’s wish list. The Kings' backup plan if Jordan bolts to Philly is Paul Westphal, who they will be interviewing after Jordan later this week.
