Make It Naaaashty Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 Blah. Sad to see injuries prevent TMac from being great consistently. Always loved his game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sħãlïq™ Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 Confirming that tweet - he's already signed: Tracy McGrady signs contract to play in China Tracy McGrady has signed a one-year contract with Qingdao of the Chinese Basketball Association, a source told Yahoo! Sports. Tracy McGrady averaged 5.3 points and 16 minutes a game last season with the Hawks. (Getty Images)McGrady, a seven-time All-Star, couldn't secure a guaranteed NBA contract for this season and decided against trying to make a roster in training camp. McGrady, 33, completed the deal on Tuesday and is expected to leave for China within the next seven to 10 days, sources said. McGrady's long-time partnership with former Houston Rockets center Yao Ming made McGrady a popular player in China, and he'll be afforded star status there.

ChosenOne Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 (edited) whats the deal? i know he has injury problems but he has played a majority of the 10-11 and 11-12 seasons...why are teams passing up on him.... im out of the loop on this, but was he not productive or something when he came off the bench? i mean he just turned 33 in may, i know he could still be a valuable asset to any team Nah he really wasnt very productive coming off the bench , and It has come out that he isnt the best locker room guy either when things aint going so great. Why bother with a washed up player. And im sure China is paying him more than any NBA team would.

Nitro Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 He's still a solid player in spot minutes, but the issue is he needs the ball in his hands. He isn't the sparkplug scorer/shooter that everyone thinks he can be, including the Hawks last year. He hasn't been that player since like 04-05. His primary asset is his playmaking, specifically out of the PnR. He was quite effective on the Pistons as starting PG, and I feel using him as a primary playmaker off the bench on a contender he could do some damage. But, with his history, both with injuries and his attitude make that impossible. Extremely sad to see this considering he's my all-time favorite player.
