    Report: Tracy McGrady interested in becoming a Piston

    The Pistons say they're not interested in trading for Tracy McGrady. But McGrady told ESPN he would be interested in joining the Pistons.

    ESPN's Stephen A. Smith reported on ESPN late Tuesday night that he spoke with McGrady and that McGrady wouldn't mind a trade to Detroit.

    Said Smith: "It's certainly not a done deal by any stretch of the imagination. It's not as if Houston and Detroit has even talked yet. But is Detroit interested? Definitely.

    "Is Tracy McGrady interested? Yes he is. I spoke to Tracy McGrady earlier. His basic thing is he's very happy in Houston but he wants to win. So whatever is a winning situation for him is something he is more than willing to entertain."

    Smith said McGrady "has all the faith in the world" in Pistons president of basketball operations Joe Dumars, but "if nothing happens he's not going to sneeze at remaining in Houston with Yao Ming either."

    A team source told the Free Press this week that the Pistons are not “remotely” close to a deal for Houston Rockets superstar Tracy McGrady.

    Metronews.ca, which is based in Toronto, said in an Internet report — but cited no sources — that the Pistons are "making a big push for McGrady."

    The Pistons source downplayed the report, saying the Rockets are just one of many teams to whom the club has spoken about potential trades.

    McGrady, a 6-foot-8 forward with 11 seasons under his belt, spent his first three seasons in Toronto. He averaged 21.6 points, 5.1 rebounds and 5.9 assists last season for Houston.

    That sucks if its true! Once he is gone all the TMac haters like Antisonic, Badgerfan, Rofflesaurus etc will finally realize what we brought to the Rockets team. Lets see anyone else who can carry us to 50+ wins without Yao playing significant number of games.

    I think we should do a donation bet thread.

    Those saying Tmac will stay vs those who think he will be traded before the season starts. Losers should all donate 10 bucks to the tipjar.

    Typical ESPN reporting. Here is how the conversation would have gone.

    Steven A: How would you feel about playing or the Piston's Tracy?

    T-Mac: "There is nothing wrong with Setroit. I just want to win at the moment, but I'm happy in Houston."

    Loud, argumentative, and excitable people get ratings. Most people won't listen to a monotonous knowledgeable analyst. Also, he is in the know...many athletes feel comfortable around him.
