    Do people still buy things endorsed by McGrady?

    This is certainly uncalled for. What is said or done in the BBS stays in the BBS. Your exact words.

    BTW I am really eager to see Tracy and Kobe play. They had the same procedure in Germany and people seem like it really makes miracles. I want to see them especially Tracy, and see what progress he's done.

    When did he have it?

    What kind of surgery is it called?

    Doubt it works but if it does, Roy should definitely see this doctor.

    Something good always happens when McGrady stops playing for a team.

    Toronto: after McGrady leaves, the Raptors win a playoff series
    Orlando: after McGrady leaves, the Magic get Dwight Howard in the draft
    Houston: after McGrady stops playing, the Rockets win a playoff series
    New York: after McGrady leaves, they land Melo and Amare
    Detroit: (let's see what Santa brings to them)

    Bulls: awaiting a choke city like year which makes the Michael Jordan statue throw up

    Yeah. But on the Bulls he'll have a player better than himself (inevitably).
    Of course there is no guarantee he'll be signed there anyway.

    I hope Stephen A is right on this one. If T-Mac is not in a Rockets uniform the Bulls would be the next best thing for him (a chance to play for a championship). Not to mention great for me given I recently moved to Chicago and it'll be easy fun to watch him play live once again.

    Chicago has passionate sports fans, if he ticks them off he will get booed.

    Im around the Chicago area at the moment, most want to sign him as he will most likely come for the minimum which is good for them.

    Some fans want OJ Mayo/JR Smith.

    I think he's a good fit IF he can hit the three point shot because that's what they need from the SG spot, and he handles the ball well and can be their second ball handler after Rose.

    Good fit because he knows Thibbs and his offense he is running there.

    How exactly will they attain Mayo? What can they offer the Grizzlies?

    Smith is stuck in China and won't be able to return to the US.

    I think they should sign T-Mac but still go after a starting SG. Someone like J-Rich or Aaron Afflalo.

    If I'm Chicago, my wish list includes, Afflalo, J-Rich or Jamal Crawford.

    Then you go out and get T-Mac to back up Deng.

    I dont see Afflalo leaving.

    I heard JR Smith might be on his way out of China, which is a bad thing because I dont think Bulls want any knuckle heads.

    I heard they might go with the McGrady/Reggie Williams combo

    Jason Richardson and Jamal Crawford are also FA.

    I'd look to see one of them sign with the Bulls.

    I can see them bringing back Crawford to Chicago.

    We shall see on the 9th of December, I'm pumped for the free agency although its not really star studded, it will only be like 1.5 weeks to sign free agents, going to be crazy.

    Depends on the terms of the contract. Could "endorse" comprehend a situation where a shoe is worn by McGrady or is co-endorsed by him and a bunch of other Adidas athletes? Possibly. Furthermore, as long as he is associated with Adidas, he should have opportunities to participate in their events and be compensated for it. He has enough brand equity to be an asset to them even in the coming years. If you have a copy of his contract then correct me if I am wrong.

    He also has other sources of income at the moment. He has not displayed any behavior that lends itself to a presumption that he will be as broke as Steve Francis in a decade or so.
