Detroit Pistons making 'big pitch' for Tracy McGrady
Posted by Dave Dial July 10, 2008 20:16PM

The Metro News, a Canadian news outlet, is reporting that the Detroit Pistons are trying to trade for Tracy McGrady.

July 10, Metro News: And, speaking of major trade possibilities, there's a blockbuster brewing in the NBA, too.

The Detroit Pistons, we hear, are making a big pitch to the Houston Rockets for perennial all-star Tracy McGrady.

That would be pretty big. My first thought is this would revolve around Rasheed Wallace and his expiring deal. Btut it would seem that Tayshaun or Rip would have to be involved from a redundancy standpoint...

Perennially hurt.

Perennially one and done.

Perennially over rated.

Dumars said he would make some major changes. Rasheed Wallace was the one speculated to go. So getting TMac for him is quite good - Detroit will probably have to give up another good player.

I'll be happy to see TMac goto Detroit, nothing like ruining a good team.

it would probably be a 2 for 1 deal.

sheed/rip/prince/billups - any 2 of those would work.

I think Sheed would take a lot of pressure off Yao defensively. That might be a talent downgrade but that would make a lot of sense for them. And Prince obviously can fit anywhere with his complementary talents. I can't see how Detroit can justify giving up any 2 of those guys for TMac though- to me they'd be better off sticking with what they have.

After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.
