If the Kings don't trade Tracy McGrady to New York, there could be an intriguing showdown with McGrady’s agent, Arn Tellem.“If they don’t trade Tracy,” one source involved in the talks said Thursday morning, “there’s going to be some fireworks.”
Tellem is one of the NBA's most influential agents and represents Tyreke Evans.
The Kings were willing to do a deal with the Knicks as trade partners to move McGrady Wednesday night, but league sources have suggested they’ve been less enthusiastic about it on Thursday morning.
If the trade expands to three teams, one official involved in the talks predicted as many as 15 players could be moved.

Tellem represents TMac and Tyreke Evans... maybe he was ticked just because they wouldn't play well together...
However, he's also Joe Johnson's agent. Without TMac going to the Knicks it was very unlikely that Joe could get to NYC.
Things that make you go hmmmmmm...

Nate Robinson has been on a ridonkulous scoring tear lately (remember when he couldn't hit Jerome James with a Big Mac in early January?)
