The Detroit Pistons came to terms with veteran wingman Tracy McGrady today, according to team officials. McGrady signed a one year deal for the veterans minimum, which is a far cry from the 23 million he earned last year. While the Pistons add another scoring threat at a bargain price to their lineup, they now must decide on what they will do with their wing positions. For weeks, there have been rumors that both Teyshaun Prince and Richard Hamilton were on the trading block, though the team has denied it. Perhaps once the season begins, the play of all will determine who stays and who goes.
Check out some footage of the best of T-Mac through the years.
Chicago Bulls fans should be very excited about the potential moves their team is making. With the LeBron talk reaching heightened levels, Chicago is reportedly poised to move some key pieces in order to bring in two max contracts(LeBron and Wade/Bosh). The first move would send guard Kirk Hinrich along with the 17th pick in the draft to the Wizards. ESPN reported it’s not clear what the Wizards would send back in return, however one speculates expiring contracts and/or future picks would be in order.
According to the Chicago Daily Herald, The Bulls and Magic have explored the possiblity of sending Loul Deng to Orlando for Mickael Pietrus and Marcin Gortat. Deng would offer Orlando another viable offensive threat on the wing, though some feel if the Magic do make this move, Vince Carter could be on his way out.
Vince Carter’s former team is making some news as well. As we reported yesterday, the entire Nets roster is on the trading block, with exception to Brook Lopez. The Nets and Pacers have discussed the potential of trading Devin Harris to Indiana along with New Jersey’s 3rd pick overall, and the Nets would get All-Star Danny Granger in return. Personally, this deal could help both teams, as the Pacers get a solid young proven guard, and the chance to draft Derrick Favors 3rd overall. New Jersey, meanwhile, gets a proven frontline star, who may entice other free agents to come and play with him (i.e Joe Johnson, Carlos Boozer, LeBron James).
The NBA Draft is just days away, and there are more questions than answers around this years lottery than in some time. We know John Wall is headed to the Wizards, but after that, it’s anyones guess. Check out our best guesses after the jump.
The last time there was a Game 7 in the NBA Finals was 5 years ago, and that series has a few interesting parallels to the Lakers/Celtics series. The Spurs and Pistons had played six riveting games, and were as even as two teams could be heading into the deciding game. Detroit, much like the [...]
The World Famous LayupDrill Rumor Mill 8/7/09 The Boston Celtics run in this years playoffs was helped greatly by the play of Glen Davis. However, Big Baby has not received the love he thought he would get from Boston regarding a new contract. There is still hope that the Celtics will offer him a deal [...]
The World Famous LayupDrill Rumor Mill 7/12/09 The Jazz have just a few days to decide if they want to match the Portland Trailblazers front-loaded contract offer given to free agent forward Paul Millsap. If Utah matched the deal, it would cost them close to $20 million dollars in 2009-10. For far less money, the [...]
