honestly he will most likely go to new york. they are prob the only team with contracts awful enough to match mcgrady's. and they also are interested.
NY trades away two big contracts to get an expiring McGrady which opens up cap room for them to sign two max contracts next season...Welcome to New York LeBron and Wade/Bosh...

Daryl Morey isn't retarded.
The Knicks could probably get T-Mac tomorrow for Cuttino Mobley+Al Harrington(both expirings).
Walsh wants to dump Jeffries or Curry, and Morey isn't going to take either of them.
In one of the articles it said they were willing to take on longer contracts just to get rid of him. The Knicks just see McGrady as an oppurtunity to save alot of money and sell alot of tickets for the present. There is no point for the Knicks to trade for him if they can't get the Rockets to take at least one bad contract. We will see how desperate the Rockets(or Knicks) are.

Yeah, talent with longer contracts. Not simply longer contracts for the sake of having them.
I was under the impression that they just really really want to get rid of him, and the sooner the better. They don't want the distraction. If I was NY and with Nates recent complaints, would ship Nate Rob, Mobley, and a bad contract for T Mac. The problem with that is the Rockets running a midget circus.:chuckles: They already have enough players under 6 foot. Brooks and Lowry(by the looks of it).
Why would Houston want to take back a bad contract in exchange for a huge expiring like McGrady?
A 34 year old SG and an undersized PG who can't start on a bad, run-first team.....doesn't really drive a convincing bargain for why they should take a contract like Jared Jeffries on for two years?

Larry Hughes+Eddy Curry for him was a rumor. I don't know there contract situations.
