interesting to see what the bulls will do.

If he's showing mobility issues, then you offer him a backup role or he can gtfo

One concern regarding McGrady is whether he'd be able to accept a limited role. A source said the Bulls have even considering offering a non-guaranteed contract should they choose to pursue signing him.

McGrady was asked if he'd accept coming off the bench.

"If I was the player I was in a Knicks uniform, I would have no problem coming off the bench," he said. "But I have worked extremely hard and I'm far from that player. It's up to me in training camp to prove I'm a starter."
McGrady works out, calls Bulls his top choice - Chicago Breaking Sports

He doesn't sound very willing to come off the bench

I hear that.

We truly don't know how this is gonna pan out if he joins the team as expected.

Regardless, I wouldn't mind him.....IF he's able to keep his mouth in check.

Gotta admit, it would be interesting. I just know there is an inevitable injury coming and maybe even hostility about playing time. Doesn't seem worth the gamble in my opinion, regardless of what he costs.

If he's not willing to come off the bench, then I'd be fine w/ signing Roger Mason. Though I still want Rudy Fernandez...

T-Mac is worth the risk. Even if he did start, he'd be the 4th scoring option for this team. Quite frankly, I like a talented scorer like McGrady in a 3rd or 4th option type of role.

He is a must-sign, in my opinion.

He played like crap last year and stll averaged almost 10 a game. D rose is right when he talks about the influence T Mac can have. He has been up there where everyone wants to be. He's gonna be a tough matchup coming off of the bench for anybody's tired first unit or their second units.

KC Johnson isn't a fan of T-Mac, but I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't end up on the Bulls

Where exactly has Tracy McGrady been? He hasn't been "up" anywhere. The guy has never made it out of the first round, not even at his best. It's hard for him to be a tough match-up from the bench or crying about minutes because he can't hack it physically.

All ESPN said today was that "Tracy McGrady is expected to sign with the Chicago Bulls this week".

I didn't expect him to say yes or no to a contract today.

Where did ESPN hear that he was signing this week? On 670, someone said the Bulls were disappointed in his demo today.

So this whole thing may not happen now.
