Tracy McGrady is a New York Knick for the rest of this season. As for what the future holds for the seven-time All-Star beyond this season nobody knows. McGrady gave clues to reporters about his future.
“I’m going to tell you guys like this, I’m a guy, I’ve made a lot of money over my career,” McGrady said. “I can retire right now and I can be fine financially and my kids can be fine. Money is not an issue. So if these guys were to bring in a LeBron or D-Wade along with a Chris Bosh or a Stoudemire, I’d be a damn fool to not want to stay here. I’m just telling you right now I would definitely embrace the opportunity to be here. Money is not an issue.”
Tracy McGrady is the NBA’s highest paid player this season with a salary of $23 million.
“Don’t get me wrong, if I come back healthy and playing well, we’re going to do some negotiating,” McGrady added. “What I’m saying is, if LeBron comes, D-Wade comes and you pair [one of them] up with Stoudemire or Chris Bosh, I know I’m not going to get the big bucks. But, save a little for me.”
If the Knicks are able to sign two max deals this summer it won’t leave much money to spend elsewhere. Beyond the two max contracts, Danilo Gallinari, Wilson Chandler, and Toney Douglas, the rest of the roster will be filled with mostly minimum salary players.
McGrady is at the point of his career where he just wants to win a title. McGrady’s words are refreshing and true. Why not take whatever salary the Knicks can give him and ride two max guys to a championship?
The Knicks’ situation just got better if McGrady plays like his old self and wants to stay with the team beyond this season without making money an issue.
