If McGrady said he would only play in Houston, which may or may not be true, you gotta say he is a cold dude. I mean, he says I want out, and if you don't I am leaving anyway. Then, by the way, I only want to go to Houston, so you just get the best deal you can get. I don't care if you get burned or not.
Again, this is only if he narrowed it to Houston (or even just a few teams), he really leaves Orlando with few choices, not as good as leverage as they would normally get, and doesn't look back.
I'm not so sure we aren't better off. I know a lot of you don't agree, but the attitude he has shown lately has made me look at him a bit differently.
I also read where he missed a lot of practices and wasn't that popular with teammates. Maybe the Suns just didn't offer that much. Who knows??
