Tracy McGrady to join bulls?

Should the NBA crisis end (which is anytime but soon), swingman Tracy McGrady will sign with the Chicago Bulls.


Tmac has familiarity with the current Bulls' coach Tom Thibodeau being that he part of the coaching staff in his Houston Rocket days.

Will this move finally be able to push the Bulls to the Finals or maybe even win a championship?

What the bulls need:

• Someone who can take some scoring load off D.Rose.

Let's see Mac's average in Detroit where he suited up for a year:

• 8.0 points
• 3.5 rebounds
• 3.5 assists
• 23 minutes
• played 72 games

For a former scoring champ, this definitely ain't all-star numbers. However, Mac doesn't have to be a go to guy, just someone who can help DRose. If Mac can hit those jumpers more consistently than Korver's dismal play-off shooting,  he can be a good help. What's good about Mac's numbers was that he was able to play 72 games last year.

• Someone who can play defense

Tom Thibodeau is a defensive minded coach. We saw Tmac had his share of steals and blocked shots. Let's see if he can still do it in Chicago. However, coach and mac has familiarity with each other as they already worked with each other back in Houston.

Admittedly, I'm a Tmac fan, however, I don't see him being anywhere near his old form. I don't see him a game changer in Chicago, maybe at best, he would be like Antonion Mcdyess with the Spurs, an elderly statesman who's just there.
