McGrady Set To Fly With The Hawks

Found December 07, 2011 on Just Sports And Just Us: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Tracy McGrady,  Joe Johnson,  Jamal Crawford
TEAMS: Detroit Pistons,  Atlanta Hawks

Let the NBA free agent frenzy begin. Well kind of.

According to a report on ESPN, Tracy McGrady has signed a one year deal with the Atlanta Hawks. McGrady played last season with the Detroit Pistons and had a pretty good season for someone considered nearly done. He averaged 8.0 points per game in 23.4 minutes. Not bad for someone that was thrown on the NBA scrap heap.

McGrady can't officially sign with the team until Friday when free agency actually begins. But teams have been allowed to speak to agents for more than a week and could negotiate directly with players as of Monday.


More than likely he'll be backing up Joe Johnson and will be the primary scoring option off the bench since Jamal Crawford will more than likely wearing another uniform this season.

If McGrady still has something left in the tank without getting hurt, it could be a bargain for the Hawks.
