T-Mac likely headed to the Windy City

Sorry. This isn't a great pic of the shoulder vain.

So I went golfing yesterday afternoon. While I was duffing it around from one set of trees to the next (“Here comes the putter throw!”), Tracy McGrady came close to reaching a deal with the Chicago Bulls. (ESPN Chicago)

The Bulls are prepared to sign Tracy McGrady if he proves to be sufficiently healthy in a workout Monday and can convince the team he is willing to accept a bench role, one source familiar with Chicago’s thinking said Sunday.

“Nothing is done until it’s done, but I expect the Bulls to sign McGrady later this week,” the source said.

Another unknown is what kind of contract McGrady can command from the Bulls. But McGrady has said money and years are not priorities after earning nearly $23 million last season with Houston and New York.

No Celtic fans should lose sleep over losing out on T-Mac. Unless, you know, you really have a thing for super vainy shoulders. Because though T-Mac was once a star, his signing in Chicago only guarantees one thing: The Bulls are losing in the first round of the playoffs.

    It’s a poor signing for Chicago, T-Mac is only going to succeed in a system with a Coach that can manage his ego. Tom T is better off with young kids that are eager to learn and will listen. That’s mostly what he has in Chicago now, T-Mac won’t learn his system, T-Mac still thinks he’s an all star and better than everyone else.

    Hopefully Tom will have the backbone to bench him when he refuses to play defense.

      You sure Thibodeau is better off with young kids? Because, um, ya know, he hasn’t exactly had any experience yet.
