Magicman28 297 Report post Posted February 23, 2017 Yea I know but at that time he was a huge name in free agency. That's because he was the only name at the time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The fact still remains he was a big name and we got him. No one else did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not saying he wasn't good for us. It's just been a real long time since we had a superstar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

magicblue 315 Report post Posted February 23, 2017 McGrady was a rising young player that time... not a superstar. He got a max deal from us and would have from whoever signed him and became an instant superstar, which everyone sort of felt might happen. Not sure what else you want.

I can still see him popping off 3's from the bottom corner like a boss. So Lanky. That shot was so pure. Just wish he played better defense. ;-/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheNameIsOrlando 310 Report post Posted February 23, 2017 Simply because we paid a crap-load of money for him. People complain we never land big names then complain that we spent too much money on said big name. Makes sense. I don't care how much money he cost simply because he was a huge part of our success which in turn makes every dime worth it in my opinion. Edit: We did what we felt was necessary to land him. We then landed the biggest name in free agency. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
