During his respite from the Rockets due to a knee injury, Tracy McGrady has been enjoying the comedy stylings of NBA writers and bloggers.
Every time McGrady reads his name involved in trade rumors, he cannot help but chuckle.
"I sit back, and I laugh because it's real funny to me," McGrady said.
General Manager Daryl Morey hasn't fielded any phone calls about McGrady and certainly hasn't made any.
McGrady squelched any thoughts he is starting them.
"There was a rumor that I said I was unhappy here and I wanted to go to Chicago, and I never said anything about Chicago, or anything about being traded," McGrady said. "This happens when teams are trying to make deals, and they throw names in there. It is what it is."
