A league source informed the Washington Post's Michael Lee that a possible three-way deal involving the Wizards, New York and Houston "doesn't have legs right now."

Yahoo! reported on Wednesday that the Knicks, Rockets and Wizards were "in the discussion stages of a complicated" trade that would send Tracy McGrady to the Knicks, Caron Butler and Brendan Haywood to the Rockets and Al Harrington to the Wizards.

Another source confirmed the discussions, but added that nothing is imminent.

The Wizards were interested in acquiring Harrington in the summer of 2004, but President Ernie Grunfeld decided to make a deal for Antawn Jamison instead.
