Some are criticizing Tracy McGrady for an arrogance and belief that he is bigger than the team.  But this Orlando Sentinel writer believes that the Magic?s new GM John Weisbrod may be guilty of just that.

Is Weisbrod letting his ego and not his better judgment run the team so far?

McGrady?s time in Orlando seems to be coming to a bad ending.  The superstar is speaking publicly about where he would like to end up and has downplayed the number 1 pick the Magic landed in the lottery last week by saying that there are no impact players in the Draft.  

It could be that only a miracle will keep McGrady in town and some blame could be heading Weisbrod?s way.  

Weisbrod is a very intelligent front office executive.  But just a month into the job, he challenged McGrady by saying he wanted to sign him this off-season or would pursue a trade to send T-Mac packing.  The problem with this approach is that it's highly difficult to present the current roster and have one of the league?s top five players sign on to staying.  

It?s a difficult position for both sides and one that could end up forcing McGrady out of town.  

This Magic franchise simply cannot afford to lose another superstar.  However it seems that Weisbrod wants to run the show his way and does not take kindly to competing powers or individualists who would challenge his way of doing business.  

He may view McGrady as someone who did not handle losing well, who is not a team player, and someone who stands in the way of Weisbrod putting his stamp on this team.  

Moreover, he may see McGrady as a highly valuable trade asset, one that he can dump on the open market for such a complete talent package that he will be able to re-make the roster quickly and successfully.
