Rockets general manager Daryl Morey said that other teams have been "very aggressive" in their pursuit of Tracy McGrady.

McGrady is entering the final season of his contract, and Morey said that Houston will consider offers.

"We're getting a lot of interest on Tracy, and I do have to listen," Morey said. "It's my job to make this team as ready to win the title as possible. I think the reason we are going to have a pretty high bar on moving him is because he still provides exactly what coach (Rick Adelman) and I thought we were missing, which was a guy who can get a high-quality shot at the end of the game.

"That said, we want to position ourselves for the playoffs, it looks like it's going to be hard for Tracy to be here for a good chunk of the year, so if we can get a talented player who helps us all season, I think we have to look at it."

Morey appears focused on acquiring a draft pick, which the team currently doesn't possess.

"We'd like to acquire one," Morey said. "It looks like we might have some options, but it's very unclear at this point. Everyone is negotiating. Every negotiation comes down to the last day, the last minute.

"We do like some players high in the draft where we would think about giving up some player assets. I wouldn't forecast that as very likely. Buying a pick looks like it may have a pretty decent chance, somewhere around 50/50, maybe a little less. We're just going to be opportunistic. That's where you have to be with the draft.

"I think there are more sellers than buyers."
