Tracy McGrady hopes he is not dealt by the Rockets, as he would like to re-sign with the club this summer.

"Yeah, if it all boils down to me making the decision, this (Houston) is where I'll be,'' McGrady said Wednesday night.

"I feel we can be a competitive team night in night out and compete with the best of them. ... This is a great fit for me. My family likes it in Houston, my wife and kids. And this is where I want to be."

McGrady is almost certain to take a big paycut regardless of where he signs.

"Money is not an issue for me,'' said McGrady. "If it boiled down to it, I got a great, great adidas contract. So money is not an issue. I just want to win. That's my main focus.

"At this stage of my career, it's all about winning. I don't care about a max contract or nothing like that. I want to play basketball, and I want to win. ... There's no question (about wanting to return to Houston). I don't want to put all my eggs in one basket, but definitely this is where I'd love to be.''
