Now that Tracy McGrady has been sent home by the Rockets, the team has received calls from teams that want to make a deal for the disgruntled forward who is working his way back from injury.

"Word was that the calls were to make offers the Rockets would never consider," the Houston Chronicle reports, "despite the chance to put together an impressive collection of really bad contracts."

But the Rockets may have less pressure than before to make a move to set McGrady free, now that he no longer has regular access to the media to voice his complaints.
