Tracy McGrady,
one of the top NBA players of the past decade, is considering playing
in China this season, according to sources with knowledge of the
situation.
McGrady's preference is to sign with an NBA club --
preferably one that can compete for the championship -- and a source
said he will wait to see if he is picked up by such a team before
committing to play overseas. McGrady could wait up to four weeks before
making his decision, the source said.
The Chinese publication, 361
Sport, first reported on Tuesday that McGrady's representatives are in
discussions with the club, Qingdao Doublestar, of the Chinese Basketball
Association.
The source cautioned, however, that there is no
guarantee that the 33-year-old McGrady will decide to play in China this
season, even if he does not sign with an NBA team.
The seven-time All-Star has worked out with the New York Knicks and the San Antonio Spurs and has no desire to retire from basketball, the source said.
