Bulls passing on Tracy McGrady?

Tracy McGrady left the Berto Center on Monday without a contract offer after working out for roughly an hour and then meeting with Bulls management after lunch. This time, it wasn’t McGrady’s choice. According to two people who witnessed the workout, McGrady shot the ball well but didn’t move with much fluidity or exhibit superior conditioning. Andy Greer, who served as an assistant with the Rockets along with coach Tom Thibodeau when McGrady played there, led the workout. Those two coaches’ familiarity with McGrady, as well as Rose’s public lobbying for him that stems, in part, from their shared agency, represent McGrady’s best chance at landing a Bulls offer. Yet no definitive decision has been made, and one league source who spoke with Bulls management said he wouldn’t be surprised if the Bulls passed. Another source said management has considered a non-guaranteed deal near the veteran’s minimum of $1.35 million if an offer is made, but that an offer is unlikely. — Chicago Tribune
