Tracy McGrady, worried that NBA wants Vince Carter in a U.S. city, but
won't re-sign with Toronto this summer if his Raptors teammate doesn't
promise he'll sign a long term deal with the team. "I think the league
wants a guy like Vince Carter in the States," McGrady said Tuesday. "A
team like Chicago, a big media market. I don't know what Vince wants to
do, but when his two years are up I don't want to be wondering whether
he's going to stay or not. I have to know up front." Along with Tim Duncan
of the San Antonio Spurs and Grant Hill of the Detroit Pistons, McGrady
will be one of the most sought after free agents this summer. The Raptors,
who reached the playoffs for the first time this season and were swept
by the New York Knicks (3-0), will likely offer McGrady the maximum
$87 million over seven years. Any other team can offer him as much as $68
million over six years.
