I created this thread to talk about possible NBA trades this summer. I begin with a possible trade involving my New York Knicks.

Tracy McGrady, SG, Magic

Magic GM John Weisbrod knows T-Mac can opt out of his contract after next season and likely will do so if Weisbrod can't seriously upgrade the team this summer. Without cap space, tradeable assets or a crystal ball to divine Grant Hill's health, it's becoming clearer by the day that the Magic may have no choice but to trade T-Mac now, while they can still get value back in return. McGrady says he doesn't want to leave Orlando, but right now winning is more important. If Weisbrod can't make some miracles happen this summer, look for the Magic to shift gears and attempt to get two or three young prospects (preferably a center and a point guard) in return for McGrady.Odds of trading T-Mac: 3-to-1
The Knicks could trade Houston, Sweetny, and Williams for T-Mac. Sweetny and Williams are young prospects at the positions the Magic are looking for. But the Magic have to take Houston back to match the contracts, and open up the shooting guard position. Though I would hate to trade Sweetny, but if you can get T-Mac, if you could make this trade, you have to do it, if you are the Knicks.
