Tracy McGrady on Going to Detroit: 'My Game Will Do the Talking'

Filed under: Knicks, Pistons, NBA Free Agents

Tracy McGrady understands the perception - that there is little or nothing left in his game. He just doesn't buy it.



McGrady has been laying low since he agreed to terms with the Detroit Pistons earlier this week - a one-year deal for the NBA minimum of $1.35 million - and he won't be saying much until it becomes official next week.



Yet he also believes the Pistons could be getting a bargain when he shows the rest of the league what they were missing, turning away this summer after watching him struggle through back and knee injuries, and an arduous rehabilitation, the past couple seasons.



"My game this season will do all the talking I need to do now,'' McGrady told FanHouse Friday when reached on his cell phone. "There's no need for me to say anything else at this point.''



McGrady declined to discuss specifics, but he clearly is miffed that most everyone around the league believes he is finished at age 31, that his once-dazzling skills have eroded so badly that he wasn't worth seriously considering as a free agent.



McGrady was the league's highest paid player last season at $23.5 million, looking like a shell of his former self first in Houston and then with the New York Knicks.
