What if McGrady stayed in Orlando and played alongside Dwight Howard instead of Yao? Do you he would have gotten out of the first round? or is McGrady destinedto never pass the first round?

They got Dwight cause they traded T Mac and sucked for a while. T Mac= No Dwight
no
but to think of the lineup with TMAC
PG-Nelson
SG-McGrady
SF-Turkoglu
PF-Lewis
C-Howard
thats 4 players 6'10 or taller!
No chance it'd happen. Tracy's 6'8''.
Wrong. They wouldn't have Rashard Lewis.Originally Posted by nycknicks105
If Tmac stayed in Orlando, then he wouldn't have ever have Dwight Howard. Plain and simple.

if T-mac stayed there would be no dwight
TMAC was playing on that Magic team that went 21-61, after the season ended he demanded a trade which Orlando and eventually he ended in a Rockets uni.
The draft was in june and he got traded that summer. He thought dwight howard would have taken a while to develop and didn't want to wait, he wanted to win now. If I remember correctly he was mad that they took him over okafor
We have some winners!
I think we should bring him back and find out.
Shard for T-Mac and some cherries on top to make it happen.
The 2004 draft was held on June 24.McGrady was traded on June 30.To wonder if McGrady would have stayed means that he would have not requested a trade after the '04 season or opted out of his contract after the '05 season.The Magic's salaries going into the '03-04 season (a year before they drafted Dwight):Orlando Magic Total: $50,209,704 Grant Hill ................. $13,279,750 (contract expired after '06-07) Tracy McGrady .............. $13,279,750 (contract opt out after '04-05) Juwan Howard ............... $4,917,000 (contract expires after '07-08) Drew Gooden ................ $3,004,560 (contract expired after '05-06) -- traded away along with Hunter and Varejao (imagine that!) for Battie Pat Garrity ................ $2,643,750 (contract expires after '07-08) Andrew DeClercq ............ $2,500,000 (contract expired after '04-05) Gordan Giricek ............. $1,540,000 (contract expired after '04-05) Tyronn Lue ................. $1,500,000 (contract expired after '03-04) Steven Hunter .............. $1,431,600 (contract expired after '04-05) -- see Gooden Reece Gaines ............... $1,353,120 (contract expired after '05-06) Rod Strickland ............. $887,317 [minimum, counts $571,100] Shammond Williams .......... $751,179 [minimum, counts $688,679] Robert Archibald ........... $563,679 [minimum] Keith Bogans ............... $366,931 [minimum] Zaza Pachulia .............. $366,931 [minimum]Had they not traded away McGrady the Magic's known salaries entering the '04-05 season would have been:Orlando Magic Total: $54,846,172 Grant Hill ................. $14,487,000 Tracy McGrady .............. $14,487,000 Juwan Howard ............... $5,408,700 Tony Battie ................ $4,800,000 Dwight Howard .............. $4,179,720 Pat Garrity ................ $2,937,500 Andrew DeClercq ............ $2,500,000 DeShawn Stevenson .......... $2,500,000 Jameer Nelson .............. $1,106,160 Stacey Augmon .............. $1,100,000 Michael Bradley ............ $720,046 [minimum] Brandon Hunter ............. $620,046 [minimum] Mario Kasun ................ $385,277 [minimum]
