    Go back to the summer of 2000. Tracy McGrady was the third best FA , after Hill and Duncan . Thre teams , Miami, Orlando, and Chicago were competing for him. THe Heat decided to go with Eddie Jones so Miami was out of question. But , Chicago was recruiting Tracy very hard , they offered the max 7 years 93 million. He was going to sign on the dot on July 27th but Orlando failed to get Tim Duncan and turned to Tracy McGrady. Tracy said bye bye to Chicago and signed with Orlando. And we all know what happened since then.

    Now what if Tracy had signed with Chicago. He would be the first option after Elton Brand. The team already had Ron Artest who was not developed at that time and they had just drafted Marcus Fizer, Jamal Crawford and signed Brad Miller as a FA. The Bulls would have a lineup of McGrady, Artest, Brand and Brad Miller. Tracy would lead them into the playoffs the first year and the following season they wont trade for Jalen cause they would already have a superstar two guard. The bulls would not go in the lottery for Eddy Curry and wouldnt trade for Tyson Chandler. think about it if Jamal Crawford, McGrady, Artest, Brand , and Miller had stayed together they would be the favorites to win it all.

    Thats if Tracy's agent had a fax machine and was able to get Tracy the paper's a day earlier.

    That would've been good, your team would definitely become balanced since he plays so well on both ends. Too bad he isn't too clutch. What would add even more to this is having Donyell Marshall, Elton Brand and Brad Miller. You could've had those guys and your team would be top tier in the East again. Real damn shame, but nothing we can do about it.
