    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Orlando general manager John Weisbrod believes the Magic will be a whole lot better without departed star Tracy McGrady.

    Weisbrod took some parting shots Wednesday at his former player, implying McGrady wasn't capable of leading a winning team.

    `It starts with how you define a superstar,'' Weisbrod said. ``I think a superstar is defined by wins, by making the players around him better and by making the team better. On that part, my perception is a little different than most.''

    Marking only the fourth time a defending scoring champion has ever been traded, McGrady was sent to Houston in exchange for point guard Steve Francis, shooting guard Cuttino Mobley and forward Kelvin Cato on Tuesday. Orlando also parted with power forward Juwan Howard, and guards Tyronn Lue and Reece Gaines.

    McGrady was an All-Star in each of his four years in Orlando, averaging 28.1 points, and quickly became the Magic's most popular player. But his behavior during last season's 61-loss disaster convinced Weisbrod that McGrady was part of the problem.

    In McGrady's place are players who want to win.</div>

    I think his attitude oppressed his team-mates. I wouldn't wanna be in the same time as him. I always tell them to shut up. As you keep listening to it...you begin to believe it. Maybe that's what happened to orlando. :S
