<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>A team source indicated today that the Pistons are not “remotely” close to a deal for Houston Rockets superstar Tracy McGrady. Metronews.ca, which is based in Toronto, said in an Internet report — but cited no sources — that the Pistons are "making a big push for McGrady."

He averaged 21.6 points, 5.1 rebounds and 5.9 assists last season for Houston.</div> Source: Detroit Free Press
