“Without me, without Boozer, they’re a .500 ball club,” McGrady said. “And with the guys that they added, if they add me, I think we’ll be 30 points better. I think we’ll be a better defensive team with Thibodeau, who I played with for three years [in Houston]. So [the Bulls] have a really good chance of being good. The city should be excited about this team.”
When pressed about his ability to fit in with the deep Bulls and the corresponding media skepticism about Chicago’s need to sign him, McGrady added: “You can’t worry about that. ... Thibodeau was with me for three years, so if I was a bad locker room guy I don’t think he would have had any interest in bringing me here.”
McGrady has made no secret of his longing for Chicago through several recent messages via his Twitter feed, including pronouncements Saturday that he has “unfinished business” with the Bulls and that it “could be fate this time round” with Chicago after drawing serious interest from the Bulls in the 1997 draft and again during free agency in 2000.
Well if the shoe fits....
No interest so it seems.
