People may not like his politics or pot-smoking, but on the court his only real issue is just the same as the two big guns you mentioned: injury-prone. Besides last season when he (of course) got injured and lost a bunch of minutes due to the arrival of Shawn Marion, the previous three years he averaged between 18-20 points, regularly being the #2 man on a Dallas team that won over 60 games a season. Personally, I think Washington got a steal on the signing. As for why a Thibs-coached team would be interested in Tmac, well it's cuz he was an assistant coach to Jeff Van Gundy in Houston so he has a good relationship and respects TMac. Thibs felt McGrady, an excellent passer, could perhaps give his bench a little punch. However, apparently the Bulls problem with him wasn't that Tracy was gimpy, but more that his delusions of starting scared them off. Also, I haven't heard of any losing teams willing to pay Shaq what he wants. Actually, I haven't heard of any losing teams even being interested in him 'cuz he'd obviously stunt the growth of their young 'uns. And I do looooove Shaq and Kwame being in the same sentence.
