Report: T-Mac questions LeBron James

Tracy McGrady told the New York Daily News that LeBron James would have been better off going to the Chicago Bulls, and the reason why the Miami Heat are struggling is because James and Dwyane Wade both command the ball.

"[Chicago] was a better decision, a better place for him," McGrady told the Daily News. "You can't just go somewhere and have that type of chemistry he had in Cleveland."

The Bulls courted James and Chris Bosh before they decided to join Wade in Miami.

McGrady worked out for the Bulls before signing a free-agent contract with the Detroit Pistons. McGrady said one of the reasons the Heat are off to a disappointing 9-8 start is the chemistry of James and Wade on the court.

"When they're on the court together, they're terrible," McGrady told the paper. "Him and D-Wade don't complement each other. They're somewhat the same type of players, 'Bron and D-Wade. ... Both of those guys need the ball, and they don't shoot the ball like Ray Allen. That's why they're having trouble scoring in the halfcourt, because they can't get a rhythm, because one of them is dominating the ball. That guy might be getting off, but the other guy [isn't].

"That's why when they're on the court together, they're terrible. They're rhythm players that need the ball. I'm like that. I can't stand out there and catch and shoot. I've never been a guy that sits out there waiting for the ball to come to me."

It must be bad when T-Mac is calling you out.

In hindsight, I'm kinda glad the Bulls didn't get Lebrawn. Getting Lebrawn would've also guaranteed getting Bosh, and I'm SO glad we didn't get Bosh.

We should be more glad the Bulls didn't sign McGrady

In hindsight, I'm kinda glad the Bulls didn't get Lebrawn. Getting Lebrawn would've also guaranteed getting Bosh, and I'm SO glad we didn't get Bosh.

Really?

Yes. Carlos Boozer is a better player than Bosh.

I think Rose, LeBron, Noah and Bosh would have made a great core.

because you'd have Noah to be the "tough guy" to cover up for Bosh being soft. on Miami you don't have that. you've got Haslem who is out now and is really going to cost them and Joel Anthony. Oh, and Juwan Howard. in other words yes that core would have worked on the Bulls but on the Heat it seems like they don't have anyone willing to do the dirty work.

Are you calling Juwan Howard soft? Look at what the guy does to people who don't pay loans back to him. Eddy Curry has barely stepped foot on a court in 2 years. This can't be a coincidence.

It must be bad when T-Mac is calling you out. He could just be jealous that he didn't get an offer to sign with the Heat and is stuck in Detroit on a minimum deal.

I think with an interior player like Noah, it would be a bit different.
