Orlando Magic star Tracy McGrady is a card-carrying member of the Grant Hill Fan
Club, but he is Hill's friend first and his teammate second. That's why McGrady
hopes that Hill will retire if he struggles in his next comeback from a fourth
surgery on his left ankle.
"If he [Hill] doesn't have it this year . . . I don't want to see him retire. I
want to see him come back and try to give it a shot. . . . But if it doesn't wor
k out, then that's the best thing for him to do, is to retire," McGrady said Sat
urday.
" . . . it's a sad ending, but you know, he'll still be w
alking
Hill has been a virtual recluse since undergoing the most extensive surgery to d
ate on his ankle in March
McGrady, who vacationed in Acapulco last month, said he hasn't talked to Hill fo
r some time and can't give a progress report on his recovery.
When informed of the possibility that Hill might sit out the season and the Magi
c could receive a $4.9 million disabled player's exception, McGrady looked taken
aback.
"Whatever is best for the team," McGrady said after participating in a Big Broth
ers & Big Sisters charity bowling event Saturday in Fern Park.
McGrady only shakes his head when asked about the Magic blowing a 3-1 playoff le
ad and being ousted by the Detroit Pistons. His wish list for an improved team b
egins and ends the same as it has the last three seasons.
"We need a big guy, man. We've been stressing that for three or four years now,"
he said.
"I think Drew Gooden has been doing a great job but he's still not that big guy
you're looking for," said McGrady of Gooden, who arrived at midseason in a trade
that sent McGrady's friend, Mike Miller, to the Memphis Grizzlies. "He's a powe
r forward and he plays extremely hard, but I think we need a center."
As for McGrady's game, he is working on all the components this off-season. And
because he is playing for the U.S. national team at this summer's Olympic qualif
ying tournament in Puerto Rico in August, "my workouts started earlier this summ
er. I'm working out now."
