In 2004, why did Magic trade McGrady who averaged 28+6 per game?

I am a sports champion. Let me answer this question.

I am so excited to see this problem! Because McGrady is my favorite star and Magic is my second home team! I am excited about this transaction for half a year, because McGrady and Yao Ming are finally on the same team! My favorite star finally went to my favorite first home team.

Let me tell you why Magic traded McGrady!

1: The team's record is not good.

In the 2002-2003 season, the Magic almost turned over the Detroit Pistons ranked 1 in the first round of the playoffs, when the Magic was 3: 1 ahead of the Pistons. McGrady even boldly stated: We are already considering who our opponent will be in the next round. As a result, the tenacious Pistons simply won three consecutive victories and staged a shocking reversal.

The magic team that was greatly reversed was like a deflated ball. In the 2003-2004 season, Orlando Magic started with a losing streak of 19, and only achieved a record of 2 1 6 1 negative in the whole season! Ranked first in the league.

McGrady's best record in the Magic's four years is only the first round of the playoffs. Magic executives are quite disappointed with McGrady's performance! This is the most important reason for Magic to trade McGrady.

2. Contradictions with management

Mike Miller is one of McGrady's best friends and assistants in magic! Miller and McGrady are almost inseparable on and off the court. At that time, Ewing and Grant urgently needed a strong insider to improve the team's combat effectiveness.

So the Magic gave Miller, who averaged 16.4 points +5.8 rebounds and won the "best rookie" per game, plus two first-round draft picks to the Grizzlies, in exchange for young Drew Gooden, Girisek and $500,000.

When McGrady learned that Mike Miller had been traded, he was furious! Because Miller is not only a good friend of McGrady, but also McGrady's best helper in magic! McGrady is furious that Miller was traded!

Then the unlucky bull became McGrady's vent tool, and McGrady scored 52 points in three quarters to express his dissatisfaction with the magic executives! Miller's deal really broke McGrady's heart. From the moment Miller was traded, the fate between Magic and McGrady came to an end, and the rift between the two sides was irreparable. It's only a matter of time before Magic trades McGrady!

3. McGrady's state is declining

In the 2003-04 season, McGrady made 67 appearances for the Magic, averaging 28.0 points +6.0 rebounds +5.5 assists per game, and remained a top superstar, including a superb performance of 62 points per game! Won the title of "scoring king" for two consecutive years!

At first glance, McGrady is still at his peak. In fact, McGrady has gone downhill again this season. Let's look at a set of data comparison!

In the 2002-03 season, McGrady played 74 times, averaging 32. 1 minute, 45.7% shooting percentage, 38.6% 3-point shooting percentage, 6.5 rebounds and 5.5 assists. In the 2003-04 season, McGrady averaged 28.0 points, shot 465,438+0.7%, made 67 appearances, shot 33.9% from three-pointers, 6.0 rebounds and 5.0 assists. From the comparison of this set of data, it is not difficult to see that McGrady's appearances, shooting percentage, scores, rebounds and assists have all declined! It turned out that McGrady did spend the Spring Festival in Wang Xiaoer, and it got worse every year.

It's a wise move for Magic to trade McGrady, which has declined in an all-round way, for Francis+Mobry, the "golden backcourt" of Rockets!

Conclusion:

The above is my answer, thank you for reading! Welcome to make corrections and comments. Thank you.

25 years old is the rising period of McGrady! Why did the magic trade him out? Please listen to me! Yao Ming joined the NBA, making the American football market really hot in China. In this way, Yao Ming's teammates have also attracted a lot of light, including players like Francis, old cat Mobry and Kevin Cato. But the biggest influence is not them, but McGrady!

The combination of Yao Ming and McGrady is very popular with fans. Therefore, McGrady has more fans in China. His TMAC combat boots were the dream equipment of teenagers in the stadium of that era.

So have you ever wondered why McGrady switched from magic to rockets at his peak? McGrady has made his mark in the Magic period, averaging 28 points, 6.9 rebounds, 5 rebounds and 5.2 assists in the Magic's four seasons. And won the scoring champion in 2002 and 2003. He is the tactical core of Magic and the boss of the team.

Practically speaking, McGrady was almost as popular as Kobe. It can be said that Magic witnessed the most brilliant moment of McGrady's career. How can the magic suit team be willing to let such a superstar go?

Reason 1: Bad record.

In the 2003-04 season, Magic only got 2 1, ranking at the bottom of the league. McGrady's data is still eye-catching, averaging 28 points, 6 rebounds and 5.5 assists, winning the scoring title again. Although the data is eye-catching, it is inevitable to brush the data. This kind of achievement is unwilling to be seen by the top management of the team.

Reason 2: change friends.

Everyone knows that Mike Miller is a good friend of McGrady's magic period, but the club doesn't care about this, and everything is in the interests of the team. However, this obviously upset McGrady, so there was a gap with the top.

Reason three: injury

If it weren't for injuries, McGrady's career wouldn't have ended prematurely. If it weren't for injuries, McGrady's achievements should be far more than that. As we all know, McGrady's waist injury has been bothering him. This is another reason why Magic is willing to trade him away.

What do you think of this? Welcome to comment!

When it comes to McGrady, the first thing that comes to mind is the elegant style of playing and the combination of Yao and Mai. Later, everyone will lament that he didn't play as high as everyone expected because of his injury. It can be said that although McGrady's career is as amazing as Ross's, it has not reached the real peak. If we have to give McGrady a peak, it is to play in the magic period between 2002 and 2004. Speaking of this, many fans and friends may have questions, which is better than why McGrady was traded by Magic at that time.

I am here to tell you. Before telling the story of McGrady and the magician, I will also tell you why he left the Raptors.

Nobody cares, and McGrady angrily leaves the Raptors.

McGrady entered the league in the first round 1997. At that time, the head coach of the team was also named Carter. Carter can be said to like McGrady's talent very much, but considering that he is a high school student, Carter hopes that he can cultivate slowly like Kobe. After all, McGrady is not so mature tactically and physically. As a result, as a substitute, McGrady played a dull role in the first season of his career.

Later, his cousin Carter joined the Raptors. At this time, the management of the Raptors began to arrange tasks for coach Carter. Because everyone wants their own "Jordan", and Carter plays so well, he became the core of the team in Carter's first season, and McGrady was regarded as Carter's Pippen. Even so, although he didn't get the starting position for his fans, coach Carter was still good. He often takes McGrady to train and get in shape.

With the help of the head coach, McGrady averaged 15 points, 6.3 rebounds and 3.3 assists 1. 1 steals 0.9 blocks in the third season of his career. His breakthrough was almost unprepared, but even so, the Raptors still thought Carter was the team leader.

Because he wanted to get rid of his cousin's shadow, and Adi wanted McGrady to return to the United States to play, McGrady left Toronto to join the Magic.

Magic is clever, but the management is too brainless.

In the first season of joining Magic, McGrady showed his talent on the offensive end, averaging 26.8 points, 7.5 rebounds and 4.6 assists 1.5 steals 1.5 blocks, dominating the offensive and defensive ends, choosing the best second team and leading the team to the playoffs. At this time, he has been tied with his cousin Carter, averaging 27.6 points, 5.5 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 65,438 this season.

In the playoffs, McGrady was even more violent, averaging 33.8 points, 6.5 rebounds and 8.2 assists 1.7 steals 1.2 blocks. At this time, McGrady has attracted the attention of the whole league.

In the following 0 1-02 season, McGrady led the team to the playoffs again and was selected as the best player. In the 2002-03 season, McGrady broke out. At this point, he is unstoppable on the offensive end. The fastest first step in the league and the height of 2.03 meters can't be balanced at the shooting guard position, averaging 32. 1 6.5 rebounds, 5.5 assists 1.6 steals and 0.8 blocks per game.

During the magic period, McGrady had a good friend named Mike Miller. From the beginning of his debut, he showed good projection ability. 0 1-02 season average 15.2 points. A sophomore is very good. It stands to reason that magic should focus on cultivating him. As a result, Magic didn't do this and traded him.

This caused McGrady's dissatisfaction. At that time, McGrady said that if anyone traded Miller, I would retire immediately. He thought it was the magic boss, but the magic still thought the injured hill was. They would rather bet on Hill than give Miller a chance, which also caused the complete collapse of McGrady and management.

In the 2003-04 season, because McGrady was angered by the management, he began to ignore the record and only brushed data defense. Although McGrady averages 28 points, 6 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game, the team's record is the lowest in the league, even if you are the scoring champion. Magic management was completely angry. They intend to trade McGrady in the offseason, which is obviously what McGrady wants to see. Finally, they completed the deal with the rocket.

Magic got Yao Ming's eldest brother Francis, who had a fight with Van Gundy in the Rockets, and then Mobry and Cato. The Magic gave McGrady to Howard and Tyrone Lu. At that time, McGrady was only 24 years old. He had unlimited possibilities, but the magic management was always so stubborn. In the third year of O 'Neill's career, O 'Neill led the team to the finals.

As a result, the magic lost face. But that Hardaway is the future of the team, so O 'Neill was asked to give up the ball and not give O 'Neill a top salary, which completely angered O 'Neill and led to the story of O 'Neill joining the Lakers. Although McGrady didn't play his due high level due to injury, the Magic should build a team around him anyway. If McGrady can stay healthy, his future is limitless. Even Jordan said that McGrady was more talented than him.

McGrady is deeply loved by China fans because of his elegant playing style and Yao Ming teammates. In addition to playing style, McGrady's talent of seemingly inadvertently generating huge data has also been talked about by many fans. So far, many fans think that McGrady is the ceiling of NBA talents. However, what puzzles many fans is that since McGrady's talent was so excellent, why did the Magic trade McGrady, who averaged 28+6 per game? You know, McGrady was only 24 years old at that time, which was definitely the core of team building.

In the magic data season 00-0 1, McGrady chose to leave his cousin Carter when it was less than 2 1. He came to the wizarding world from the Raptor. In the first season, McGrady averaged 26.8 points, 7.5 rebounds and 4.6 assists 1.5 steals 1.5 blocks.

In the 2003-04 season, McGrady averaged 28 points, 6 rebounds, 5.5 assists 1.4 steals and 0.6 blocks. He won the NBA scoring championship for the second consecutive season, but it was this season that McGrady was traded.

In 2004, why did Magic trade McGrady who averaged 28+6 per game? The first is the magic record. Although McGrady won the scoring championship for two consecutive seasons, in 67 games in 2003-04, the team only scored 19-48. That season, Magic finally scored 2 1 6 1 negative, and Magic missed the playoffs. The team's poor record made Magic question McGrady's ability to lead the team.

Secondly, McGrady's character. McGrady has super talent, and McGrady also has extraordinary skills, but in McGrady, we can't see the responsibility and fighting spirit of superstars. Maybe he despaired of magic, or thought it was hopeless. McGrady was anxious to leave the team. He was eager to leave, so throughout the season, McGrady was more concerned about the data. It seems that winning or losing the team has little to do with him. It is precisely because of this that the Magic will be disappointed with McGrady.

Finally, the Magic expects the combination of McGrady and Hill to bring the team back to the top teams. However, Hill's "Glass Man" attribute and McGrady's attitude made the Magic realize that if this goes on, the team will not only spend money in vain, but also get no results. Moreover, it is very important that if Magic doesn't trade McGrady, it will be the contract year soon. If McGrady leaves as a free agent, Magic will lose people and money, so the trade will start.

In the offseason, McGrady was traded to the Mosaic team. In the days of fighting side by side with Yao Ming, the combination of the two was once very optimistic. Even Yao Ming refused to join the Lakers for McGrady. He thinks McGrady can't be worse than Kobe, and they can win the championship. However, it turns out that magic is very accurate in judging people, and Yao Ming is still wrong.

At that time, the young McGrady could be said to be on the rise of his career, but the Magic still traded McGrady, which was difficult to understand at that time. Because of Magic's record, and then McGrady's personal reasons. McGrady and Magic parted ways for several reasons!

In the summer of 2000, Magic signed two of the hottest players at that time in the free market, namely Grant? Hill and Tracy? McGrady, the Magic wants to make a difference at this time, so that the team can achieve better results. 00-0 1 season magic 43 wins and 39 losses, ranking eighth in the east, stopping the first round of the playoffs, 0 1-02 season 44 wins and 38 losses ranked fourth in the east, also stopping the first round of the playoffs. 42 wins and 40 losses in the 2002-03 season or stopped in the first round. There seems to be no progress in three years. The team needs to change and find a new direction!

In the 2003-2004 season, Magic won 2 1 win and 6 1 lose in the regular season. The management is definitely dissatisfied with this record, and McGrady, who won the scoring championship twice in a row, failed to let the team go further. At this time, the team was impatient with McGrady, and the relationship between McGrady and management broke down. Coupled with McGrady's own injuries, the team does not want to put the future on McGrady. In the case that McGrady played such an excellent performance, the Magic still put McGrady on the shelf, which also means that the Magic has planned to completely change the team's tactics and lineup, and finally the Magic broke up with McGrady.

There is also a saying that McGrady made a deal for the team at that time, and the team had the veto power to trade. If you don't trade, you will eventually lose McGrady for nothing. It's better to change some chips for it.

Conclusion: McGrady reached the peak in Magic and won the scoring champion, but the team did not enter the second round of the playoffs, which was a failure for Magic and finally had to break up.

On June 30th, 2004, the Rockets and Magic reached a deal: Magic was sent to McGrady, tyronn lue, Juwan Howard and reece gaines, and the deal was won by Francis, Cuttino Mobley and kelvin cato. Since then, Yao Ming and McGrady began to cooperate, and the "Yao Mai" group has become a youthful memory of many fans.

Looking back at the deal now, there are still many fans who don't understand: Why did Magic send McGrady away when he was still at his peak? Before being traded, McGrady averaged 28 points, 6 rebounds and 5.5 assists, making him the league's leading scorer this season. He was also elected as an all-star and the second best team. Moreover, McGrady is not yet 25 years old, and there is still a lot of room for development. How could Magic be willing to trade him out? Then what happened?

The main reason: contradiction with management.

2000-200 1 season is the first season for McGrady to come to the Magic, and it is also the rookie season for Mike Miller. He was selected by the Magic in the fifth overall pick in the first round. Miller has excellent three-point ability, and he is a good helper for McGrady on the court. Since then, they have become very good friends.

As we all know, McGrady is a very sad player. After he entered the NBA, his relatives died constantly, which caused a great blow to him, so it is very rare to have a good friend. However, the NBA is a business after all. In 2002-2003, because the Magic lacked high-quality inside players, Miller was traded to the Grizzlies as a bargaining chip, which made McGrady very angry. The impact of his friend's transaction on him is similar to the death of a relative. As a result, the gap between him and the management of the Magic team arose, and the idea of leaving the team began to sprout.

So in the 2003-2004 season, McGrady began to brush the data himself, regardless of the team's life or death. In the end, McGrady won the scoring title of the season, but the shooting percentage was extremely low, only 4 1.7%, and the Magic only got 2 1 win 6 1 loss, ranking first in the East. The management knows that McGrady can't stay, and his contract year is coming. Instead of letting his contract end, it is better to exchange him for some high-quality players.

Secondary reason: McGrady's ability is questioned.

Magic Last season, McGrady's data was 28+6+5.5 and his shooting percentage was 465,438+0.7%. Compared with last season's average of 32. 1 point, 6.5 rebounds and 5.5 assists, his shooting percentage is 45.7%. In fact, McGrady has actually regressed. His shooting percentage is the worst in Magic. Meanwhile, McGrady keeps getting hurt.

In addition to personal ability, leadership is also an aspect that McGrady is questioned. In the four years of Magic, McGrady's personal data reached the peak of his career, but the team's record has not been very good. Although the first three years barely reached the playoffs, it was all a round trip, and there was no substantive breakthrough. .

Especially in the first round of the playoffs in 2003, when the Magic was 3- 1 ahead of the Pistons, the teammates were waiting for the team boss to make an exciting speech to inspire everyone to win another victory and create a miracle of Black Eight. However, McGrady helped himself to a hamburger. Later, the miracle did not happen, the piston completed a big reversal, and the first round of magic swam again.

McGrady's sleepy eyes make people unable to see his fighting spirit and desire to win, and his silent and sensitive personality makes it difficult for him to become a leader in the locker room and on the court. Coupled with injuries, McGrady was greatly questioned. Even when he told the team owner to leave the team, the latter did not keep him. From that moment on, the fate of both sides came to an end, and the story of "Yao Mai" combination followed.

The main reason is that McGrady wants to leave. That season, he often made three-pointers at half-court, averaging nearly eight three-pointers per game. Obviously, he just played a winning streak at random.

Personally, I think McGrady has already begun to reflect the physique of the glass man at that time, and at the same time, because of his outstanding performance before, he has been pushed to the fourth position by the media, and even said that his talent is higher than Kobe. To be on the safe side, the magic management decided to cash out and trade at a high level. Facts have proved that McGrady's overall performance in the rockets is not as good as that in the magic, and injuries continue, but the three rockets traded by the magic have not been able to play in the rockets. Objectively speaking, it was a sad deal from the beginning, although McGrady left a bright spot of 35 seconds 13.

Magic McGrady's team's record is really not so good, or the Magic's record in McGrady's period is really poor, especially Rivers' first 3-/kloc-0-/was turned over. Hill's injury and contract are gone, and the team can only make other choices. Francis Mobry is a 0 1 20+ player and the only 20+ player in the backcourt. In 2002, although the old cat declined slightly, it also achieved a score of 17. Plus the top pick in the draft, it seemed that magic didn't suffer at that time. Unfortunately, Francis was injured. Later, his good friend Old Cat was sent to the Clipper. Hill went to the sun and never recovered.

It's better to get back together and hang out with you who has no future. Hill's big contract can't be handled.
