Re: Apparently the Mac/Francis deal is not quite a deal

Orlando Sentinel: The trade of Tracy McGrady to the Houston Rockets could end up bringing both Seattle all-star guard Ray Allen and Miami Heat small forward Caron Butler to Orlando.
Meanwhile, with interest in McGrady peaking and offers rolling in, Weisbrod said he will turn his attention to the Draft tonight and put a moratorium on T-Mac discussions.
"We're still weighing a lot of options with Tracy. He still could be here this season, or he could be traded," Weisbrod said. "If we do trade him, I don't think there's any chance of it happening before the Draft."
If the deal with Houston does go through, the Magic have talked with Seattle about a trade with Francis and Allen as the centerpiece.
The Magic have also talked to the Miami Heat about a trade that would send Mobley and forward Drew Gooden in exchange for Butler.
The Rockets and Pacers may be the two strongest bidders for McGrady's services.
"There are plenty of deals out there for Tracy. If we wanted to do a deal today, we could," Weisbrod said. "But we're certainly not going to rush anything. We're going about it as methodically as we can. There is no time pressure."
In anticipation of the Houston trade, the Magic are also talking to the Washington Wizards about dealing Francis on to them in exchange for point guard Gilbert Arenas and former No. 1 pick Kwame Brown.
