DETROIT -- Tracy McGrady has agreed to a one-year, $1.35 million contract with the Detroit Pistons, a source told ESPN.com.
McGrady played in just 30 games last season for the Houston Rockets and New York Knicks. He had major surgery on his right knee in the middle of the 2008-09 season.
The seven-time All-Star and two-time scoring champion drew some interest from the Chicago Bulls this summer.
Bulls vice president of basketball operations John Paxson told "The Waddle & Silvy Show" on ESPN 1000 that McGrady had "a very good workout" for the team, but didn't fit with their plans.
"He's a good guy. But we just felt that given where we're at, and the way we want to play, we do want to be more of an up-tempo team on the offensive end. We want to run and push the ball," Paxson said.
"It was more based on the youth of our team and where we're at. He'll do well. Tracy looked like he was just going to turn the corner physically," he said.
