Unable to find an NBA team willing to offer him a guaranteed contract, Tracy McGrady is taking his talents to China.
The seven-time NBA all-star is putting the finishing touches on a one-year deal with the Qingdao Eagles of the Chinese Basketball Association, according to Yahoo! Sports.
Sheng Xishun, manager of the club, has told media outlets that the deal will likely be finalized Wednesday.
McGrady recently worked out for the San Antonio Spurs and New York Knicks, but neither club was willing to commit to a roster spot for the 15-year NBA veteran.
McGrady posted career-low numbers with the Atlanta Hawks last season, averaging 5.3 points in 16 minutes per game.
He is following in the footsteps of another former NBA all-star, Stephon Marbury, who helped the Beijing Ducks to their first CBA title in two decades.
