Terms of the deal were not released. Before being traded to the Rockets from Orlando in June, McGrady had vowed to exercise the opt-out clause in his contract, which had three years remaining. The clause was to go into effect after this season. "I'm pretty happy about that. It's one thing I can get off my mind," McGrady told Houston television station KRIV. Rockets owner Les Alexander said in a statement that team officials now would direct their efforts on All-Star center Yao Ming. "We hope to sign him to a long-term contract as soon as allowable," he said.</div> Souce Real surprise to me. I wasn't expecting this. I thought McGrady wanted to see how the season would go first then make up his mind. Looks like training camp and Pre-season helped make his decision quicker and easier. Next up: Yao...that's gonna be a while though.
