Tracy McGrady

Knicks pres­i­dent Don­nie Walsh said a mis­per­cep­tion exists that his inter­est in the Rock­ets’ Tracy McGrady is solely as a rental to inject life into a dying season.

“There’s rea­sons other than that,” Walsh told The Post.

Walsh declined to spec­ify, but a source said the Knicks might have long-term plans for McGrady.

At least they would have a fall­back can­di­date if McGrady excels and they are unable to land one of the top free agents, LeBron James or Dwyane Wade.
