Tracy Mcgrady now a Rocket

Orlando Magic sent Tracy Mcgrady, Juwan Howard and two other players to the Houston Rockets Tuesday for Steve Francis.

The two time NBA scoring champion now joins 7 foot 5 Yao Ming to form one of the most intriguing duos.

McGrady, tired of carrying a mediocre team, vowed to exercise the opt-out clause that was to go into effect at the end of next season. But the Magic did not want him to leave without the team receiving compensation.
