    Take it for what it's worth. Each to their own. It was on the broadcast just now. Said he talked to a lot of people tonight and said they don't think he'll get moved. Again, tifwiw

    I think I hate Tmac so much that I want him to NOT be moved so he cant prove to any team he is worth more than Vet Min next year.

    Last thing we need is him doing well so we look like idiots, keep him shelved and ruin his league value like what happened to Spreewell.

    What benefit do we get from keeping him on the roster?

    22 million coming off the books with several big name players on the market?

    Morey came out saying nobody was untouchable and now all we hear is he doesn't want to give up a Budinger, Scola or Battier. Just get it done !!

    i think morey isnt budging at all and is tightly keeping his position in talks...more than likely that's why they dont think he'll be traded, teams are probably pulling their deals off the table or ending talks, going elsewhere. Not sure what to think about that, maybe Morey thinks it's more important to get scola and lowry back...i can't disagree with that, but hopefully we dont end up getting screwed in the offseason. He's probably thinking sign and trade...

    It's hard to take back a bad contract and be strapped for years when the cap is changing along with other unknowns. If Dorsey continues to develop, he could really help us down low.....however, we still need a REAL shooting guard.

    it's one thing to say you'll consider anyone and another to just start throwing them into trades...he still has to be smart about it. It has to be the right deal, a smart, and at least fair deal.

    That only works out if we were to attain another player coming off the books for someone who is on our payroll next season.

    So you're admitting we look like idiots because he still has basketball skill.

    Obviously somebody hasn't read BimaThugs thread.

    McGrady's expiring contract will only give the rockets around 7-8 million in cap space.

    You're right. A buyout still possible after. You won't be getting an asset back though(besides retaining your own)

    He has skill but no heart. I intended that to mean that I wish him nothing but Vet Min contracts from now on, and become so undervalued that ADIDAS drops him like a hot rock.

    Resign Scola/Lowry

    S&T for Salmons

    Bring in Llull


    That would be a for sure thing to happen by keeping McGrady
