Tmac says He'll Take less Money to Stay with Knicks.

By less money he probably means no less than $10 million lol.

 

Best of luck to Tmac....hope he stays healthy.....

 

That's nice. T-Mac no longer a Rocket though. Him and any news about him belongs in the dish. I can tell that will be hard getting used to.

 

i had a dream last night. Tmac was in a knicks jersey and he went for an open layup and couldnt get to the rim. lost all explosiveness. coincidence? or forshadowing?

 

Ah, so only a 21 million dollar salary. Oh, the sacrifices that must be made.

< Good. >

 

Uhhhh i'm pretty sure he didn't have to say this. There is absolutely no way he gets a big contract. MLE, if it still exists, is what he can expect.

 

What does he mean by less money? I don't think anyone in the league would offer him even a MLE deal at this point would they?

It's easy for a broken down vet to say he'll play for less money when nobody wants to pay him "more" money anyway.

Still, good luck to T-Mac. He helped reinvigorate a fanbase here so I wish him well.

 

i am thinking he means the MLE

give FA 1 and FA2 the max the knicks become capped out offer tmac the MLE

 

They can't do that. Because they will be under the cap when FA begins they will not be able to offer the MLE.

You can't use cap space to sign players AND an MLE.

I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up being a 16/5/5 player for NY the rest of this season. He looked pretty good physically for a guy who had microfracture less than a year before when he played briefly this season. His conditioning, quickness and explosiveness looked pretty good to me and will only get better. I'm glad he's gone but I think he can contribute quite a bit with the right team.

I just don't think NY is going to get Lebron or Wade much less Lebron, Wade AND Chris Bosh (since that's impossible). So I don't see him staying in NY. He'll wait things out and see what team(s) have the best chance of getting a title next season and see if he can't ride coattails to a Championship there. I doubt LA would want him but I could see Miami or Cleveland trying to acquire him provided their stars don't leave. I could also see SA making a run at him if he comes cheap enough. They seem to be in "sign a geezer" mode over the last two years trying to make one more run with Duncan.

Either way, good luck and goodbye, McGrady.

 

Well......I read somewhere that McGrady has made around 180 million for his career.

Yea.......money isn't an object when you've made that much lol.

If it is managed correctly, his great great grandkids shouldn't have to work.

 

Careful...you're being logical.

I agree with you, by the way. I hope he does well.

 

Of course he'll take less money than he made this season. That goes without saying. Though I think he is saying that if 2 max guys go to the Knicks, he'll take less money to stay there than take a more lucrative offer from another team.

I don't think NY will really get 2 headliners. But, I'd actually love to see it: Lebron, Wade, McGrady, Lee, etc in MSG. NY has been pathetic for too long.

 

I'm sure NY would still allow the trade to finalize since it's their decision.

 

Starting to become Donnie Walsh's 2010 free agency advertising department. Lousy bum.

 

Sadly, I think he is still a better player than Martin.

 

Great grandkids only? More like any of his b*stard offspring dawning the name Mcgrady.
