    lol and i really like derrick rose, he looks like he loves this game, he has heart. tmac...eh not so much.. bad choice for a role model, heart wise, talent wise and style of play, great choice. but i dont think rose has the body to play how anywhere how tmac played, we should leave that to durantula. rose should learn to play like derron williams, imo, if he copied his style he would thrive more in it.

    Tracy needs to re-establish his game. He has to realize he can't do the things he could back in the day. He needs to build on the strengths he has now, rather than try to gain his old form or relive the glory days.

    Still think he has the deadliest mid-range game in the league. Lack of athleticism won't severely affect that.

    Should be good. I miss McGrady making an ass of himself in the media. In Chicago, he will get enough national attention to give us some real good quotes.

    He said he was his favorite player he didn't say he models his game after T-Mac.

    By his style of play so far in this league it is obvious he doesn't model his game after McGrady.

    While I hope Rose can make T-Mac turn a new leaf, chances are his childhood hero is going to disappoint him a lot.

    if t-mac become a bull.. he can help derrick get better offensively... n he can bring veteran leadership to the bulls n a guy who can bring offense n player making at the wing and at the guard position... i think its goods for bulls n mac but t-mac just need to stick to his new role.. derrick is the franchise

    Maybe now, T-Mac can finally make Boozer an elite player or at least wreck both of their careers trying

    D-Rose better be careful what he wishes for. If McGrady ends up on that team, hopefully Thibs will learn from experience and not enable him at all. If that happens, I wonder how McGrady will react to a coach blasting him for not hustling. If he's man enough to handle it, fine. Otherwise, I hope the Bulls send him on a charter back to Clipperland exile..

    Rose won't like him so much when he's in and out of the lineup and telling the coach how/when he should play him.

    I'd be surprised if Tmac plays healthy (meaning not injured or trying to get himself back into shape after sitting out) even 25% of the season. The chemistry and morale of the Bulls will take a hit and they'll be looking to get rid of him before the end of the season just like the Knicks.

    I hope the Bulls don't make any ridiculous contract offers...

    Seriously, guys. T-Mac is done. The injuries and all the years he's played have taken his explosiveness away. He's a horrible shooter, so T-Mac won't be able to do anything besides give false hype.
