    Indiana offers
    Al Harrington (6.3M) + Ron Artest (6.2M) for T-Mac (14.5)

    or

    Houston offers
    SF(11.3) + Mo(8.45) + Cat(5.9) + Pike(2.7) + TE(6.05) (total 34.4M) for T-Mac(14.5) + Hill(14.5) + Howard(5.4) (total 34.4M)

    Mo and Cato could be interchanged. Pike and Boki/Griffin could also be interchanged.

    Since T-Mac would probably not object to either team and would resign with them, which do you think Orlando would prefer?

    T-Mac is not going to another East Team. He will be heading out West.

    I just hope that CD and Les won't be as cocky this summer. We thought we had first bids on coaches last summer and we lost out on Brown, and we all know how that turned out.

    The only thing I want to know right now is if the Rockets have even contacted Orlando.

    I highly doubt ANYONE will take Mo's and CATO's contract...

    if Mo goes in the expansion draft...then we will be able to take Hill's contract, if not...we will only be able to offer Francis.

    But ESPN INSIDER had an article today that the trade for the Rockets might be:

    FRANCIS AND BOKI for Tracy...this sounds like Orlando might take.

    BUMP for all those that think this diva needs to make his mind up...hmmm...
    Same team different superstar same story-people think they wouldn't take Cato or mobley hahahah we got it done....patience guys-NETS HAVE nothing to offer worthwhile
    in return-the magic might as well hold onto him.
    Dwight also now using the excuses of not going to a city that has had great big men-aww Dwight sorry you'll be compared to big men the rest of your life-just play ball ya kno
    WHAT they PAY you to do

    Asked about a report listing the Lakers and Spurs as teams that interest him, McGrady said, "No, not San Antonio and L.A.
    "that would not be challenging, when everything's set there"
    TMAC quote he wanted pacers. Hou. , pistons, PHX-we GOT him tho just
    like we will get Dwight

    This has to do with the length of time we dealt with the rumor, and Dwight and tmac's comments-Dwight doesn't want to go to "a team with past great big men"
    Similarities

    The difference between Dwight and McGrady is that McGrady actually wanted to be here.

    did you guys see the difference between stars then and now?
    tmac said "that would be too easy" to go to already great teams. high respect for that. glad I was born in an era of competitors and not superfriends.

    Along with about five other destinations....ya he liked Yao, but my point is
    Hou. was on his list, not his top he would of loved PHX (thought that package was pretty good as well)-the difference Between the two is the GM in ORL.
    They want picks and cap space.

    Are you that stupid?:mad: why do you think Rockets got Yao in the first place? CAUSE THEY'RE A LOTTERY TEAM. While Spurs are on their dynasty run.
    Did you hear him OH I WANNA TEAM UP WITH DWill and be on JayZ's inner circle.

    man, I miss those days...Even though we didn't win a championship during TMac/Yao's run, at least we had hope and generally were among the top 7-8 teams..Now, this team is total disarry with no direction..
