I cant understand why Weirsbrod likes to drag out so much. Hes a real hog, though we have given him such a good offer which broke our franchise players heart. Is this deal our only option? Why not contact Wizards or other teams immediately? We dont have to wait for the deal in the air to let many chances slip. If the deal couldnt be done before July 1, we had better sign another contract before the day, then we can pursue appropriate players in time. If Weirsbrod wants to trade T-mac with Pacers or other teams in August, let it be. Yao plus other talents can also win. And we may be luck to sign T-mac next year.
That is probably what Weisass wants. He wants to deter the Rockets. TMAC has said the Rockets are his #1 choice therefore Weisass loses bargening power. If he can somehow get the Rockets out of the picture, maybe he'll receive a better value in return. It is for this reason that we just have to suck it up and play Weissass's game until the trade finally happens. Just one of my many conspiracy theories.
You are considerate IMO, Weisa$$ wont receive a better value in return. I dont mind waiting two more weeks for T-mac if he would only sign a long contract with Rockets. But Im not sure that.
