McGrady has been on a winning team each and every year of his career with the exception of 03-04. The argument that SAR is a loser is unfair. He has produced, but he's not a superstar level player who can elevate his team. He is a good 2nd option and a great 3rd option.
Putting trade on hold because of health issues means lowering his market value. So, he must have spoken about that. Anyone would.
Is there a way to do a three way trade in which we send James+pick to Blazers and get a quality starting PG? Blazer get the pick and the 1-year service of James, and the third team get SAR.
Tinman is just playing dumb, guys (he's messing w/ya!). Come on... If SAR came to the Rockets, he's make us a lot better. Just as Swift will (and just like Swift would struggle if he was on another less talented team). The common denominator is that if *any* good player(s) comes to the ***talented laden*** Rockets, their career will benift from it. Period! It doesn't really matter...after reading Doc Rocket's thread stating that the Rox do NOT have any more money to spend. (shrug) Not sure. Oh, well... P.S. If I could get any third-tier player, it would be Andrei Kirilenko and put him at SF (and move TMac to 2-guard). PG: James/Sura SG: TMac/Head SF: Kirilenko/Bowen PF: Swift/Howard C: Yao/Mutombo
I remember a roster of one superstar and heroes that didn't mess with salary cap. WAS IT ALL A DREAM???
