Serious Discussion - what could we trade Tmac for...

tmac for dwade.

 

He contributed to helping the team reach the 2nd round. As some guys would say on here.

As for this thread. The Rockets shouldn't trade McGrady or anyone. With McGrady out we are seeing how we can play without him. Now add a dominate force like him into the line-up with this team then all hell will break loose for the league. No one would be able to stop the Rockets.

 

T-Mac has no use for a contender anymore. He just isn't a good leader. He has bad mentality.

A billion dollar talent in a 2 cent brain is the way I would best describe Tracy.

Don't get Ben Gordon either, He's Aaron Brooks except much more streaky. But I'm sure he would be able to pass it to Yao though. So add AB in the trade and I'll be happy.

 

Answer me this one question. Name any superstar or basically anyone in the league who can dominate while being seriously hurt?

 

You are STILL using the injury excuse? If you are out on the court you can play. Plain and simple stop making excuses. Yao Ming came back from an injury in a middle of the game, Paul Pierce, Isiah Thomas.

Tracy McGrady fans are so similar to Allen Iverson fans, because they both do nothing but make excuses for their favorite player's failures. Just saying. I'm not saying McGrady sucks, All I'm saying is he has not been successful.

 

I think you're being a bit harsh. I'm one of those big T-Mac fans and yet I do not mind him getting traded from the Rockets as I feel he could do better elsewhere. I will always follow his game as a form of respect. He did do a lot for this squad but the post season results weren't there. Maybe he'd fit well on the Spurs squad. We can get Manu and maybe George Hill from them for T-Mac.

 

You can't put McGrady and Iverson in the same sentence as for playing with injuries. McGrady doesn't play Iverson is a warrior and plays no matter what or tries to. Yao Ming was not injured. If Yao was injured then we all know he would have not returned because the training staff is real cautious with Yao. They know he has a history with injuries and if they sense that anything is wrong with him they are going to sit him.

 

I feel the exact same way, the thing is, i think we could get something better with that expiring contract than rushing and making a trade that will leave us worse.

Honestly if we don't get a player named Ben Gordon, Danny Granger, Caron Butler or Joe Johnson (that's ofcourse excluding superstars like lebron, wade, cp3, howard, bosh, melo etc.) I don't even want to look into it.

I'd rather wait a year and get Dwyane wade than rush and getting an injury prone Baron Davis or and aging Steve Nash.

 

I too wouldn't take Davis or Nash. That would be such a waste. I think the best fit would be a Ray Allen type of player, someone who can score crazy from the wing. Granger is untouchable.

 

I want Butler or Rip..

 

Even if that means not having enough money (busting the cap ofcourse) to resign our 2 end contract guys even though I don't think Wafer will want to resign now.

 

That's basically saying would you trade Wade for Artest and Wafer.

We'll have to see, but we have alot options were we can come out winning.

Option 1:
Trade tmac for a great talent(s). Example a Ben Gordon and a Hinrich. That could automatically get them into the Lebron sweepstakes, and why wouldn't lebron want to come to the legendary windy city? With a rising superstar in rose and role players like salmons, noah and Tyrus Thomas. That would look nice for both of us and heck when they release tmac maybe we can re-sign for a lesser amount of money who knows maybe he'll pull a 08-09 Shaq.

Option 2:
We can let go of artest and or Wafer stay with Tmac this year, maybe sign a bibby, and wait til his contract expires and enter the Wade sweepstakes in 2010.

Brooks/Lowry
Wade
Battier
Scola/Landry
Yao

Idk about you but that looks nice.

Option 3:
The lesser possible of the options but still possible. Tmac regains a semi elite status (07-08 Tmac) and we try this big 3 option again, we'd have to work out negotiations with Ron but either way we can get a player through the draft or FA if he doesen't want to be with houston.


Should be interesting..

 

I have no idea what your reading but your wait till his contract is up and get Wade is a gamble. A huge gamble. I guarantee that these superstars already have an idea on what they are doing.

And you want to gamble on a low low chance and lose Rtest in the process then come out with nothing?

Because that is what will happen. Wade will stay or try to play with Lebron. End story.

 

Wade isn't the only player in there..Amare, Bosh, Lebron, Redd, Joe Johnson etc.

It's not like we could replace ron with soemone cheaper like a Jamal Crawford or a Ben Gordon this year.

You seem to not take age into consideration. Ron body will wear down and we can keep his toughness for ever.

Really is that what happened to brand this year? Or JO? People wants the green and we have 20 million + for the 2010 season. Do you think that is not attractive?

 

No trade,keep TMac and give the 'big 3' one last chance next year....

 

we have artest, no more chance for tmac, he can cr y when we hold our trophy

 

We should give Memphis/Chris Wallace priority when it comes to trade talk. Morey and Wallace are good trade partners. We need to check out if we want Mayo/Conley/Marc Gasol. Chris Wallace may gift-wrapped them for us. He likes to do it this way.

 

The problem is Ron and Tmac have not shown they can play well together. We will also suffer defensively against most teams if both are on the floor at the same time because you lose Battier to guard the quicker 2s. For all of Artest's flaws as a player, I doubt you're going to find many here who wouldn't take Artest over 'semi-elite' McGrady right now.

 

Yup I dont think the big 3 will work here either. Ideally you'd like to have a highly efficient jump shooter like Reggie or Allen in that other big 3 surrounding Yao + Artest/Mcgrady. Artest's + Mcgrady's game dont mesh very well. Worse comes to worse, we'd have a hefty 20 million extra to spend, otherwise package for perimeter shooter, backup C, pg, or some combination of the three.

 

Yea i think trading with Chicago is a perfect trade. They have players that are willing to come off the bench. I think Gordon coming off the bench is perfect...he's such a great shooter and will provide a spark for us. So Gordon + more players for Tmac will work. And this will keep our starting lineup as it is...because you don't want to mess up Artest and Battier as starters. We just need a stronger bench even though we're pretty darn good with our roster. We need a shot blocker and Tyus Thomas. Maybe Gordon + Tyus Thomas will work. Or Gordon + Miller (since we need someone to back up Yao and allow Scola to rest a bit).
