Anyone listening to 790? (McGrady for Szczerbiak trade rumor)

Bingo.

 

they would listen, but the only trade they were interested in was with dallas - for dirk and howard. that trade would have goen through but the owner didn't want to part with dirk.

at that time, who does want kobe? (even the bulls didn't want to trade deng for him?). dude was a cancer at that time, quit on his team in game 7... you stay in the moment.

 

I'd rather do a T-Mac for Hamilton deal. We would NEVER do this deal.

 

He would fit better with Yao and Artest....it is the same type of argument I was making when I said trade Artest for Mike Miller.

It is all about the sum of the whole being greater than the individual parts.

but who does the playmaking down the stretch of NBA playoff games? who are you going to give the ball when defenses ramp up the pressure?

yao, ron, hamilton aren't playmakers. at least get back a playmaker for tmac. the thing we lack right now is a consistent playmaker to go with yao's post game.

as we are seeing with rip in detroit right now, if he doesn't have a good PG to go with him and look for him, he's not gonna be that good. and detroit is sucking.

if anything, get a playmaker back for tracy. that's the ultimate goal.

 

Who good Hamilton is doing without a play maker and how good are Detroit doing with him.

 

I believe that their "source" from that website is none other than the guy who told us that the Rox were trading Scottie Pippen for Ray Allen back in the day... I almost ran off the road when I was down in Houston for a meeting and heard that he was on their show as an insider!

 

why do guys want to trade him when tracy remains the best bet to show up in the playoffs for us?

and his contract is up in the year where we get a choice of stars to choose from as free agents?

 

I'm actually with you. Hamilton have done nothing without a play maker and his Detroit is slumping vs crappy competition. He make no impact he is a good off the ball player that's it.

 

Did you ever think that the Lakers were NEVER serious about trading Kobe, and Morey knew that? If Kobe is as great as you say he is, and T-Mac is as injury-proned as you say he is, why on earth would the Lakers run with this trade? They wouldn't, and Daryl Morey knew that. So at that point, Morey knew that the most important thing for the team was for T-Mac to know that the Rockets front office had his back, and that they had full confidence that he was their man. Think of all the angles, not just what's been leaked by the media.

 

i understand. i'm just dumbfounded by the trades b/c you're trading your best playoff performer. they're frustrated by his reg. season absences (15-16 games at most) and is willing to trade our best playoff performer

 

I wasn't aware that people actually listened to 790. Now that I've learned the horrible truth, I can only ask: Why?

 

Theres no trade out there that can make our team better if we Trade T-Mac. If the trade doesn't include Kobe , LeBron , Wade then its a no. Trading a superstar for role players will not get the job done.

 

Didn't someone show that he basically just took more shots in the playoffs? But was no more efficient?

I forget......

We know Hakeem was better in the playoffs, but has McGrady REALLY been better? Or is it more Iron Pyrate?

You're wrong. Lakers were serious about getting rid of Kobe because he was distracting the team with the comments and the negativity at the time. His trade value was not great at the time and their GM flat out gone public saying he will listen in on the trade. It's stupid to make assumption that Lakers would not be taking Tmac based on today's condition, of course they wouldn't. But i am talking about BACK THEN....it's a possible trade scenario and i just think Morey is wrong by backing Tmac just because Kobe was a cancer back then. I will still gamble just as he had gambled with Artest...and Artest is someone i suggest trading for last year as well.

 

TMac is not a superstar......

He has superstar talent but not a superstar will to win.

pretty much sums it up

 

Now Ted Deluca's really showing how much he hates T-mac.

Ted, just because you have a job at a "sport radio" show that takes pride in naming itself after Urinals and piss laden floors doesn't mean you can say this team is better with Wally freakin serzveackz than with a proven ALL-Star. You suck and I fell bad for the other guy.

 

Hamilton's not doing well now in Detroit because he went from playing with a pass first PG to a high scoring shoot-first PG. I don't think you can really blame Hamilton its just Iverson's style of play that's effecting him.

 

Well i wonder what do you call a player who brings it in the playoffs every day every night. Averages 28.5 ppg with 6.2 apg 6.9 rpg 43 fg% please tell me what that is. Just cause a guy doesn't bring it every night during the regular season doesn't mean anything. Other guys can have the shooting touch where he doesn't need 2 do anything. He brings it when it matters the most and thats all that matters.
