    I think Shane is teaching Trevor and Chase, I expect his minutes to lesson over the course of the year too......

    Chase still needs a lot of work. He's going to be a minor role player for at least the next half season and probably won't be a mainstay until next year or two. He's got huge upside, but it took brooks a few years and I expect the same from Chase.

    Assuming Tracy is still on the Rockets after the deadline and is playing rather well, how far do you believe this Rockets team can go?

    If he doesnt play, how far do you think this team goes?

    At best first round exit for either scenario.

    Nearly 10ppg is a minor role player?

    As much as I am a fan of his Bud is nowhere near B. Jennings or T. Evans' level in terms of offensive prowess.

    according to them we're gonna trade mac, too bad i've got his authentic jersey from a couple years ago. i'd like to get a young player with upside, + expiring.

    This is rediculous. clearly tmacs time is closing in Houston, which is unfortunate because we need him badly. He has been a fantastic NBA player and could be a necesary piece to this team. The article is saying tmac can't help us, he's very wrong. Tmac in his prime was an uptempo player and excelled at it. He was able to run the court and make spectacular plays but was also a reliable scorer in crunch time. Lastly, he has been a willing passer on this team no one can deny that.

    I'm not a T-Mac hater or fanboy, but that was one of the worst Chronicle articles ever written

    You're late to the part. That original story has been debunked.

    we should trade t-mac for jermaine o'neal since they both are expiring deals. O'neal is averaging 14.5 ppg, 7.5 rpg, and 1.1 bpg in 32 minutes. He would at least be somewhat of an inside prescence for this season. this would be the rotation.

    Starters:

    PF - Scola (30mpg)

    SF - Battier (34mpg)

    C - O'Neal (30mpg)

    SG - Ariza (37mpg)

    PG - Brooks (35mpg)


    Bench:

    PG - Lowry (20mpg)

    SG/SF - Budinger (18mpg)

    PF - Landry (20mpg)

    PF/C - Hayes/Anderson (16mpg)

    mac is going regardless what happens. even i he has a good season, he's gone. He just has too much baggage, too much ego on a team that runs on individuals who create a team rather than a team made up of a big star and pieces.
