Is TMac a player that is seen by the rest of the league as washed up or just a player that is hurt and will regain his former self? When should TMac's knee finally heal? I was under the impression that the knee was scoped and the surgery fairly minor but he is acting like it was a complete replacement. It has been 7 months since the surgery, is this normal? Does Chicago still have an interest in him?
His contract has value. The funny part is all the Rockets fans screaming for a trade act like the rest of the league isn't noticing our frustration with T-Mac. Like they aren't well aware of the situation or something. I don't get it. Shhhhhh.....Let's keep it a secret!
Anyone else still stupid enough to think he is going to "turn it on" for the playoffs? Send him home if you can't trade him. Hopefully he chokes on a pork rind.
as much as I want to trade tmac right now... I do not want Odom, the salmons trade would be sweet... but pretty much impossible.
I would say,NO sir,he's done,completely. Dump him or waive him or whatever,just kick this guy out of our roster.
Honestly, he still has value. His contract expires on 2010 and that's huge for a team who wants to land LBJ/DW/CB.
Don't trade him now. But definitly trade him after he recovers and plays well. He will play well for a stretch (long or short) at certain time, trade him at that time to get the best we can get, even if the best means 20cents for $1. Never expect him to play consistently with 100% effort for a very long stretch, for a whole season, or when things get tough. He only gets softer and softer when it gets tough. I don't know why the hell there are still fans out there saying we should NOT trade him. I think the league all knows that he worth little even if he can have a good stretch of play. His trade value is quite low.
No, we'll only get another low value player in return. His trade value will come as an expiring contract. I think they'll hold onto him and see if he can turn it around in the playoffs. Me, I'm expecting another first round exit, followed by a probable dismantling of the team. I hope I'm wrong about another playoff disaster, but all signs are pointing to it. If they do dismantle the team, that means next season will be a race to the bottom for that prized number one pick.
We need to find an idiot GM like the former hockey guy at Orlando to take TMac off of us. I think T-Mac is still worth some young talent. Maybe even a pair of talents. But the days of T-Mac for Kobe are LONG GONE theSAGE
