Seems unlikely but in the event we do somehow land Rashard, should we consider trading TMac? They play the same position and are the same age and nearly identicle stat wise. TMac is clearly the more valuable player so in a trade he could bring back possibly the missing peices, PG-PF in a trade. Just curious to how people would react to such a scenerio.
no, because we are running in circles if we trade tmac right after we get lewis. We want lewis to be a 3rd scorer (where he should be), not a 2nd scorer & play-maker
tmac is a 2. did you watch any of the games last season? 1. rafer 2. tmac 3. battier 4. hayes 5. yao who's the we todd now?
Tmac has always played in the 2's in his Orlando days. Oh, and last year as well in case you haven't noticed.
no because we need a thrid scorer not get a third scorer and trade one away. that would put us where we started except rashard is not as good as tmac 3-1=2
TMac for the whole Western Conference All-Star Team would solve our problems too. And we'd get Mac back.
Its just not plausible. Almost as unlikely as even getting Lewis. But it is the offseason (for us anyways) and since we are bored lets have some fun. McGrady for a sign and traded PJ Brown. He would have to be resigned at a ridiculously high 1yr contract but its the only way to make it work. Chicago would also include Duhon their 1st rounder and Thomas. Gordon is also probably pryable. BTW: I in no way support shopping McGrady. I am just bored! College football cant get here soon enough.
Umm...no. They are not identical and such a move would be terrible for us...I want to go through and explain why, but I don't think it's really necessary b/c I think it's an obvious answer.
I said stat wise. Tracy McGrady #1 2006-07 Statistics PPG 25.3 RPG 5.90 APG 7.3 EFF + 21.00 Born: May 24, 1979 Height: 6-8 Weight: 223 lbs. High School : Mount Zion Christian Acad. HS (NC) Years Pro: 9 Rashard Lewis #7 Forward 2006-07 Statistics PPG 22.4 RPG 6.60 APG 2.4 EFF + 21.33 Born: Aug 8, 1979 Height: 6-10 / 2,08 Weight: 230 lbs. / 104,3 kg.

Go back and read my original post. All im saying is if TMac could bring us back 2 quality players while we replace most of his production with Lewis (minus4.9APG) wouldnt that be worth trading him. Here maybe if I gave some examples. Bibby and SAR or say Peirce and Green or say 1 of Kirk Hinrich or Duhon and P.J. Brown and Gordon or say Richard Hamilton and Tayshaun Prince or say Troy Murphy and Jamaal Tinsley or say Pau Gasol and Rudy Gay and Damon Stoudamire or say Peja Stojakovic and Tyson Chandler or say Eddy Curry and Quentin Richardson or say Zach Randolph and Brandon Roy. I am not saying I think we are going to do any of these deals or even should. My question from the get go was meant to be - Would we be better of with players we would be able to get for TMac because he is considered so "valuable" since we would be replacing most stats with Lewis. Does that make since or have I been at work too long?
