    And I think you are better than to write a guy off before you see what he has left and how he can contribute, especially when apparently peanuts are the alternative.

    Grant Hill is an example of a guy who "got out and ran" after a major surgery, Arenas, while not old, has had crazy work done and he looks pretty good out there. Isnt the ideal scenario, cap wise for the Rockets, for Tmac to return and be effective?

    Ive seen the current Rockets and its fun to watch, but I see TONS of similarities in the way Trevor Ariza is utilized and how McGrady was. To me, Trevor is looking like a volume shooter and a "heat checker", just as much as McGrady did. The difference is we can rely on McGrady to atleast get a shot off in the final minutes of a close game.

    Don't mind him flip flopping in that case because Tmac would be beasting it.

    DD if Tmac comes back and puts up some numbers and fits the team and does great things for the rockets what will you say then. Right now will have no idea what is gna happen when he comes back so how are u right?

    He has a chance to make this team a contending team and that is just my opinion. For the people who are bashing Tmac its gna be a joy to see u hop on the bandwagon wen he comes back. Just my opinion...

    I will cheer for anything that helps the Rockets, and I know, Tmac leaving does just that.

    ...Though for many newbies "prior" may be more apropo.

    Trust me, while I can't spell well in trivia, sometimes doing something and hiding it in plain sight is more fun.

    Unfortunately they will all be an "odd man out". Ariza will lose shots, buddinger will lose playing time, and regardless battier is a very unselfish player so it doesnt really matter whether he loses shots or not.

    I agree with you, but it all comes down to the coach. I think one of the guards will get there minutes reduced.

    I looked at all the teams that the Rockets could realistically trade with and the players that "might" be available some of them are untouchable but I will throw their names in there anyway for the sake of conversation. I have narrowed it down to the following teams and players the Rockets would be interested in:

    Charlotte: Gerald Wallace
    Chicago: Luol Deng
    Detroit: Tayshaun Prince / Richard Hamilton
    Golden State: Monta Ellis
    Indiana: Danny Granger
    L.A. Clippers: Marcus Camby
    New Orleans: Chris Paul (No Chance, Gotta Wish)
    New York: Can't Think of Anyone
    Philadelphia: Andre Iguodala
    Sacramento: Kevin Martin
    Washington: Gilbert Arenas / Caron Butler / Antawn Jamison

    If you had to pick one option, which would you choose? Chris Paul is obvious but most doubtful, maybe I should have left that one off.
