    Rodney Stuckey back in the lineup as the starting PG on Saturday vs. Philly. McGrady will be the backup PG, Kuester says. 6 minutes ago via web

    McGrady will probably be traded at the deadline.

    I'm guessing: Utah, Mavericks, or the Bulls.

    Mavericks & Utah = :mad:

    they have a chance to be in the playoffs if they'll allow McGrady to play his game and control the tempo. Right now Stuckey is back on the lineup, Mac minutes will be reduced by their dumb coach and... It's tanking Mac, it's tanking

    Tracy was better than Kobe. It's not my opinion. During 2004-2005 I would have taken McGrady over Kobe. Then there were a few years prior to that where it was really close and you couldn't go wrong with either.

    Tracy was never even better then Vernon Maxwell. Or or off the court.

    In fact if Tmac was on the mid-90's instead of Max we would have lost in the first round.

    I've never watched Vernon Maxwell, but I don't think what you said is true, Maybe I'm just too young to understand

    tmac is not in their future plans. so it's understandable. it doesn't matter if you start or not, it's how many minutes you play and whether you finish games. and i'm sue it will be tmac over stuckey most of the time from now on

    If McGrady is only a one year rental you must think what motive Detroit has for playing him big minutes, its not gonna develop or lead their team anywhere because if McGrady continues to improve theres no way he re-signs with Detroit.

    I hope Detroit trys to trade him to a contending team and just admit all their mistakes since trading Billups and rebuild properly.

    Are you being sarcastic? I love Maxwell but there is no way he was better than T-Mac. That's just blind hate.

    LOL! Of course I'm being sarcastic!

    But I'm willing to bet that there is at least one person in this thread who believes exactly that.

    Pistons know that the better T-mac plays, the less likely they are to keep him next year.

    They are using him as trade bait. He won't be a Piston come March.

    Bulls would be best fit for him. Mavericks are also needing a swingman...

    Man I hope he doesn't end up with Mavs, Jazz, Spers or Fakers. I couldn't cheer for him if he ever landed on any of those four teams. Any other team would be good.

    Hope he goes to the Bulls.

    Bulls & Mavericks make the most sense. Lakers would also be a good fit for him to play pg since it would make it harder for defenses to double Kobe.

    If I were Denver, and I found myself screwed because I waited to long to trade Antony, I may make a play for him.

    I'd rather want him to play with Kidd/Deron Williams/Derrick Rose.

    Really hate the Lakers, plus I want to see him play with a legit PG.

    Bulls is the obvious destination. he is light years better then Krover, Brewer, Bogans so he'll get ton of minutes at the 2 and will make Roses life hell of alot easier. Plus guy like Boozer and Noah will get ton of open looks with tmacs passing ability.
