Thank you for being open minded... VC gives us what tmac does but attacks the bucket more and stromile is a big body one year rental and i would trade scola for yi in a heart beat
look, I can understand people wanting to get rid of TMac, but this trade is laughable. Please tell me the OP is from China
Good trade idea. We dont have what it takes really to be a championship team if Tracy doesn't play consistently. Morey even said it, he probably will struggle with his knee the whole year and if that's the case then we aren't going to do much in the playoffs when teams really start playing lockdown defence. He just disappears way to often in games and when he has good games its usually from hot streaks, not him imposing his will. This is the main problem on the team, even more than our PG issue but many people refuse to admit it. What's da good in a "superstar scorer" if he can get it done night in night out? We lost this game cause for our lack of offense but I have to give it to Aaron Brooks. With a bad shooting night, he still managed to get 14 pts and led the team in assist and REBOUNDS! Also props to Artest for getting on off his shooting slump finally.
If Yi is ever a starter on the Rockets I will shoot myself once again, I laugh at this knee-jerk proposal
why would the nets do this........they'll be way under the cap come 2010 anyway, and carter's a lot more dependable than tmac these days.
when t-mac has a bad game, all of u says trade him, when t-mac has a good game, all the t-mac haters suddenly dissappears...... PLEASE make make ur damn mind whether u love or hate t-mac
Vince > Tmac why? He has a much more consistent jumper (mainly from the 3pt line) and still has the ability to get to the basket and finish with a dunk better than most guards in the league. If this trade were to somehow happen. We would get Vince Carter, which to me, he's a more consistent scorer then his cousin Tracy and Yi which he's a great up and coming player and a teammate of Yao in the CNT. Lineup... Alston/Brooks Carter/Barry/Head Artest/Battier Landry/Yi/Chuck Yao/Deke Who else can we get for Tmac? Getting someone like Kobe, Lebron, or Wade for Tracy is out of the question so it looks pretty good to me. NJ gets Tmac with a contract that expires in 2010 much which gives them more cap space to sign Lebron much like the A.I and Billups trade. Fair Trade...
Shoulda done the Detroit Rumors back in the days. Chauncey/Rasheed for T-GIMP. Woulda been sweeeeeeeeeeeet
it's carter and harris and a bunch of nobodies, they're already going to surround lebron with more lottery picks as is
Regarding this trade: I dont think we need vince or yi for this team to be able to win a championship. We need a true PG. A PG that can defend, shoot, and create shots for others (yao and ron) aka Chauncey Billups (one of the rare breed PGs in the league). Vince will not do much better than Tmac on this team and Yi = Total Bust. We need a true PG and a taller PF to backup Yao on the inside. AB is good, but he is more of a SG stuck in a tiny PG body. That will be no good. He is a great as a scoring spark off the bench. Scola and Landry are great players. I am not taking nothing away from them, but they are way undersized. Come playoff time, Gasol, Duncan, and even David West will rock them everytime. Who can we deal with?
TMAC is the softest "star" player in the NBA. If anything Yi = TMAC in toughness, and that's not a compliment.
Unless we're in the eighth or under seed at the half-season mark, there is no way that management will break up the big three experiement. However, the trade is very sound. Carter may be a dog, but he's shown to possess desire on a winning team, especially one where he's among a series of superstars. He will score 20+ a game every night, opposed to T-MAc's once-in-awhile 30 point explosion. The Yi trade is weak, but at least it's good marketing. Scola is a more solid player than Yi.
