[spin] What possible teams would be willing ?to trade for Tmac

What possible teams would be willing to trade for Tmac?

I am going to throw out Miami.

Okay guys, this is an outsider, trying to find a trade that I think would be interesting for the rockets and the other team. I think Miami is a good partner for the rockets to trade with.

To Miami for:
Daequan Cook
Mark Blount
Jason Williams

first round pick (top 10 conditional but this year only)



The reason I think this trade could be viable is that miami is desperately looking for a third wheel and might be willing to roll the dice with shaq having 2 more years under contract. They are not sacrificing a whole lot to make this deal, in a sense they are. They are essentially going to pay 11 million to get tmac for 2 years, which is the difference between Mark Blounts contract.

The Rockets will get about 9 million in cap relief, a good young player to replace tmac in Cook and an extra first round pick, which could turn into something down the line if the tmac experience doesn't work out.

 

Jason williams is 9 million or so in cap relief, so that the rockets can get a player in free agency next year. Cook is a very promising shooting guard and an extra first round pick is always good. You never know what you'll get.

Mark Blount is a miami condition. They have to get rid of a bad contract and this would be a perfect way to unload blount. All in all a fair deal.

 

Not really man. Tmac is a financial burden on teams. He makes near max money and yet he plays maybe half of a season. Who knows if he'll be a round for the playoffs? Why would a team give up a premium for a player like this?

But maybe I am just not seeing what you all see. I mean, I don't see yall being able to win the championship even if he is healthy. I dunno man. I say that added some pieces toward a championship is better than the hope and prayer that tmac stays healthy.

I mean do you think that tmac and a healthy squad of rockets can win it all?

 

The reason there are so many tmac trade scenarios is because some people feel the rockets need to make a change, that this thing isn't working.

Instead of berating a poster because he posts a trade, think about why they are making it first of all.

I believe that you and a lot of others in this thread see Tmac through blinders. You seem to also have the assumption that the team who gets the best player in a deal always wins.

There are many trades where the team trading away the best player loses, sometimes in a big way.

Take the rockets trading 3 first rounders for what was perceived the best player Eddie Griffin. The dallas cowboys trading Hershel Walker, was, at the time, seen as the worst move ever in football. Walker, at the time, was like Hakeem in his prime. the LT trade. The Bagwell trade. We could go on and on. Sometimes addition by subtraction.

 

Daequan Cook is a nice young player that has a real future in the league. You also get a first round pick.

Listen, 18 million dollars to sit on the bench half the year? This doesn't make any practical sense. That is a hell of a lot of money for an injury waiting to happen.

I'll pass on tmac, yall can keep him for 18 million dollars.
