    If it wasn't conditional and we were in position to land D. Rose I would probably do it. Depending on how McGrady finishes out this year.

    I am enough of it, why we must trade him? May be now we look good, but without superstar we will never be a championship

    If the Rockets trade T-Mac for anything less than a package centered around Luol Deng, then Morey should be fired.

    Yeah, an unconditional first rounder this year seems appropriate. Remember, also, that this year's draft has depth at pg and also some viable big men. Not only rose but mayo and bayless, collison.

    :eek: my god, this one is even worse than the Bucks trade.

    good news is : this is the bottom line of all stupid TMAC trade threads, hopefully.

    The Rockets are currently around $13M over the cap. So, if you free up $9M in cap space with your proposed deal, we're still $5M over the cap. So, how does this enable us to sign any free agents next year? We'd still be over the cap and have the same exact options that we have right now.

    Believe me, if Tmac gets traded, you guys will not be happy with what we get in return. At best we'll be able to get a ray allen, richard jefferson level talent, in other words an overpaid, aging star/superstar. Macs value is nowhere near what many think it is on this forum.

    It's not about being a better team or winning - for many here it's about finally making it Yao's team.

    We can trade with the Knicks. We always get their washed up players and Has-Been coaches anyways.

    That's exactly what I was thinking.

    It's funny as hell that the op can't see why he's being bashed when he is proposing a deal that gives us 2 bench players that may or may not ever see time, a 9 million dollar expiring that does not help Houston, and a 1st rounder where we have no idea what we would be getting.

    Give me a break.

    What I am trying to figure out is how you know what the cap will be next year?

    I guess you've never heard of the luxury cap?

    Tracy Mcgrady was a first round pick at one time. Actually, every player at one time or another was drafted or picked up after the draft. Ummmm.

    Tracy Mcgrady is currently an 18 million dollar bench player. :)

    I think maybe the 1956 FORT WAYNE ZOLLNER PISTONS would be willing to do a trade, maybe like this:


    1956 Fort Wayne Zollner Pistons receive:
    Tracy McGrady
    Brad Newley
    +cash considerations

    2008 Houston Rockets receive:
    George Yardley
    Gene Shue

    Change in Team Outlook: +3.6 ppg, +1.7 rpg, and +3.4 apg.

    TRADE ACCEPTED

    also, I think we could get some of those new push-up thingies, you know those things that twist when you push up, in the deal for each and every one of us on this site and then we will be voted 'BASKETBALL SITE WITH THE MOST AWESOME PECTORAL MUSCLES' and when I walk out to accept the award I will be attacked by crazed naked women who will tear me limb from limb and each will go home with a piece of my body and preserve it in LuciteĀ® blocks and, for the next 3 centuries, pilgrims will travel to their homes to worship my preserved body parts (my penis will require the largest block and will be stationed in the nation's capitol, eventually becoming a more popular tourist destination than the Washington Monument), but at the end of 3 centuries a descendent of Tracy McGrady (12 year-old Louis Kelvin Cato McGrady Jr.) will steal all the LuciteĀ® blocks and carefully reassemble them and then, like VOLTRON, all my parts will rejoin and I will lead all the humans left on earth into HEAVEN where we will drink some beer and get bored and then get into fights with angels.

    I think this is a pretty good trade.

    what the OP's trade idea is basically saying is start over. cause none of those players he mentioned can help us get a ring. and a team with just Yao cannot really lead us to a champioship either.

    sorry but I haven't given up on Tmac just yet.

    why do you have to be so selfish? can't you just be happy for the 1956 FORT WAYNE ZOLLNER PISTONS returning from the grave?
