    I'm about as sick of these trade threads as it gets.

    That said, there's an ESPN Insider thing on a rumor about T-Mac being on the trade block Pretty sure it's just some random speculation, but I'm still curious to know what that's about.

    why do I get the strange feeling that Tmac is about to pull a kobe and demand a trade? I mean, the dude is smiling when we are losing, I really think he got word from his agent about a possible trade involving him, now he is sticking it to the organization by throwing up chunkers and quitting.

    pippen redue

    Ive always thought tmac was this eras pippen, same voice,same body type,same walk, same shot,same intangibles, same hieght, but not the same defense, but Ive always thought that since pippen quit on the rockets in 99,and tmac quit on the magic in 03,i figured that someday pippen would quit on the rockets also.

    TMAC is like Scottie Pippen, if he didn't have to be the man and could play off another legit superstar he would look great, remember his first game action in Tor when Vince was the man, Tmac was unbelievable but unfortunately we do not have another guy who can lead Tmac by example, Yao just isn't someone who is going to inspire the average NBA player into giving that little extra effort like Jordan could.

    The only realistic TMac trade is that there won't be one.

    The only realistic TMAC trade is one that gets his ass out of town. How can you trust the guy to be the focal point of your team? Even his defenders and supporters are starting to see him for what he is.

    I for one am sick of his act. I'm sick of him loafing on the court, I'm sick of seeing him pout when somebody else shoots and he doesn't feel it was appropriate, I'm sick of seeing him wanting all the attention, I'm sick of him over-exaggerating his "injuries," I'm sick of him not even acknowledging his teammates, and most of all...I'm SICK OF SEEING HIM QUIT ON HIS TEAM.

    I had forgotten all about T-Mac quitting on the Magic. If T-Mac has heard that he might be on the trading block that would explain his game of late. I hope this is not true but past history says other wise.
