Marbury him I guess. Heck, I don't know. I still think waiving is probably the worst option available to the Rockets.
There were two offers. The original was Billups and Prince for SheMac the other was Wallace and Hamilton The prevailing sentiment was that we shouldn't sell McGrady when his stock was so low... lol
I suppose you were the one possessing the divine intuition that could have predicted McGrady's season would be as disastrous as it was? Forgive the majority of us for thinking adding a healthy Yao, Artest, Barry and Wafer to a team that won 55 games last year wasn't worth messing with like that. Of course, in hindsight you probably feel like a genius now declaring your resentment over the Rockets simply playing the odds and having some reluctance to pay a 36-year-old Billups $14M a year. But hey, hyperbole is fun too.
Why cause Sheed has passed the first round of the playoffs before, he's a big who can play outside and inside and would compliment Yao Ming? he gets technical fouls? who cares.
His contract is still worth something. That is the only reason I wouldn't be in favor of cutting him outright.
Luis Scola is so much better than Sheed it's not even funny. I can't believe you would insult Scola that way.
Want to know how bad the economy is affecting owners? According to what I heard, some teams are literally shopping their 1st round draft picks so they don't have to pay them. The value of an expiring contract could sky-rocket even further next year.
And if we trade him, it's only going to be for a really bad long term deal. Better to take the $20M hit now (like we've been doing already) and get it over with than extend our misery.
Morey would be an absolute fool to give up a 23 million dollar expiring deal. That contract is going to be worth a fortune next trade deadline, trust me. It would be sweet revenge to ship Me-mac's ass off and land a stud.
