    From what I understood the main player who didn't like him was Tru Warrier. He'll get some of his explosiveness back. But more importantly, he can create for others which is something Brooks, Ariza, and Kmart are terrible at. They would benefit a lot playing off Tmac, and Tmac is also better at getting the ball to Yao than anyone currently on our squad. I'd say he's got like 25% chance of being a bust, 60% chance of being a 15-18ppg player with 5-6 rebounds and assists, and a 15% chance of putting up 20ppg.

    When you can get a player for dirt cheap with production like that who is also a really good fit for our roster, you'd be dumb not to. Don't forget that backup SG is a position of NEED right now. Jermaine Taylor is extremely questionable. Hell, Kevin Martin is extremely questionable with his injury history. Are you really telling me you'd rather have Trevor Ariza or Jermaine Taylor start the 20-30 games Kmart will miss instead of Tmac?

    Can you supplement your thorough analysis with a graph of some type? I feel it would help crystallize your excellent analysis.

    Morey needs to hire you.

    I would say the shorter memories are the ones who forget his most recent events with the ROX, which would be best described as cancer. Can't relive the past(his glory days), while forgetting all the bad times, just the same as we can't give him a brain and heart transplant and expect he'll turn back into T-mac. Some things just aren't just a reality.

    Personally I have to look down on the ROX organization if they did even attempt to bring him back. This is one area I wouldn't trust Morey's. judgment on. I don't believe Morey or Les would even consider this a option, and considered it more like suicide.

    As much zs i'd like him back it's just not realistic. That's unfortunate too because it'd be a ''Morey'p type of deal. Low risk, high reward. But the bridge Tracy and Lex once danced on has been burned to a crisp. He s te type of player we coyld use, granted neps healthy but you can't count on that. How many times are we going to get burned before we learn? He's a all timefavorite of mine.

    One of the smoothest, but never had a filter on his mouth. Which i like but isn't good when you're a multi millionaire and a local celeb. Just don't judge his great play by his off court issues. You'll end thinking he's no better than Scottie Pippen's cameo appearence here.

    I waited 3 years for Tracy to get booted out of Houston, no waaaaaay in hell I want him EVER on this team again. He's a waste of our time.

    Is Artest available? I'd take him back at the right price, if he's willing to come off the bench.

    He wouldn't even come back if they wanted him back. Which they don't. Plus we need more size than anything. Unless we get someone like Danny Granger, we're set at the 2-3.
