Well Iceburg Slim summed it up best in his post, kblo247 you make an excellent argument for T-Mac but it's just too risky to try. But at the same time I'm not picky and I don't think we as fans can be that picky either.
If T-Mac was the only thing left and he agreed to play a minimal role then it's worth a shot. The way I see it hell he wouldn't be as bad as Kapono or Murphy. At least he'll have some hot flash in the pan moments, Jason and Troy was just breathing the extra air in Staples most nights.

Re: What about T-Mac
I also want to add that T-Mac had already made a deal for the vet min to be Dengs backup in Chicago. The Bulls though screwed the pooch as they couldn't and can't make anymore deals with their cap situation once they used the BAE on Bellinelli.
They inked Nate, then Marco officially and now can't make any moves under the CBA

Re: What about T-Mac
He can't be worse than Duhon and, oh God, Blake. And surelly he must be and upgrade over Ebanks. He still has the vision and his playmaking ability along side with his 3 pointer would make it low risk, high reward.

Re: What about T-Mac
So.. Assuming these are rotations of LakeShow if we sign T-Mac
PG: Nash (31 min), T-Mac (17 at PG)
SG: Kobe (38), T-Mac (10 at SG, 27 with SG and PG)
SF: Metta (33), Jamison(15 at SF)
PF: Pau (37), Jamison (6 at PF, 21 with SF and PF), Hill (5 at PF)
C: Dwight(38), Hill (10 at C)
I'd be more than happy with this.
PG: Nash (31 min), T-Mac (17 at PG)

Re: What about T-Mac
We don't need a player like TMac.
Only positive thing he brings is offense, and he's not even close to what he used to be with his shooting and offense.
Our team does not need more offense.
We need hustle guys, guys who'll dive for loose balls, take charges, make a hard foul when needed.
We need people who will helps us get the "50-50" balls.
We have plenty of big names and talent, but that alone doesn't win rings.
Therefore, I would prefer to fill out our roster with someone who doesn't care about how many shots he gets, but someone who is willing to sacrifice for the team.
