Rockets trades Tracy McGrady
TO
Hawks for J.Johnson, L.Wright, S. Stoudamire, and S.Jones
Rox P.O.V.
The Rox look to go in a new direction w/o Mac so they go after JJ, who plays the same position Mac does. Although JJ isn't a superstar like Mac is. He still brings the same similaries Mac does from PPG, solid agressiveness, and the capabilities of getting his teammates involve in games. Ren Wright gives the Rox a big body for defense and rebounding purposes to play spot up minutes to rest Mutombo some games from the bench. Stoudamire gives the Rox some offense power from the bench standpoint. Keep in mind that both Wright and Stoudamire have expiring contracts for the Rox to get under the salary cap with. Jones gives the Rox another big body on the bench in case any of the Rox big men go down with an injury.
Although this move would put the Rox over the 15 miminum roster, they would have to waive a few players for this to work. Like the following
Steve Francis- barely plays and Rox can buy him out.
Carl Landry- have expiring contract with les money
Kirk Synder- see above
Salim Stoudamire- would add to Rox logjam in backcourt.
ATL P.O.V.
T' Mac, being a superstar would bring more bodies to Phillips Arena since the Hawks have attendance problems. T'Mac also brings the all around game to the Hawks like scoring, passing to teammates, decent rebounding. He would also make the Hawks a bit better in the case of athleticism.
