Half-hearted?

The topic of Tracy McGrady came up in the Pistons' locker room before a game last week. McGrady is now injured and unhappy in Houston. Reports there say he has told friends he wants to be traded -- again.

One player, who shall remain nameless, joked that McGrady was becoming more and more like his cousin, Vince Carter. "They should call Tracy, 'half-man, half a season,'" the player cracked.

I been saying this, Tracy McGriddles, softer then a pancake and easily the most overrated player in basketball. Another career loser (except in the wallet), just like Marbury.

So I guess this means T-Mac is now officially on the Knicks' radar?! :dontknow:

Yea Tracy is so overrated. He has never achieved anything in this league and he never will. He bailed on his cousin because he was jealous, he bailed on the Magic because they were not winning, and now he is faking injuries because he wants out of Houston.

And another player who never got help when he was in his prime, just like Marbury.

If Yao was not help enough to GET OUT THE 1st ROUND, then he honestly sucks

Tmac would be an upagrade at SG for us.

TMac and Artest on the wings with + our #1 pick.

I would do this

Malik + JC for Tmac

we clear Rose and lose a contract year.

However, I would not do this without trading for Artest.

He does have Yao now but back in his old days in orlando and Toronto, he had NOTHING to work with. His biggest star(s) to work with was Vince Carter and Grant Hill and both missed TONS of games with injuries so it was all T-Mac. That Orlando team in 2003-2004..............They lost what? 22 straight games to open up the year after beating the Knicks?

Now the injuries are getting to him more than ever, it began in his final year of Orlando and thus T-Mac doesnt have the burst he once had. He cant go dunking crazily or doing any of that razzle dazzle, he had to mature as a player and quite frankly he did IMO.

Charles Barkley and Patrick Ewing. dont have rings yet Sean Marks has one, it doesnt mean that Marks is anywhere near those two guys levels

T-Mac is a volume shooter

no volume shooter superstar will ever be a great player. he could never compare to Kobe, but the comparisons to VC are right on because they both suck and only became famous because they could dunk.

T-Mac and VC are the same player as J-Rich, except T-mac and VC get all the hype.

If you get T-Mac you need to acquire Artest. To bad we aren't getting him.

Yao is the best Center, the problem is TMac, he is not needed on a team that has Yao. TMac should be replaced with a real shooter, which is what they need around Yao and his excellent playmaking ability coming from his huge height.
