Hinrich For McGrady Rumor?

[Friend_Of_Haley]

A deal centered around that would be awesome, but I don't see it happening.

Duhon-Gordon
McGrady-Gordon
Deng-Thomas
Smith-Thomas-Noah
Wallace-Gray-Noah

Would be sweet.

[suckfish]

McGrady scares me. His injury problems are worrying, I'm not really interested. That is all.

I probably agree with that. That being said, a perfect player with a perfect record isn't going to get traded. Is this the time to take a chance or is this another Jalen Rose redux? The world may never know.

Keep it clean. Profanity isn't allowed on these boards

But that being said, you don't pass up on a Star like McGrady.. But, i would be weary..

he's not a star anymore. he used to be a star who had no help, but now he's in decline mode and can't get out of the first round to save his life.

[Friend_Of_Haley]

So after playing around:
Hinrich, Nocioni, Thabo, and Wallace
for
McGrady, Alston, James, and Snyder

would work (barely). In other words, theres not a chance in hell this deal would go down. The 2 BYC issue is indeed too much.

[fudgie]

Hinrich and Noc are both BYC so whoever came up with this rumor doesn't know what they're talking about because it's virtually impossible to trade them together.

However, if we can get McGrady for a deal in which Hinrich is the centerpiece then that's a deal I would be all for doing. McGrady is still good enough to be a legit first option in the league and with Gordon and Deng as the second and third options on offense we might be able to make some noise in the playoffs.

Doesn't seem likely to happen because Houston would want significantly more than Hinrich.

McGrady scares me. His injury problems are worrying, I'm not really interested. That is all.

he's never been past the first round in any playoffs

yet, i would take him ONLY if Wallace leaves in the deal

After the alleged Hinrich + Nocioni for McGrady trade:

Point Guards: Rafer Alston, Mike James, Aaron Brooks, Steve Francis, Kirk Hinrich & Luther Head

The last thing Houston needs is another point guard.

Skiles could make that lineup work.

[dougthonus]

I'm not a big McGrady guy, but I'd go for this deal if it was Hinrich + Nocioni (would have to be in the off season) or Hinrich + Wallace.

Losing Wallace or Nocioni would not be a negative to this franchise. I know McGrady is hurt a lot, and his issues do seem chronic, but he's only got 2 more years after this one. You're not giving up an irreplaceable player in Hinrich, and losing one of the other guys would just create the room we need in the front court to help give our young guys minutes.

McGrady would really ease the pressure on Gordon by helping to create double teams and probably get him a lot of open looks. He can also draw fouls and become a goto player to an extent.

While McGrady has never gotten out of the first round, it was McGrady + Crap in Orlando, and Houston plays in the west where they've had to go up against awesome teams in the first round. If he was on the Bulls as constructed and healthy come play off time, then it's more or less a lock that we'd move on IMO.

You'd be 'wary', but it's true that McGrady would eventually make you 'weary'

[Bull Shak]

I found Hinrich, Nocioni, Smith, and Curry for T-Mac, Snyder, and head.

Trading Hinrich for McGrady, then getting some Head out of the deal sounds good.

PG-Kirk Hinrich
SG-Shane Battier
SF-Andres Nocioni
PF-Joe Smith
C- Yao Ming

Rebuilds their starting lineup a ton.

Gives us 4 main bigs in Tyrus, Noah, Gray, and Wallace. It'd be wise to bring in Webber.

No, I was watching PTI and he did mention it. Just a stupid rumor though.

The same crap Sam Smith started.

That trade doesn't work on trade checker.

[girlygirl]

This deal was another Sam Smith suggestion...that's how the rumor got started.

[antemiogordon]

TMac gets injured almost every season.

almost every week

I forgot Thabo on the Bulls side.

Then it works, and Houston gets their Thabo.

PG-Chris Duhon/Luther Head
SG-Tracy McGriddle/Ben Gordon
SF-Luol Deng/Kirk Snyder Pretzels
PF-Ben Wallace/Tyrus Thomas
C- Aaron Gray/Joakim Noah

Like I said, I'm uneasy with the 3 youngings being 75% of our frontcourt. I'd look to bring in a vet like Webber for the rest of the year if we made this trade.

[Sonny_D1]

A few big ifs, but IF the Rockets want to move T-Mac and IF they're willing to take back Wallace, and IF the Bulls are willing to take back some wasted filler, then the following deal works:

Wallace, Hinrich, and Noc
McGrady, Scola, Mike James, Head

Personally I think both Wallace and Kirk would thrive playing alongside a big in Ming.

BG/Duhon
McGrady/Head
Deng/Sefolosha
TT/Scola
Noah/Smith/Gray

Kirk/Alston
Wells/Francis
Battier/Noc
Wallace/Hayes
Ming/Mutombo

Even if T-Mac only gives us 60 games per year, I'd still do this deal as it opens up our frontcourt giving us a nice 4 man rotation in Deng/TT/Scola/Noah with Smith and Gray filling in spot minutes.

[VinTheBarber]

if that deal happened i would loveeeee this team so much more!!

Please stop torturing me.

I think Houston may seriously consider such a deal. Problem is the Bulls may not offer it up. I think they would like the fact that Yao and Wallace would be really tough to drive to the basket on.
