I find it very hard to believe that the Bulls could get McGrady for only Wallace and Tyrus.

But hey, if Houston wants to let us sodomize them, who am I to say no.

A couple of weeks ago I was watching a Houston game and at half time and Charles Barkley said that Houston seems to play better when either McGrady or Yao is out of the lineup or in other words Yao and McGrady aren

Well if true, the only real concerns would be McGrady's health and him saying he's retiring at the end of his contract(2 more years).

If true... good luck Tyrus... and if we move Hinrich or Gordon... you definitely trade... HINRICH! Gordon instantly goes to PG because you allow McGrady to handle the ball under pressure which Gordon seems to suck at.

I know I haven't been on these boards for long, but I think Gordon would do very well as a PG with a guy who could handle the rock under pressure for him like Kobe, Wade, McGrady, Lebrong and so on...

I don't believe it at all either just showing it since there another saying he "heard" it on the radio the same exact trade.

I heard it as well over the radio. But is was on 103.5FM (for those in chicago area) from a random caller. The caller didn't want to believe it either, but he inform the host that his father called him with the information.

The radio host replied "You better be right"

Im eagerly awaiting for confirmation on whether its bogus or even has the slightest hint of truth. But it seems like this person is running with the rumour that Chicago had talks with Houston about Tmac and just took it a step further..

... but anything is possible. If this happens then it would be one of the rarest of times where we wouldn't be getting the short end of the stick in a trade.
Why so serious?

There is absolutely no way this rumor is true.

For everyones sake lets hope this doesn't go past page 6.

Has it really come to this? I mean....KISS FM???? This has gotta be an all time low for us. The fact that I can actually submit this post is incredible in itself.

This is KissFM we're talking about. I'm not buying it at all until I hear it form a legitimate source, MTV for example :D

All I can say is I hope it's true.

But it probably isn't.

Daryl Morey (Houston's GM) does not have a deathwish, and in fact likes his job, his pay, and his life. He also is not a moron. This thread is BS, and we ALL know it. Realistically, you all know that NO ONE, and I mean NO ONE want Ben Wallace's contract, much less for anything useful. That makes a trade for a superstar for Chicago difficult already, as they don't have any other large contracts to include in a trade.

Add in the fact that practically all of their players are underperforming badly and thus lowering their trade value and this rumor isn't even REMOTELY close to what Houston would be willing to trade McGrady for. I mean not even in the same ballpark. I mean out of the stadium, down the street, onto the bridge, and immediate suicide into the water. Yeah.

SHORT VERSION: It's BS.

Gee, thanks captain obvious. I really appreciate you stopping by to provide us with info that nobody here has picked up on yet. Have a safe trip back over to the Houston board.
