TJ was a moron when he was here. I don't know why people thought it would be different there. He will get traded and be fine for a year or two at the next place and once that honeymoon is over, he will go back to acting like an idiot at the next place. Thats provided he is able to play long enough without getting hurt again.

The CV/TJ trade looked great, then looked horrible, now is just looking good from the Bucks standpoint. It will be interesting to see what they do get for TJ if they move him this offseason.

Nice.

I can't believe TJ has fallen so far out of favor in Toronto.

That happened because he was "frustrated".

If he is that frustrated on a team above .500, imagine if he were still on the Bucks.

What? If he were still on the Bucks we'd be a playoff team right now, quite possibly a 50 win team. At least according to some on here.

I forgot about that.

I guess in retrospect this was the perfect trade.....totally even....

Two weeks ago I lament the deal and CV goes out to average basically 24/10 over five games......then he lays a stinker the other night.

TJ looks good but then has his "issues"....

Both guys are crazy talented and are major headcases......

The difference being Toronto is on the hook for another 3 years/$25 million. It will be interesting to see how CV's contract plays out.

I don't think CV is a major headcase, he's just lazy as hell. TJ just thinks he's a lot better than he is.

Hollinger had this one in his chat:

Matt (Toronto): TJ Ford is an absolute mess right now, and it seems to be contagious with the way the rest of the team is playing. Is he moveable this summer? It seems like it would be best for both sides.

John Hollinger: (3:16 PM ET ) Certainly he isn't responding well to the idea of coming off the bench, and it does seems that paying to keep two PGs of this quality isn't the best way to maximize their resources. I'm guessing the late swoon increases the Raps' odds of dealing one or the other this summer.

About time you applied some of your limited basketball knowledge.

Bucks fans are a joke, just like their team without a PG like TJ Ford. I don't know why yall hate TJ. TJ is the only player on our team(besides injured Bosh) that shows any emotion. He is going through a tough year but he is still young. He is the PG of the future, don't listen to when the Jose lovers and TJ haters say, he hasn't fallen out of favor with anybody....

TJ Ford in year 1 with the Bucks was a FAR cry from TJ Ford in year 2 with the Bucks. He became a much worse person and player.

Seems like he's following the trend in stop #2. He's like Sam Cassell except less talented and with a shorter shelf life.

Check the Raps record in games that he's played this year vs. those that he missed. His mere presence on the team is a detriment. Just another "impact" that he's had on a playoff team.

The worst part about that youtube click is that he blatantly pushed off.
