Haha that's a cheap shot!

"I spoke with McGrady earlier [3 months ago? Was it even about this topic or something else?]. His basic thing is that he's very happy in Houston, but he wants to win."

[McGrady, 'No, I wouldn''t encourage a trade <(sic) to Detroit>. I'm happy in Houston. I like winning here']
[Stephen A, 'Houston is a perennial </b/b/b/b/b/b/bEVERY YEARS> loser.']
[Stephen A, 'He definitely wants out of Houston.']
[Stephen A, 'Controversy! Ratings! Money! Men! Erm, I mean women. Ahem.']
[Stephen A, 'I LIKE CHEESE DOODLES BECAUSE THEY LOOK LIKE.. BECAUSE THEY ARE DELICIOUS.']

Almost guaranteed the first sample sentence from McGrady some time ago is all that was ever said, and maybe not even to Stephen A (he never says that any of his conclusions actually derived from talking with McGrady in any way - meanwhile I've heard McGrady say things almost exactly to that tune on the local news to help quell trade rumors with fans). It's easy to twist facts. Keep this in mind if you ever see me ranting about a corporate news outlet - if THE AMAZING SAS can twist facts to mislead that easily, how well could someone with half a brain do it?

Maybe we could get the taco bell chihuahua to kick him in the balls.

P.s. Not that I liked Al Gore, but read up on how his "I invented the internet" "quote" came into being. I'll give you a hint, he never said it.
Morey 2020.

I'm not a big Billups fan. But I like Prince, hamilton and Rasheed Wallace . I'd do a Rip/Sheed or a Prince/Sheed trade for T-Mac for alot of reasons

Since when does sombody asking you would you mind playing for the Pistons and you respond with "I just want to win" mean that you wouldn't mind being traded to said team. Especially when you also say that you are "very happy in Houston"

This is nothing more than old news rehashed and passed off as new news by a guy obviously twisting a comment to suit his own purposes. This would have been real news had the response been something along the lines of, yeah I wouldn't mind playing for the Pistons. Instead we get twisted words. No need for a new thread here...same old crap with a little cheese doodle sprinkled on top for added flavor.

LOL! Damn you...I was in the process of fixing that when you quoted me. My Laptop is down until Thursday when Comcast comes back out to fix my RoadRunner service. Lightning zapped something pretty bad apparently. I'm posting from my phone and I have a new Instinct phone with the touch screen and I'm used to my Treo. Wow, that was brutal. : )
