Who were all the people that were saying they wanted McGrady to sign with the Lakers rather than Cleveland (when it was just a trade between Houston/Sacramento and it was rumored that Sac was going to release him)? Did any of you idiots see the numbers he put up tonight as a starter and in his debut with the Knicks?
Look what he did tonight in his debut for the Knicks vs OKC.....
31mins.....10-17FG....1-3 3FG....5-7FT.....4Rbd....4Asst....3TO....1St.....26Pts
Personally I would've loved to have gotten in on the original Houston/Sac deal. Or even just a straight deal with the Rockets.
Amare/J-Rich for McGrady/Landry/Picks
Crazy that everyone thinks he's washed up. Think had we made a trade of Amare for McGrady, we could've resigned McGrady for about $12-14 and Landry for $8-10mil. So that would've been 2 roster spots that will be at $32Mil, when we probably could've had the 2 spots at $20-24Mil.
What really burns is that New York was able to get him, plus clear enough cap space to add 2 MAX free agents. Yes, McGrady is gonna be a FA as well, but has stated that he's made enough money in his career, that if the Knicks were able to get Lebron/Wade and Bosh/Amare, he'd be willing to take the Mid Level ($5.9mil) or even the Bi-Annual ($1.9mil) to stay in New York to play with them.

Wade (PG)
McGrady (SG)
Chandler (SF)
Gallinari (PF)
Amare (C)
or
House (PG - resigned)
McGrady (SG)
Chandler/Gallinari (SF)
Lebron (PF)
Bosh (C)
the options are ridiculous
Now if the Suns can do a S&T w NY this summer for Amare, that would be great for us in getting a return of Lee and Chandler. We'd stock up at the SF/PF positions with good young assets.
