T-Mac Update (and trade updates)

The last few hours I have read several things pertaining from T-Mac.

First (http://www.realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives/63987/20100112/rockets_like_t_mac_deals_with_wizards_bulls/)


The Rockets are in discussions with several clubs about Tracy McGrady, and sources say two of the teams near the top of their wish list are Washington and Chicago.

The Wizards could have McGrady for a deal featuring Caron Butler and some expiring contracts, perhaps Mike Miller and Randy Foye.

Chicago, which has definite interest in McGrady, also has the combination of young talent and expiring contracts the Rockets are looking for.

Second (http://www.realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives/63989/20100112/sixers_consider_iguodala_for_t_mac_trade/)

Sources tell ESPN that the Sixers have not completely ruled out a Tracy McGrady-for-Andre Iguodala deal. The Sixers are contemplating a fire sale if their losing persists.

Talks between the two teams have taken place but they have not reached the serious stage. Philadelphia hinted at a package of Iguodala and Samuel Dalembert for McGrady.

And now from me

Those 2 stories we sorta new about. We have also heard about Morey liking Bosh and rumors about a Bosh deal. Also I read earlier that so far 7 teams have made proposals to the Rockets. Also read the Rockets want young players from the knicks like Douglas or Hill (Rookies I believe).

(From Rotoworld.com)

According to Rockets GM Daryl Morey, the Knicks aren't likely to land Tracy McGrady in a trade.

"There might not be a fit with New York because their goals don't necessarily meet our goals," Morey said. Essentially, the Rockets want young players that the Knicks aren't willing to give up for T-Mac. Seven teams have already made proposals to Houston but a deal may not get finished until the deadline.

And from (http://www.realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives/63958/20100111/rockets_want_hill_or_douglas_from_knicks_for_t_mac/)

A source told Marc Berman that the Rockets' GM Daryl Morey is interested in either of the Knicks' two rookie draft picks -- Jordan Hill or Toney Douglas -- in exchange for Tracy McGrady.

But Morey indicated that it could be difficult to find a match between the two teams.

"There might not be a fit with New York because their goals don't necessarily meet our goals," Morey said. "I think they like him but there's an issue of fit."

And now about T-Mac himself.

(http://www.realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives/63995/20100112/trainer_says_mcgrady_is_ready_to_go/)

Tim Grover says that Tracy McGrady, who he has been working out with as of late, is ready to contribute to an NBA team.

"One-hundred percent ready to go and he's been ready," the trainer told The New York Post. "No limitations, no anything."

Grover has been working out with McGrady since Christmas. The star is coming back from microfracture knee surgery and the Rockets have been shopping his $23 million expiring contract.

"Any team who wants to come down to Chicago, to come look at it, I don't pull any punches," said Grover. "Put him through anything they want him to put him through. Whether it's a trade or buyout, he's ready to go."

 

So there you have a little T-Mac update. Feel free to add in anything.

No cursing in title. No pirated material, such as links to online game streams. Do not cut/paste entire sections of content from other websites. Thanks.

Great update on Tmac

Great update on all the information that has come out the past couple of days. I would like the Wizads proposal better if they would include Brenden Haywood’s expiring contract with Butler(who is such a duplicate of Ariza). Haywood would give the needed size the rest of this season, and a chance for us to sign and trade him this summer if he didn’t want to stay has Yao’s backup. I’m not thrilled with Butler, Miller, and Foye, as they are all duplications of everything we already have. The Philly trade for Iggy and Dalembert is a great fit for the Rockets if Philly is ready to have a fire sale, but that won’t be closer to the deadline. Another interting option is seeing how Kevin Martin comes back with Sactown. I think he is ultimately the best fit as a 2 guard, with Ariza at the 3, and Battier coming off the bench. Adelman would certainly know him well. I’m sure Morey is going to wait until the last day of the trade deadline to keep the bids coming in and making sure he gets the best deal for the Rockets!!!

Don’t be surprised if…

… the Rockets pull the trigger on a deal with the Wizards.

Houston has like Randy Foye for a long time. They had wanted to draft him but he was taken before they could get him. And it’s been rumored they’ve tried to trade for him a few times since…

I had to stop arguing with drunks, Steeler fans, and all other fools.
It was making my brick wall jealous...
