“Wow. I never thought I would be in the majority anywhere in Wisconsin. What’s it like being in the minority you stupid caucasian?”

So someone’s not going to trade McGrady for Dwight because Yao is there?

That’s insanity.

Here me out Nick

I know that Sampson/Oljuwon and Duncan/Robinson were great as Twin Towers. But I just don’t see how it works in the “new” NBA. It’s a guards league, and you can have 2 GREAT post players like that, but how do you stop running teams like New Orleans? Every team would just run us up and down the court. Plus there would be no pieces around the two post players because they would eat up so much of your cap that you would not have very good players around them.

That’s all I’m trying to say. If you still think I’m off my rocker, please explain a bit, just so I can see the error in my ways.

Also, forgive my miscalculation of CP3 and D-Wade. Complete brain fart on my part, how dare I. They wanted to Draft Roy when they took Rudy Gay and traded him for Battier, but it wasn’t in the cards. No way they would trade T-Mac for Roy. . . then again, Portland does have the parts to make something work. Roy and a SF & PG (since no one on that team has a big contract, you need to do this to make the numbers work) and some picks swapping hands(since Portland has 33 picks ever draft) and there could be a *potential* deal. I still wouldn’t hold my breath for it.

I think Carmelo-T-Mac trade would result in a fan uprising from all Rockets fans. I would hate that trade. They are basically the same player, but T-Mac does better (not great) on D and rebounds and passes better.

Durant is still to young. Plus it would not make sense for OKC to take on T-Mac; they are clearly building around KD.

McGrady is 29… a very old 29 for NBA purposes… with a bad back. He never gets “serious” injuries – always non-surgical injuries that appear every January/February. And he’s never proven to be clutch.

Why the hell would Dumars trade for him. That would be the “lateral” move he’s trying to avoid.

The worst part is that I really do want to like T-Mac. He’s easily a top 5 offensive player in the league and has passing skills matched only by LeBron (i.e., able to see over the defense from everywhere on the court). He just turns into Shaq and blames everyone for everything when things aren’t going well.

That said: the year Yao and T-Mac are healthy is the year they shock everyone and make a deep run in the playoffs. That will be 2009.

That’s insanity.

that is funny
