I could not find a T-Mac thread, and for some reason there was one deleted.
But ESPN Rumors says T-Mac will start playing more minutes and be showcased so teams become interested in trading for him.
He only played 7 minutes last night but had three rebounds and swished a 3 pointer, also missing a shot.
We all know he's talented, and even though he's been injured for the past few years, I think this time his comeback is different. Why? Because he seeked out a different trainer who explained in an article (I'll try to find it) how T-Mac's body was very unbalanced and had a weak core. This whole time he's been rehabbing, he's strengthened his core, back, legs, and overall just kept his body balanced. Well that is what they said and what I believe. So if he's looking fit and healthy and somewhere near the old T-Mac who still draws attention, I think he'd be perfect for us.
Sooner or later we will trade Delonte if he stays unreliable. The Rockets need size for this season and Z will provide that. If we trade Z and Delonte for T-Mac, it'd be like trading expiring contracts for expiring contracts, EXCEPT:
They get rid of T-Mac who they believe will mess up their chemistry. They get back in return a one season replacement for Yao, and a guard who can fit right in if he's healthy and if not, well....they can cut him over the summer, can't they?
Us on the other hand...we hope Powe comes back healthy. But at the same time, we lose an unstable Delonte and we get a proven scorer in T-Mac, someone who can create his own shot and draw attention. Shaq is past his prime, T-Mac would be past his prime, and Mo just isn't a great 2nd option. But all three of them together would cause major problems as they aide LeBron.
On top of all that, we'd finally be stacked on the talent side of things when compared to the Magic, Celtics, Lakers, and Nuggets.
Imagine us vs. Orlando: Shaq vs. Dwight, LeBron vs. Shard, Mo vs. Jameer, and the COUSINS, T-Mac vs. VC. Just sayin'....
I think IF T-Mac comes out looking healthy, we make a serious push for him. Like I said, if he can still draw some attention, create his own shot, and score, he will be very valuable to us, especially come playoff time.
So let's keep an eye on him....
EDIT: This is if an Antawn/David West scenario fails...
