That would be a stupid move to give away your starter. Duhon is quite good actually. He would be an amazing backup.. Former dukie so I won't turnon him

If the Knicks traded for Mcgrady, would they be the first team in NBA history to have two of the highest paid inactive players sitting on their roster?

JPZ17, you have won the stupid fan award by having 3 lame posts on 1 page!
Are you that turned on by D'amntoni that he can do no wrong?
you FAILED to get the humor of giving away Duhound for free,
backing him up because he's a Pukie? he's quite good actually?
Mike No-D is our franchise?
Wow! SMH...
You confirmed Anu's point.. do you get it? ... McDoody.

Mike d'antoni said tmac is still one of the best players in the game, and I trust what mike says since he is our franchise. Mike is bigger than walsh

The big question remain unanswered:
Does T-Mac still want to play Basketball?
All the money T-Mac made from 2001 to 2010, plus all the super big endorsements in the USA and China....would u still want to work after u gross close to $250M after a decade of Basketball???
Vince Carter did'nt gross half as much as T-Mac.
Walsh would be a fool to trade for T-Mac, if Eddy Curry is not included in the deal...

i don't remember how much i took, but making a comment like that , i must have ...
tmac is an expiring contract so he's playing for a new one so he will bust his ass for 1....plus if we get tmac, there's really no L to it unless we get a multi year contract back.....and by the i approve getting Tmac 110%..i still think he one of the best when healthy

Is this gaining steam or something? T-Mac to the Knicks "proposed trade" was the headline of Sportscenter.

Rockets Looking long-term in this trade:
Meaning we most likely lose Mr. Jordan Hill in the deal.. or Washington loses a young guy. Houston wants to be younger. Heck I wouldn't mind dealing Wilson Chandler if we can trash one of the contacts for next season.

That's the point.
The Houston Rockets are already paying T-Mac way over half of his pay this season, their team is a playoff team with their highest scorer being their PG-Brooks, they will need other scoring power than Brooks, Ariza, Landry, and Scola, in a playoff series. With a healthy T-Mac at the end of this month why not keep him for a better chance at making it to the 2nd round.
?We don't have a lot of options,? Rockets coach Rick Adelman said. ?We're pretty short-handed at twos and threes.
And T-Mac is a F/G (2 & 3 position).
Which is why I put down the main factor thats been on the Houston Rockets board "do T-Mac still want to play B-Ball?".
Walsh have to make some kind of move by the deadline b/c of 19-32 record. Having Dolans Newspaper and sports writers print Walsh went to Chicago to look at T-Mac personal-training makes a good story to show Walsh is on the job, to either do one or two things.....unload Eddy Curry for expiring contract T-Mac for more 2010 cap space, or to see if T-Mac recovery can boost the Knicks season.
If nothing happens....the press could always say "Donnie Walsh was on the job."...

the rockets want hill, that's what's probably stalling the deal.

Does anybody else feel like we're getting royally srewed on this deal?
Let me get this straight, the Wiz get to dump a ton of salary, the Rockets get All-Star talent and we get an aging star coming off major surgery that hasn't played basketball in a year and we still have to pay $3 mil in cash!?!
And to make things worse, the Rockets have not allowed Donnie or anybody else to view TMac workout and make sure he is in good shape and his knee is still strong.
Does this seem right? It feels like we've suddenly become the desperate team willing to get reamed for a deal.

Report: Tracy McGrady to Knicks in Three-Team Swap?
by Daniel Rathman on Feb 10, 2010 6:29:00 PM
The Houston Rockets are desperate to trade Tracy McGrady before the Feb. 18 NBA trade deadline, and the New York Knicks have emerged as the 30-year-old swingman’s latest suitor.
According to Yahoo Sports, the Rockets are attempting to coordinate a complicated three-way deal that would send McGrady to New York, Al Harrington to the Wizards and Caron Butler to the Rockets. The Wizards would likely be in line to acquire another player or a draft pick as well.
McGrady has not been on the floor for the Rockets since Dec. 23, and he averaged just 3.2 points and 0.8 rebounds in 7:35 per game the six times that coach Rick Adelman played him this season. Now completely outcast from the organization, McGrady is nothing more than a $23 million contract on the books for Houston general manager Daryl Morey, who has been shopping him around recently.
The Knicks are unlikely to reap huge benefits on the court by acquiring McGrady, but his expiring deal would enable them to remain financially flexible in anticipation of this summer’s free-agent bonanza, which includes LeBron James. The 29-year-old Harrington is averaging 17.8 points and 5.6 rebounds in just over 30 minutes per game for coach Mike D'Antoni, and should adequately replace Butler on the 17-33 Wizards, who are far out of contention in the Eastern Conference.
The Wizards would benefit from exporting the 29-year-old Butler -- whose five-year contract expires in 2011 -- if they can gain another player in the deal and possibly a draft pick, in addition to Harrington, to continue their rebuilding process. Butler is averaging 16.9 points and 6.7 rebounds in nearly 40 minutes per game. He is the best player involved in the proposed trade, so the Rockets probably could be convinced to sweeten the Wizards’ end of the swap in order to also rid themselves of McGrady.
Yahoo Sports notes that although there would need to be significantly more pieces in the deal than just the three aforementioned forwards, "there is a framework to the discussions," and talks seem to be progressing.
Can't see how trading one expiring contract for another adds to NY's cap flexibility.
I'd like to see Nate and Harrington for McGrady and Lowry.

Good. F*ck them. Let them buy TMac out and we can get him for the vet min.
That GM is insane. They're getting to much for him as it is. They're getting an All-Star, a center playing the best ball of his career that is an expiring contract and now they want young talent too?!?
Houston is getting way to much as it is in my opinion. TMac is 30 years old, coming off major knee surgery, hasn't played basketball in over a year and nobody is allowed to view his workouts to make sure he can still play.
SMH. What a rip off.
