    Yes even close. T-Mac simply never had good teammates. Either a hobbled Grant Hill or hobbled Yao Ming. Give T-Mac Harden and Westbrook and he would've easily won it all. You're too young to remember the guy very well so I get it.

    T-Mac had a healthy Yao for years and Scola... In OKC Durant got froze out by Westbrook, so idk how having Russ helped Durant. T-Mac was always very inefficient, injury prone, and not the defender Durant is now.

    Ive watched McGrady, so shut up with the I'm too young BS. With that logic, you're too old for 90% of the things you say.

    Sorry. You have no idea what you're talking about. McGrady and Yao only played one season in which both players played 70+ games. McGrady, Yao, and Scola never played a healthy season together. How am I too old to see players play?? You need to sit down and relax. You saw McGrady's best years as a child.

    T-Mac was a baller.
    However he would've have won it all even if his teammates weren't ever hurt.
    He was not getting past the Spurs, or the Lakers after they traded for Gasol.

    It just wasn't going to happen, he was never healthy enough... Nor was he efficient enough... Especially in his years in Houston.
    Lets just ignore his Orlando days. They weren't going to get past Shaq & Kobe. Nor would they have got past the Pistons...
    Tmacs best chance was to stay in Toronto and play with his cousin.

    I feel like I'm missing part of the T-Mac discussion I inadvertently started?
    T-Mac was pretty awesome - just not Jordan-awesome. Durant is pretty awesome - just not LBJ-awesome. Elite players, but not the best of their generation.

    That's the best way for a Fultz team to win. And by win, I mean one game over .500

    The weird thing with Ainge trades, it's usually quite obvious he's coming out way ahead. It's not like you only see the error of the other team's ways with the benefit of hindsight. Does he secretly hypnotize other GMs??

    Joe Johnson is gonna sign with the Rockets, they may actually have enough to beat the Warriors if they stay healthy.

    I thought Cavs were clear winners in the Irving trade...

    That was a huge reach and they actually traded no. 8 to be able to get him at no. 13. Still I find it baffling that they are giving up on everybody after a short time. It isn't like they need a roster spot and who knows, maybe that guy becomes decent eventually.
