    I think he will be a Magic. I dont see Kobe leaving if L.A. wins the championship (which they look like they will do), and he gets acquitted (which looks good right now with the news that came out of the courtroom yesterday).

    Yeah where T-Mac goes will likely depend on Kobe I dont see Kobe and Tracy on the same team so if Kobe stays with the Lakers than I say T-Mac will either stay with the Magic or go to the Spurs.Lets say Kobe goes to San Antonio,then T-Mac will probally go to LA or stay with Orlando.

    T-Mac says he is going to know what he wants to do in July,his descion is also going to depend on who the Magic draft with the first pick,he said he didnt want to go through a rebounding process so he wants the Magic to draft some one who will give the Magic early contribution, not someone who will take time to grow as a contributor.

    Kobe will probaly leave LA if they win a ring again, he has everything he needs in the N.B.A. now he is just going for the big bucks

    TMac is still young to go and play for another team and play second or third fiddle for somebody else. I don't think he'll leave the Magic for next season. After all, it's still his team. He's just pressuring the Magic in a way for them to get help ASAP.

    I say the Lakers, Rockets, and Magic to a three way deal.

    Lakers send:
    Shaquille O'Neal
    Devean George

    Magic Trade:
    T-Mac
    Drew Gooden
    Ty Lue

    Rockets Trade:
    Steve Francis

    Lakers receive:
    T-Mac

    Magic receive:
    Shaquille
    Steve Francis

    Rockets receive:
    Drew Gooden
    D-George
    Ty Lue


    I wish! It would actually be cool to see this happen!
    Would it work out cap-wise? I just think this would be cool...



    Considering:

    Shaq is getting older and is at the peak of his career
    The Rockets want to rebuild around Yao, and Francis really wants out (Too much losing)
    The Magic will most likely rebuild around Okafer since T-Mac wants out soooo bad!
    D-George and Ty Lue have been players that are still developing... D-George has shown some signs of brilliance as well.
    The Magic can play Okafer as PF and Shaq as C and have a great frontcourt combo
    The Rockets also get Gooden a potential star at the SF/PF spot... Great sidekick for Yao.
    All teams are happy in the end!

    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting TwinTowers:</div><div class="quote_post">Kobe will probaly leave LA if they win a ring again, he has everything he needs in the N.B.A. now he is just going for the big bucks</div>You're right except for one thing... LA is the team that can offer him the biggest contract in the league becuase of the cap rules... LA may be way over the cap, but since it's a soft cap in the NBA, LA can resign all their players no matter what cost.

    Theres no way that the Lakers will trade Shaq, at least not yet.

    Houston would never do that. Ty Lue is not to good, George had had all the time in the world to develop, he is very inconsistent. Kobe and Tmac on a team would be crucial though.

    or how about shipping out Fisher or slava or something? It would be bad a$$ to have Kobe, T-Mac, and possibly KM and GP on the same team!

    That makes no sense. The Lakers can pay him more than any other team in the league.

    T-mac's friend said that t-mac thinks okafor can't give them a big boost.Hopefully that isn't true.I think it would be nice if the magic could do a sign and trade for dampier. Maybe gooden and the 1st for dampier and the 11th pick.The magic could still pick a pg with the 11th pick.

    It really sounds like T-Mac wants to leave.. atleast to me. I really don't know where he might end up but I don't think he'll be in Orlando 2 seasons from now no matter what.

    T-Mac on the Spurs would make that team unstoppable. If they could resign Ginobili, and with T-Mac in their lineup, their team would look like this:

    PG Tony Parker
    SG Manu Ginobili
    SF Tracy McGrady
    PF Tim Duncan
    C Rasho Nesterovich

    With Turkoglu coming off the bench, and Bowen as a defensive specialist off the bench, the team would be unstoppable.

    The whole trading Shaq thing would never happen. He may be getting older, but, he's still the most dominant player in the game. He is still the key part to that team winning a championship.

    Only problem with that is you aren't getting Tmac for free. You would have to give up something for him. Tmac will stay and give his hometown team 1 more chance, IMO. If the Front Office shows enough desire to want to improve and we make the playoffs and have a strong showing(even if we don't make it past the 1st round) then I think he could stay.

    Exactly... The Spurs can't get him without losing Ginobili, Parker, and some other player...
