    where will tmac end up?

    i believe the 4 choices that he made if he were to be traded were the lakers, spurs, suns, rockets.

    of those, i think spurs, suns, rockets have a better chance than the lakers merely because of the assets each has, unless the lakers do a sign and trade with kobe to orlando.

    i would love to see this

    I am pretty sure this will happen in the first week of July. Someone said that the Cuttino and Steve for Tracy and Ty Lue wouldnt work but it will work with throw ins, those 4 are just the major players. If I am the Rockets I have to get a commitment from Tracy, that he will sign an extension. They will also need to make sure they can find a PG because Ty Lue has proven he cant start. As for the Magic they should jump on this deal as soon as they can. They are getting a top 5 PG and a ferocious 2 gurad who can and has shut down Kobe and Tracy. Personally i think this trade should be done. The Rockets are limiting Steve Francis too much , in Orlando he can display all of his skills . Lets face it, Orlando has no structured offense. And i think Tracy could thrive under JVG's structure.

    Will Yao + Tmac work? I wonder... If only Tmac and Yao can develop a Kobe + Shaq relationship minus all the drama.... If Tmac does go to the Rockets let's hope he doesn't ballhog like he did in Orlando and give it up to Yao more often. (No I'm not knocking him for ballhogging in Orlando. He HAD to do it there, but not if he gets dealt to Yao and the Rockets)

    I think he will end up in Orlando, I dont think he wants to leave, I just think that he is sick of losing, and if he were to leave...I think it would be to Phx

    I agree that the Rockets are limiting Francis, Van Gundy's offense basically prohibits penetration from the guards, but he did adjust better than most people think. Everyone's underrating defense and hustle here, BIG TIME, everyone's just talking about offense.

    Rumors at the Toyota Center- Francis, Mo Taylor and possibly Jim Jackson for Tmac and 2 other players.

    that pic was done by someone at clutchfans who gave permission to spread it around. as far as where he will end up, there is alot of chatter here in houston on sportsradio about it. whatever the case, it seems like this is going to be a great summer with alot of activity going on in gm offices around the league.

    Why does everyone think that Tmac is a ballhog? Is it because he avg nearly 30 ppg for 2 consecutive years? If you guys actually watched a Magic game, he should have at least 8-10 apg. It's a shame that no one can hit a wide open mid range jumper or Declerq can't make a layup and Steven Hunter can't stay in bounds. TMAC ISN'T A BALLHOG. If he doesn't stay in Orlando, I think Phoenix would be a very strong possibility for him to go.

    That's what I was thinking. At first I said no, what about Yao. Then I thought what you thought and there in no way they should have that Shaq and Kobe drama. It's not hollywood in Houston.

    23-24 FGAs per game is alot, that's why people say he's ballhogging, which is true but he's doing it because he has to. I don't blame him though since he's clearly a couple levels above his teammates and I agree he should have averaged alot more assists but you have to understand that when someone is taking the majority of the shots his teammates won't be in the flow of the game and would likely to miss more.

    Anyways, it will be interesting what they can do this offseason with the #1 pick. Hopefully they don't self destruct.

    I'm thinking he'll stay in Orlando. Because, quite frankly, I don't think any of those deals would work. Cause, in San Antonio, he really wouldn't fit their style of play due to the fact that they play more of a defensive game and win that way than by scoring. In Houston, they're building that franchise around Yao and they don't want to bring in someone that's gonna take that many touches away from Yao. Phoenix they're trying to build around all those young players they already have so due to that I don't think they'll take him. And Los Angeles it's Kobe and Shaq and the only way he's coming there is probably sign and trade with Kobe.
