    Houston has moved beyond T-Mac and he might be able to get for less than his value. Any thoughts?

    Many more teams will be in the running for TMac unless you give up Bayless, Batum and someone with a big contract.

    Teams like Chicago are probably willing to offer more.

    We can't fill his salary with our contracts.

    B-Roy,

    Yeah just checked his salary and he is the top paid player in the entire league! No way we could or should do that.

    Man, imagine if we focused our energy on Trevor Ariza instead of that scrub Turkeyglu. Then our small forward situation wouldn't be so thin.

    I thought it was a good idea, but KP seemed pretty focused on adding another playmaker, not another defensive specialist. Hindsight's 20/20 as they say.

    Not a big T-Mac fan at this stage. The guy will break down within five games of coming back. I'd rather go after a guy like Battier.

    If we want to get a high draft pick, we should do whatever we can to bring him on board. I used to be a fan of T-mac, until I saw how detrimental he is to his team. Can never get into rhythm because he's always hurt. Also, he's one of only a few superstars that never lead his team past the first round of the playoffs.
