:wtf:my last memories of t-Mac with the Knicks/Hawks, was that he was hooping. He wasn't on no lebron shyt but giving his minutes he was putting up good numbers and contributing.:ld:.

Really I don't understand why he ain't got picked up. 6'9 forward who can hit the occasional 3, can post up smaller guards and distribute with underrated passing ability.

You mean to tell me it's nobody in the Lakers/heat/okc/celtics/spurs/Dallas any contending team he can replace he can replace, I doubt that.

Being good and being ELITE aren't the same thing. T-Mac was at one point one of the top 3 players in the world. During his Knicks stint it was clear he'd never be at that level ever again.

As of right now McGrady is an role player at best.

And T-Mac's agent had been putting rumors out there in the past about him joining the Heat and Lakers, the fact that they're not biting speaks volumes.

shyt if I was the Knicks, I would try to convince Alan Houston to come back. NH but this dude still has that beautiful stroke and was in real good shape last time I saw him during the Shoot Out during the 2012 Shooting Stars Competition.

He tried like 2 seasons ago, but his knees are done.

:wtf:I didn't say he would be elite.

Bums and role players are different to me:manny: just cuz he ain't elite don't mean he a bum. I still think he's capable of contributing to a team, I just do breh. If he can replicate any of those game against the celtics in the playoffs every now and then I think that would help a team with one or two stars easy while also mentoring you players. :manny:

I was hearing that those team weren't interested cuz he wanted a bigger role than they had for him. Maybe ego or just an attempt at one las money grab. You tellin me he can't contribute more than rashard Lewis?

kenyon can still most definitely ball..the perimeter d and hops he was showing in limited time were impressive to me...id sign t-mac too. can play that point-forward role off the bench and can still be a dynamic threat offensively, even if he cant score at the volume that he used to. both at vet mins are good looks.

I honestly doubt that he can.

I'd rather kick out to Rashard Lewis for the wide open three than Tracy McGrady. :yeshrug:

The difference is neither of those guys have a rep of being a locker room cancer and they also aren't likely to demand to be a starter on whatever team they played for.

A.I. sealed his own fate with the Memphis situation.

People have been talking about T-Mac being a cancer though. Complaining when Houston wasn't bringing him back, being part of the attempted coup in Detroit, and complaints about minutes in Atlanta. I think his complaints have all been justified but I don't know if everyone sees it that way.

T-Mac got a standing ovation when he returned to houston, I recall. Come to think of it all the teams he was apart of, look at their decisions(magic,Dwight Houston's roster, knicks as a franchise, hawks being complacent)as of lately.

What did rashard do last year Pope. I would of thought he was out of the L.

Tmac literally had one good game for the knicks and that was it

It was against the thunder?, right. Only game I saw w/ him w/ the Knicks. Proly aint get no burn. That's one game more than Lewis I can remember. What about the playoffs?

Teams was just turned off by the role he wanted, the bulls worked him out too.


I honestly doubt that he can.

Based off what from last year?

Yo I would love if the Knicks got Martin. He got a nice jumper and his defense is still good. If we somehow all stay healthy, I really like our chance of at least getting out of the first round. On the low the Knicks put together a really good squad. If this was 5 years ago we'd def be in the finals though lol.
