Report: McGrady wants out of Orlando (http://www.tsn.ca/nba/news_story.asp?id=88144)

Not really surprised by this too much. It wasn't a metter of if, but a matter of when.

Of all top teams, the Spurs have the most money to spend, that and Tracy is a good friend of Tim Duncan. I just don't know whether Tracy prefers to win above being the man, cause he won't be the man in SA. Anyhow, a top 5 of..

CN - Rasho Nesterovic
PF - Tim Duncan
SF - Tracy McGrady
SG - Manu Ginobili
PG - Tony Parker
-----------------------
# 6 - Bruce Bowen
# 7 - Hedo Turkoglu
# 8 - Malik Rose
# 9 - Robert Horry
#10 - Charley Ward

.. would be quite spectacular..

Judging by what happened with Toronto, I think Tracy will choose being the man...

You're right TMac in SA would be great for them. He would give them the dynamic player they are missing. BUT I think that the Spurs is exact type of situation McGrady doesn't want to go to. He wants to play in a place where he is the man and the offense revolves around him. I think its more likely he will end up in LA.

Last I heard bout all this...around 2 weeks ago...is that Orlando would want Ginobili n a trade for TMac. I say NO DICE!!

Okay here goes.

Vince Carter, Donyell Marshall and a 1st (8th overall) for Tracy McGrady and Drew Gooden

Cato-Francis for TMac-Juwan Howard.

half that starting roster would be gone before tracy is there :shakehead

They should send his complaining self to Atlanta or the Clippers.

T-Mac to G-State Warriors! :lol:

Is that a joke?

Because I don't know what to say.

:amazed:

(and I'm being honest)

Regardless, the top 5 would be intact.. Had to add some depth, but yeah, most of them need to be traded in order to create salary room.

LA's quick fix will be to throw a ton of money at McGrady. He'll be a Laker, if anything.

Explain?

Explain?
Were you joking... or was it a serious idea?

It could have been a joke considering you're trading Carter for McGrady... after the whole situation.

I'm serious. Orlando was interested in Carter a couple of years ago since he's from the area, and they may see him as a marketable player in Orlando. Better to get something that you can sell to your fans, than lose McGrady for nothing. In addition, I always liked McGrady more than Carter from a Raps perspective and wouldn't mind seeing him back in TO if he's interested.

Do you think it's not fair value for either team?

ridiculous

tmac is a top 5 player, carter is deteriorating...... drew gooden was a #4 pick and has done nothing to hurt his status, meanwhile you propose to trade carter who is now garbage really for tmac, then swap a former #4 pick that is legit for a undrafted #8 and marshall to balance that?

who are you kidding

I hate this trade from a TO perspective.

Yes, McGrady is better than Vince, but we had him here and he didn't like it. He's not coming back.

Gooden is a solid starter, a guy that will put up 15 and 7 in my opinion, but did you relaize we have a franchise player in Chris Bosh at powerforward?

And we give up Donyell Marshall, who put up 16 and 11 in a TO uniform, and the 8th overall pick, a pick that this franchise needs to draft a point or a center?

Great deal for TO. :shakehead

LMAO, Carter is grabage? Um, ok...

Drew Gooden was a former 4th overall pick. And you point is? So was Donyell Marshall.

Word has it today that the rockets are the front runners for Mcgrady and they are close to a deal which they'll send Steve Francis to the Magic for Mcgrady.

Rumor---Macgrady and Howard for Francis, Cato, and Mobley. Trade pending on if other players involved in this trade doesn't get selected in the draft.
