Scwible Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 kinda figured this one would go down with all the talk of it before the draft of it being done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 T-Mac is a slight upgrade over Franchise. Francis and Yao had been working well together the past 2 years, will T-Mac do the same? Stevie probably won't be happy in Orlando unless that High Schooler pulls an Amare Stoudamire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet it helps that Mobley is going with him... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 How many teams in how many years for Juan Howard? Washington, Dallas, Denver, Orlando, now Houston in what? 3 or 4 years? How the highly touted have fallen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 TMac is one of those people who will never win anything. There is no team in him at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 TMac is one of those people who will never win anything. There is no team in him at all. I believe that now 2. I luv him as a player, but he won't play D unless his motivated to, and doesn't drink to the basket anymore cos of his back. I feel most sorry for Jameer Nelson now, he was our starting PG, now he's a backup behind Francis. Might not be worth a 1st round pick now.

Stevie probably won't be happy in Orlando unless that High Schooler pulls an Amare Stoudamire. A slight upgrade? C'mon now. Love him or hate him. T-mac is one of the top 5 all-around players in the league and probably the best player in the league under 7 feet tall. The guy has put up numbers the last 4 years that rival anybody. There's nothing he can't do. His d has fallen off. But I think playin for Van Gundy "a defensive minded coach" will defnitely improve his defense. Add to that T-mac finally has a quality center to play with. The Rockets no doubt win this trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
