    Re: Mac v. Wade (social studies kids see the joke in that, )
    Mac is not a better shooter, he is a better 3pt shooter. Wade is far superior in midrange and from the stripe. Far superior. I'm not going to argue the court vision, but I disagree and we can leave it at that to keep this from going off of the rails.

    My argument does partially revolve around the idea that the straight up Mac for Odom trade wouldn't happen. So other pieces would be involved somehow. But besides that, there is also:
    -I don't see Mac coming off of the bench, which would change the Lakers drastically
    -If a 12-2 team is going to make a change, it should be to supplement their weaknesses. Scoring and passing are not the Lakers' weaknesses
    -For McGrady, I think he'd rather win as a leader before becoming Kobe's sidekick and perhaps a third option behind Pau.
    This is about as perfect as it gets in terms of why this trade just doesn't make sense.

      Actually, I came in here saying it was a bad idea. So i'm not slanted on anything. I don't think Tmac wants to win a ring as a glorified role player. I think he wants to win one as the guy not as one of the guys.

      Yeah, just ignore the numbers man. You said and correct me if I musunderstood you, you were saying he wouldn't be a fit because he's too injury prone and Odom is more durable. That whole Tmac is weak and isn't tough enough to play through injuries is just false.

      As I said....chemistry and only chemistry is the only way it doesn't work.

        I just want to tack on something to get out of the back and forth here. My argument is not that Tracy isn't a very good player. There are a few teams that I think you can put him on and get an instant champ contender, if not a chip flat out. The Spurs, Suns, Mavs, Hornets and Jazz are all teams that I think could really benefit from his skillset, and really take a major leap forward in the Power Rankings.

            I don't know that the Lakers beat the Celtics if T-Mac is playing for them. Do you let Kobe ease up off Pierce and focus on offense late in games? He's still going to have to chase Ray Allen around. That would leave T-Mac on Pierce....and I'm not sure on their history playing against one another, but I would rather have a bonafide defender in there on him. I don't think T-Mac is needed, just a tough defensive minded 3 and a gritty hustle guy to upgrade Turiaf.
