T-Mac vs Rockets - fight!

Re: T-Mac vs Rockets - fight!

In limited time with this year, I've seen McGrady look sharp. Obviously, that's a long way from him regaining even a shell of his old form, which was nearly as potent a scorer as we have in this league. However, it's worth noting that he looks healthier and more explosive than he has in a couple of years. McGrady has had some pretty bad rehab and training in the past, but the jury is out on what he's like after getting the best of the best.

I wouldn't shut the door on him being a major factor in this league just yet.

I don't think we've seen enough to say anything. It wouldn't be fair to call him done and it is right to say he is back. I agree though, we can't shut him out yet as we just don't know.

I've always been a huge fan of T-Mac. Still am, and I hope that he comes back and we somewhat see the T-Mac of old and that he has a injury free career the rest of thew way.

Exactly.

He has looked damn good. He's moving very well. Hasn't really showed signs of injury.

Here are some highlights from the 1st game:

And his 5th game:

^The way he moves at 3:35 shows me a lot.

Re: T-Mac vs Rockets - fight!

Over the last 5 seasons, including this year, he's only played in about half of all games. I'd like to see him come back and be a contributor on a good team, but I'm not sure he'd be more than a second option (which is still good) unless a team doesn't have a go-to guy. Frankly, I haven't seen enough out of him on a consistent basis to know.

They could get a lot out of trading him if they wait until the deadline. Teams are salivating over expiring 20 million dollar contracts with the young free agent superstars coming out in the summer.

EDIT: Just thought of this, albeit slightly off-topic. If they keep him on the books for this year, who do you see them going after in free agency?
