Re: Official POST-LOCKOUT Player Movement Thread (Trades, FAs, etc)

yes

T-Mac is still a solid all around player....he's not the scorer he used to be but his playmaking ability is still above avg

He can be a Point Forward type for them and allow D.Rose to play off the ball a little...

This lineup is really pretty good IMO D.Rose, T-Mac, Deng, Boozer and Noah

Heck if i were Chicago i would even look into signing Nene and possibly sliding Noah over to PF bringing Boozer off the bench as your 6th man

I don't think they'd have the money, and it would create a sort of logjam with nene, booz, Noah, taj, and asik

What's T-Mac's health situation looking like, as far as playing in games and not having any issues with injuries and such?

I don't really know much, but he played in 72 games last year which was the most for him since 04-05

And, this may be wrong, but I think the player who protested John keuster may have been suspended

McGrady and Thibbs worked together in HOU just fine

That said, there is no done deal...

Also, he did just fine in DET, it was just a messed up situation overall with the team in a pending sale mess, tons of guards and forwards and it was Hamilton and Keuster feuding not Mcgrady, c'mon

Anyway, no thats still not Chicago's answer though but its definitely better than Keith Bogans starting for you

If anything this guy has great court vision to get passes into the post and around the court, he's still a threat, just not a 30ppg threat every night

Yeah I think it's a good move for the Bulls. TMac didn't get enough minutes with us since he had to split time with so many other guards, but when he played he was good. He was back in the distribution mode, and showed he still has his legs. I'm depressed we couldn't dump Rip off on them instead

Re: Official POST-LOCKOUT Player Movement Thread (Trades, FAs, etc)

Can someone explain amnesty? Is there a limit to the number of players you can get rid of? How does it all work? Thanks.

"Each team permitted to waive 1 player prior to any season of the CBA
(only for contracts in place at the inception of the CBA) and have 100% of
the player’s salary removed from team salary for Cap and Tax purposes.

Salary of amnestied players included for purposes of calculating players’
agreed-upon share of BRI.

A modified waiver process will be utilized for players waived pursuant to
the Amnesty rule, under which teams with Room under the Cap can
submit competing offers to assume some but not all of the player’s
remaining contract. If a player’s contract is claimed in this manner, the
remaining portion of the player’s salary will continue to be paid by the
team that waived him."

Thing is he didnt have any injuries... he only missed games from the above stated problems...overstacked roster, management issues, etc...

For the most part the guy has a pretty solid bb IQ and can pass with the best of them. He could easlily help any contending team but I know many people didnt watch the Pistons anyway, it was just a cluster of a mess

T-Mac to the Bulls?

Not sure if I can get excited about it. It sounds good BUT one of McGrady's weakness throughout his career has been his off-ball movement and his ability to come back to the ball. He's always had problems being easily denied the ball once he gave it up. And with him being on the Bulls, he won't be the primary ball handler like he was in his prime. So given his history I'm wondering how he'll be effective with the Bulls offensively since he won't be dominating the ball?

I hate to say it, but I don't see any commitment to winning at Time Warner Arena this year, so I don't expect any major movies for the Bobcats and probably 15-20 wins for the team.

I wouldn't be surprised if someone like the celtics signed VC

[Yeah...THAT Guy]

Re: Official POST-LOCKOUT Player Movement Thread (Trades, FAs, etc)

If there is any god, please let the Bucks re-sign Luc Richard Mbah a Moute.

1. He's a fantastic defender and might be my favorite player on the team.
2. His name is Luc Richard Mbah a Moute.

Back in NJ hopefully.

Not gonna hold my breath for it to happen but I'd love for him to finish his career there.

He was never the primary ball handler just the only one on his teams that could make plays... not charlie ward, not bob sura, not david wesley, not luther head, not rod strickland, not andre barrett...and with this list of names you're probably starting to get the picture as to why

Bob Sura.

I was a 3 point murderer with him in 2K5.
