He could help the Pistons. I'm sure LB could make it work out.

I just don't know if the Pistons would have to give up too much...I'd want to hear what the Magic were looking at getting for TMac before thinking much further. But sure, TMac would help out the Pistons, he's a great player.

The Magic aren't in position to rape anybody. They've made too many mistakes over the years.

I think picking up McGrady would be a mistake for the Pistons. Rip is the perfect fit in their system. I think if they can hold onto Rasheed and manage to get rid of some of the dead weight in the middle (Campbell). They will be much better off. Trading for TMAC won't solve their problems (which right now doesn't appear that they have any).

I agree with what you are saying and the deal would have to pretty sweet. However, what T-Mac does bring that the Pistons don't have is someone that can create their own shot. Chauncey can do against smaller PGs and Sheed can do it when he wants to. But noone at the 2 or 3 really can...and that's where you need it.

<hr /></blockquote>

It would be the downfall of Rip's career. He would have to be included in any deal. We all saw how he reacted when he was the main scoring threat for Washington. It wasn't pretty. In Orlando he would be the man. Grant Hill isn't going to give him much, if anything. Howard has seen better days. Gooden will probably be traded this offseason, and they don't even have a PG worthy of starting in the NBA on their roster. Maybe they can acquire one in a Gooden trade. I'm assuming that they select Okafor, but even with him as their starting Center (it's the East, he can handle it), they don't scare anyone. Still maybe one of the 2-3 worst teams in the League.

T- Mac should at least have his team competing for the playoffs every year if he wants to be considered a superstar, even than thats asking too little.

The guy playes in the Eastern Conference, there should be no excuse for the Magic having the worst record in the L, and that 18 game losing streak.

He still is young, so he can change his mentality, and become a superstar. No one here is saying that T-Mac should have his team competing for the championship every year, cauze that would be asking too much from one player. But At least have your squad competing for the playoffs, especially in the Eastern Conference!!!!

<hr /></blockquote>

What are you talking about? He is all by himself on the magic. He has done everything he can to win but his teammates are terrible. Does he have to score 100 points before people realize that his team is horrible and that he is doing everything himself?

They should never trade RIP. The Magic has made far too many bad decisions. Mac has complained, but I would too. He fills the seats and is the reason they stil have a franchise. After Shaq, that team has went downhill fast. Gabriel just sped the process up by not putting any kind of talent around the only scoring threat they have. It's sad that a guy can botch up a team that bad. I'd leave.
