ing Warriors
The Second Best Page in the Universe has been informed that Warriors General Manager Larry Riley has called the Houston Rockets about acquiring injured SF Tracy McGrady in exchange for Corey Maggette, Stephen Jackson, and a conditional draft pick...trading Maggette and Jackson would open up more playing time for rookie Stephen Curry and second year forward Anthony Randolph who have impressed Riley in summer league play... the Warriors would like to start McGrady at shooting guard next to PG Monta Ellis...

LMFAO at anyone who think this will happen.
I'm not familiar with the site that "broke this news", but it's hard to find it completely credible considering the picture that is attached to the claim.![]()
If this is true the Rockets should do it ASAP, but I doubt it is.
This is defiitely a cap move. Besides, rumor is that McGrady wouldn't be ready to play till early next year.
Also begs the question, who starts in Houston with Ariza, Magette, and Jackson?
It would work from a shedding salary standpoint, but why do that? With the way Nelson coaches, Curry could start at the 2 with Monta at the point and Jackson can play the 3 with Corey coming off the bench in a role he did well in last year.
That is a pure salary dump from a team that does not need to do it.
Brooks/Lowry
Jackson/Taylor/Budinger
Ariza/Magette
Scola/Landry
Anderson/Hayes/Dorsey
I didn't know Magette came off the bench. Then again, I never knew when he play in the first place since he was always injured.
Yes, Corey played a nice "6th man" role for the Warriors. He put up very solid numbers doing so.
If the Warriors are looking to get rid of Sjax the Spurs really should look into getting him.
i think its iight deal for warriors but if they wanna trade jackson/maggette so curry and ellis can play, GS should get some more big men and the could be heading to playoffs
Curry and Ellis and Randolph can all play w/o trading imo.
PG: Monta
SG: Curry
SF: Jax
PF: Randolph
C: Biedrins
6th man Corey...
Ya right...
yeah manu for him
otherwise their is not enough touches for him here
Those two make us a mediocre team at best.
Are you kidding? What will the Rockets get in FA next year that is better than Jax and Corey? With the way things look now, they will be mediocre to bad for many years anyways, why not get some pieces you can build around or move if you want to?
I believe that SJ has McGrady-esque talent (minus the injury issues) and the Rockets would be getting Maggette and a pick to go along with it. The Warriors would be idiotic to pull the trigger on this deal. I'm calling B.S.
Morey does not overpay...ever. Both those players have long bad contracts.
With McGrady's expiring we could offer one player a max deal to pair with Yao and arguably the best collection of role players in the league. If Yao retires, we could offer 2.
