T-Mac is a goner. The AP is reporting Monday night that McGrady is requesting a trade.  Houston is not going to play him the rest of the season. They need a Center. Brad Miller plus Salmons or Jerome James works on the trade machine.

Pluses:
              1- Lose Salmon’s uncertainty re opting out
              2- If, a big if, T-Mac regains his ability to play we could make a nice run to end the season and go into the playoff with momentum
              3- T-Mac can open up the floor for Rose

Negatives:
              1- Losing Miller makes us vulnerable if Noah goes down.
              2- I think Rose is really progressing and having T-Mac want to dominate the ball can mess up his development
              3- The team could collapse if T-Mac cannot play which  is definitely a possibility based on his history.

Does this make sense for us?
