HawkItus Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 He's playing PG for Detroit. McGrady/Bibby JJ/Crawford Smith/Marvin Horf/Powell Collins/Pachulia Is that team a Finals contender? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaceCase Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 So is Joe but who plays off guard with Tracy in the game? Stuckey? Gordon? Well they both guard the 1 on defense except in special circumstances. Joe does exactly what TMac is doing but the problem would be on defense not offense.

I think McGrady moves better than Bibby does. No? I know it's crazy and not ideal for a long term solution, but having that big guard front would be nice even against the little guys.

McGrady runs the point in the game with Stuckey and Gordon the same way Joe runs the point with Bibby. He doesn't guard the opposing PG except in zone situations when either of Rip or Daye are at the 2. We run a similar configuration when we have Jamal at the 1.

HawkItus Posted January 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 So who excatly are you trading for gimpy? :white flag: That's the hangup in my eyes, with McGrady on a 1 year deal we can't offer anythng they would want talent wise. I was thinking TE + filler for somebody they have signed for more than a year, but most of the guys we could use are expiring contracts so they'd want something really good for them.

Endy9 Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 McGrady reeks too much of other over-the-hill and no longer motivated players we've brought to Atlanta only to see them dial it in.

Moderators AHF Posted January 26, 2011 Moderators Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Gotta give credit where credit is due. I thought McGrady was done but he has really played well for a really terrible Pistons team this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
