I'd do that deal in less than a micro-second.

Question is, if you were them, would you do it ?

I guess we'd need to put a 1st rounder in too.

Look at the thing from this side. We get rid of our worst contract, and we get back one of the best (if not the best) SF in the league.

Overpaying means squat when you have the opportunity to pair marbury with Tmac.

I believe this one makes more sense-the magic receive Houston the maintain a semblence of scoring, Thomas who is tradeable, a young PG and an expiriing contract plus a draft choice or two.

TRADE ACCEPTED

Steph and tmac would be one of the best 1-2 punch in the league.

fearsome, and they would make guys around them so much better.

Problem would be : who's the king ?

MacGrady as a Knick is very doable. I can almost guaranty you that Isia is trying to find out right now how to make it happen. After all, didn't he draft and mold TMac in his early days????
