He's putting up over 30 points a game, he gets rebounds, he gets assists, he's the best scorer in the league!  Steph Curry can't handle T-Mac!  What's not to love?

Just watch that video.  What a beast!

Plus, the Magic just have no help for him.  The second best player on that team is who, 22 year old Mike Miller?  They've got no hope.  We should trade them all of our picks.  Did you know he's related to Vince Carter?  That guy is awesome!

Would the Celts be the favorite to win the title if we traded for 2003 T-Mac?  Maybe not.  But I think we'd have a chance to go deep!

Make it happen Danny!

It's crazy to think how much of a beast McGrady was... injuries really ruined him...

Also your vid was good but this is how I'll always remember him (not 2003 but still).

I am all in on this one. Question for the cap experts though. If we trade for 2003 McGrady, do we still have room for 1994 Shaq?

My favorite basketball youtube videos to watch are of McGrady. He was a such a talent. He really would have been one of the greats.

We should think big and go for the 1985 version of Moses Malone. His cap hit is only $2,000,000.

Hmmm not too sure about his work ethic. That sleepy demeanor he's got makes me think he's not going to devote everything to rehab if he gets injured. Better hope he never gets a significant injury especially with that suspect Magic Training Staff.

But hey what are the odds of that happening anyways? Go get him Danny!

I remember watching that game live on TNT - it was actually really boring and kinda sloppy for the first 47+ minutes.  Seemed like a routine Spurs win.  Then things just went bananas.

I don't mean to be a hater, but look at all of those contested long twos! Would Rudy Gay have been more celebrated if he hadn't come along 10 years too late?

How many points per game would 2003 T-Mac have scored in today's league?
