By the way, T-Mac would be better at Guard than J-Lin or Price would ever be.

Might as well have the entire starting lineup be from the 35 and up division and see if they can compete running BS's prehistoric (or at least illegal defense-era) gameplan. Add Artest, Kenyon Martin, Jermaine O'Neal, and then for the 40's and 50's division, trot out Charles Oakley, Anthony Mason, AC Green (looks like he is still in shape on broadcasts), and John Salley for two minutes a game each to take out whoever is hot on the other team. This would make me turn on League Pass, which I purchased this year in hopes of seeing a resurgent Lakers team led by Lin & Kobe, which obviously hasn't happened.

Why not just have Byron step on the court himself and show these scrubs how real basketball is played.

WHAT THE HECK!!

Hook him on up maybe it will add some excitement to an other-wise dismal season.

He's in great shape and probably better than Earl Clark or any of the other bums we've been looking at. Plus most of our current players will be gone next season anyway.

If he doesn't pan out it wouldn't hurt our already depressing status in the league standings; if he makes a splash, then we have a great story with a happy ending for T-Mac.

would love to have TMac mentor guys like... umm... Ronnie Price? lol

it would make sense if Byron was trying to develop our young guys, like Lin, Clarkson or Davis... but Byron is busy looking for scapegoats in his (bleep) up system.

Can you imagine the starting line up that could have been?

PG-Nash
SG-Kobe
SF-T.Mac
PF-Boozer
C-Hill

I can see them smashing records left and right. Like most points given up in a game. Most points given up in a season. The slowest, oldest line-up in the league. It would have been the most epic tank job ever.

He could average 10+ points easily if he's healthy like he says he is.

Considering that he hadn't cracked 10 points/game since 2009, I find that highly unlikely.

Might as well lure Shaq into the show, so we have a 04-05 all-nba lineup in AI, Nash, Kobe, TMac and Shaq...just 10 year late...

I'm sorry but did I stumble into the "How bad has it gotten? Joke Thread". I can't tell the difference between either thread.

Tracy Mcgrady said in an interview that they were trying to push him to comeback but he said that he wasn't planning on coming back. He likes how hes living now.

And Shaq and some retired PF.

That would actually put butts in seats. Haha.

And we'd get the same results. Ha!
