T-Mac isn't a trivial guy. He's seemed out of sorts for a few weeks now. He's had major setbacks in his personal life over the past 5 years and now his baby daughters health is an issue. Amazing it took this long for the man to be pushed over the edge. I feel for him. I think his idea of disappearing for a bit is a good one. Hopefully not Ricky Williams disappearing, but if that's what it takes - then whatever get's his head healthy. Dude's got a full plate..... _________________ I'm On point, On task, On message, and Off drugs. A Streetwise Smart Bomb, Out of rehab and In denial.

Think we could make a bid for him? I think he'd fit perfectly into the role that LO was SUPPOSED to fill... _________________ Build around team players, not ISO players. |

I don't think it's so outraeous to think so. He seems more realistic than many. He's been a tradable asset to his entire career and the back, and now head issues, only adds to the possibility. But it's just wishful thinking on my part at this point. A viable trade is possible though... _________________ I'm On point, On task, On message, and Off drugs.

Pity him ...
I saw his face during the Rockets-Suns game and he looked awful.
I hope he can overcome his problems soon.
May God give him peace ... |

This is awful and i feel bad for T-Mac! That being said, I could never see Kobe saying anything like that or wanting to be anywhere but a basketball court during trivial times. And the whole world was there every step of the way for Kobe's crisis and we saw the results on the B-ball floor, its amazing when you think back on it! _________________ "To me he is the best player in the world right now.

That is harsh beyond words. It would be pretty messed up. I keep hearing medical with the daughter, though. I guess the daughter not being his would actually be better. Healthy kid, regardless of who her father is is more important. |

Maybe Kobe can reach him. Situations might be totally different, but Kobe has been through a lot these last couple years. Both came out of HS, both NBA Superstars, etc. If anyone could get through to him, Kobe could.
To see T-Mac breakdown so to speak like that while going through his situation, and Kobe seemingly doing just the opposite when he was going through his, is what separates Kobe from a lot of his peers. (And this is no knock on T-Mac b/c I feel for him -- whatever it is...) |

Yeah I think T-mac is going through something real, I hope the best, and I ain't just sayin that in hopes that he'd be a Laker.....but... ....since we are on the subject. He may be the only guy in the league that is better or as good as Kobe at making something out of nothing. He would have to swallow his pride to be a Pippen type guy, but oh the humanity!
I agree that it doesn't seem as crazy as most ideas going around, but if losing/personal reasons have him even questioning being in Houston (total speculation) then Mitch needs to be very agressive. Anything outside of Kobe and Bynum is yours Houston, take that for what it is worth. If they are indeed serious about Francis (still haven't figured that one out), they should work out a 3 way deal. If Orlando takes Odom and Francis goes to Houston, the Lakers would have to throw in Mihm (to play PF) and some picks to make it somewhat presentable.
Honestly, this isn't even a situation (yet), but Mitch needs make a serious bid for McGrady instead of waiting to see how it plays out. I still don't see Houston catching LA, but that is only this year. |

It's hard for most players to separate on-court from off-court problems. Kobe is a rare exception. Sometimes when things were worst, Kobe could shutout the world for the world of basketball. _________________ "Darkness cannot drive out darkness. Only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate.
