I know you want to here more about trades, but I have to interrupt all this trade talk for a moment, to complain about another pompous New York writer making ridculous comments that would be hilarious — if I didn’t think he was serious. But, sad to say, I think he is serious, which proves he’s also an idiot too.
Here’s what has me upset - some guy at the NY Times by the name of Howard Beck said,
“acquiring McGrady is not just about what’s left in this season, acquiring McGrady is about getting LeBron James this summer. The Knicks need James to see them as a winner; McGrady could help. They need James to see how their young prospects, Danilo Gallinari and Wilson Chandler, play alongside a scoring, playmaking, ball-dominating star — which James is and McGrady once was.This summer, when the Knicks try to woo James, they may need McGrady as a recruiter. If the 30-year-old McGrady can regain his old swagger, he may even make a great second fiddle – the multi-skilled sidekick that James never had in Cleveland.”
What did he say??
Yeah, you read it correctly, LBJ sees shell of his former self T-Mac and says, “Damn, I gotta go to NYC and play with that broken down old man”
Yeah, right.
Or, how about “Man, T-Mac just can’t play anymore and I don’t even like the guy, but man, the chance to play on the same team with him in NYC - I can’t pass it up. I mean how could I? He called me himself.”
Well, I’ll admit that I sure don’t know what LBJ is going to do next Summer, I don’t think anyone does for sure. But, for some writer in the all powerful city of New York to suggest that he’ll go there because T-Mac is in the house is both ridiculous and at the same time pathetic. Then, to suggest that he could be the sidekick LBJ never had in Cleveland well, “that’s incorrect”.
I read this story and laughed — then I just got upset. NYC writers must have a hard time trying to trump each other by coming up with more and more idiotic, crazy reasons for every athlete in the world to play there. I’m sick of hearing about it.
So, let me summarize. I’ve said this before and I’ll say it to all who will listen — including the arrogant bastard who is Howard Beck
C’mon Man!! Who are you kidding? You should write a novel, cause drug induced fiction is obviously something you do very well.
