Trading Tracy McGrady to the Cleveland Cavaliers and Ending an Era of Bad Luck

(Photo by Jeff Gross/Getty Images)

As I write this, I am thinking about the good times and the bad times I have experienced as a fan of the Houston Rockets. From Calvin Murphy's rise and fall, to Rudy-T, to Moses Malone, to The Dream, to The Franchise, to The Great Wall, and then to Tracy Lamar Mcgrady.

T-Mac, the one who got more chance in life than his brother Chance McGrady, and look how he abused all the natural talents that God blessed him with.

I am a devoted fan of the Houston Rockets, and Tracy, you are OFFICIALLY FIRED!

Houston Rockets- Incoming Players

Position        Name                     Salary

C          C. Ilgauskas                 $11,541,074 @ 1 year

SG        D. West                       $  4,254,250 @ 2 years

PG        M. Williams                   $  8,860,000 @ 3 years

Next year's first round pick  (I'm open to taking a second round pick too)

Cleveland Cavaliers- Incoming Players

Position        Name                     Salary

SG        T. McGrady                $22,843,124 @ one year

PG        A. Brooks                   $1,118,520 @ two years

Cleveland Cavaliers (National Basketball Association) can avoid a face off between Shaq and Ilgauskas on who will start. Shaq is the new bully in town, while Ilgauskas is the perfect Company man who has been with the Cavs through all the ups and downs—played with the Cavs before LeBron and is still playing with LeBron.

The Houston Rockets need a big man, and Ilgauskas can compliment Yao as a backup or as a starter now that Yao is hurt. Also, when Yao is back, sometimes he can get minutes at the PF position.

Cavaliers also get another superstar in Tracy Mcgrady who will finally have no more excuses for not making the second round after being paired with LeBron and Shaq. Houston also gets Delonte West and Mo Williams.

The most important piece in this trade apart from Ilgauskus is D. West, he is a SG who can also play PG. He is a big pg who is an excellent defender and can still knock down threes.

Morey can either trade Mo Williams to another team that needs him and use him on the squad. Although the best scenario would be to trade him.

At the end of the day, everyone is happy or so I expect. Houston is happy, Cavs are happy, LBJ is happy, T-Mac is happy, Z/Mo/D.West are in Houston.
