Can Danny?

So T-Mac is now unhappy in Houston. Not that he isn't wrong.  The Rox have gone about as far as they can with the McGrady and Ming duo and one of them has to move on.  So where could T-Mac go?

As for the Celtics, I know you don't mess with a good thing but Ray Allen, Tony Allen, and Brian Scalabrine (who was signed based on now-Houston GM Daryl Morey's urging) for T-Mac and Luther Head.  Allen is a great fit with Yao and the bunch of shoot-first point guards in the Houston.  Personally, I like Ray's fit here more than trying to fit T-Mac in but it is definitely a thought to consider. If anything, I think Houston might be looking for a little more.

The Players: 

Golden State: I doubt a package of Stephen Jackson and Al Harrington is all that enticing but what about Harrington, Brandan Wright, Monta Ellis, Mickeal Pietrus, and Patrick O'Bryant.  It's a TON to give up (Chuck Hayes and possibly a pick would be coming Golden State's way) but when you look at it, Harrington is so-so, Wright doesn't seem like he'll ever get out of Nellie's doghouse, and Pietrus and O'Bryant are likely goners after the season anyway. Ellis is the only real loss in the deal.  The Warriors need to make a move to get to the next level and a lineup of Baron, McGrady, Jackson, Barnes, and Biedrins would throw up a ton of points playing Nellieball.

Los Angeles Clippers: If the Clippers believe in Chris Kaman in the paint and Al Thornton at the four, they could offer Elton Brand and Cuttino Mobley (for old time's sake) for T-Mac and Chuck Hayes.  Brand's high post game could work well with Yao while a Cassell, McGrady, Maggette, Thornton/Tim Thomas, Chris Kaman lineup would be impressive.

Los Angeles Lakers: If McGrady would be willing to take the Pippen role in the triangle, an Odom/Kwame for T-Mac swap could be interesting. 

Memphis: I think the Grizz are rebuilding but if they want to give Gasol some help now, a package starting with Mike Miller, Darko Milicic, and Damon Stoudamire could do the trick.  The Grizzlies could toss in Kyle Lowry or Hakim Warrick as well.

Atlanta: If Atlanta doesn't want to re-sign Josh Smith to a big contract, do they offer him in a deal for T-Mac? The problem, of course, is that it would take a number of guys to make salaries match (unless Joe Johnson is also in the deal).  Smith, Marvin Williams, Shelden Williams, and cash to buy out both Lo Wright and Speedy Claxton? It would lead to two interesting teams (JJ, T-Mac, Horford and Smith, Battier, Marvin, Ming) but I can't see it happening.\

The Prayers:

Charlotte: Michael Jordan wants to win now and going after T-Mac could be the move that gets him closer to contending for the 8th spot. But what could he offer? Gerald Wallace is BYC which complicates things and I can't imagine they'd want to deal him.  Jason Richardson is a start but what else can they offer because I doubt that downgrading from T-Mac to J-Rich is going to wow the Stat Guy GM in Houston. Sean May, Matt Carroll and J-Rich?  I doubt it's enough.

Dallas: I don't think there's anyone who Dallas won't make a run at but Jason Terry isn't enough, Josh Howard is BYC, and Dirk is untouchable.  After that, there's not much that is all that enticing.

Denver: The odds of this happening are nil but AI and K-Mart for T-Mac, Luther Head, Mike James, and Chuck Hayes works. Not that the deal actually does anything for either team.

Indiana: I don't really see it.  I don't know why Houston would swap T-Mac for Jermaine O'Neal nor can I see any package of Troy Murphy, Mike Dunleavy Jr., Marquis Daniels or Jamaal Tinlsey really make sense.  Maybe they could put out an offer with Danny Granger and Ike Diogu but I doubt it would be enough.

Phoenix: If Shawn Marion is unhappy, a deal that bring T-Mac and Dikembe over to the Suns could be worked out.  I think Marion is a better fit in Phoenix though.

Sacramento: If Geoff Petrie is determined to make a run, a T-Mac for Kevin Martin swap might be possible. I wouldn't recommend it but stranger things have happened.

Toronto: Bargnani, Anthony Parker, and Rasho Nesterovic's contract? You'd have to be pretty high on Bargnani. Or just pretty high.

Of course, a lot of GM's simply might not be interested in the aging, highly paid, oft-injured shooting guard who has never seen the second round.
