Don’t chop me, shawty don’t screw me. Shawty don’t chop me, Shawty don’t screw me…why you acting all like that, like that? Like all you ever really want to do is just doubt me?
The story of T-Mac’s life. Once a premier NBA basketball player, now only a good role player…on a good day. His name carries more credibility than his game.
When he was traded from the Orlando Magic to the Houston Rockets, he was supposed to be that one guy, the guy Stevie Franchise used to be. Seeing him now, his Magic days was probably the peak of his career. The Houston Rockets is Yao Ming’s team now. Using up $20 million a year, not worth it for this guy. You’d be lucky if you see him play even half a season. Vince Carter, welcome aboard.
Onto the real topic. How many of you out there have been chopped and screwed by Tracy McGrady in your fantasy basketball league? I’m not talking about just this year, but the past, maybe, 4 years. At least with Gilbert Arenas, you know he’s going to be out the whole year before the draft, and he entertains you with his blog.
I drafted T-Mac in the 7th round this year thinking he would be a good sleeper pick for me. I guess I was the stupid one in my league, or had too high of a hope for the man. With Al Jefferson and Michael Redd both gone for the year, I needed T-Mac to step up. If you’re thinking how stupid I was to draft the injury prone players like Michael Redd and Tracy McGrady, you’re absolutely right. That’s why I drafted Monta Ellis to have him on my bench for half a season.
Luckily, I slowly climbed my way up the league rankings, picking up good players and currently holding the #3 spot steadily, just a mere half a game behind #2, but a lengthy 15 games behind first place.
I dropped Tracy McGrady and picked up Ryan Gomes. Help me people! Who else is worthy of replacing him? Shane Battier? Hakim Warrick? Von Wafer? I guess I’m not in that bad a situation, but I’m sure there are many of you out there who are suffering more. Share the pain. We, like Tracy McGrady, have A LOT of time to sit and listen, since
we’ve officially been chopped and screwed, screwed-screwed chopped-chopped and screwed…
