Yes, I understand about the games, but on the same note -- most of these guys play year round regardless. They are on the court all the time -- they have to be to get as good as they are. I don't know that there is any more wear and tear with good trainers, diets, etc as there is on college guys who try to do basically the same thing with less at stake and lots less resources.
Maybe TMac is done -- maybe not. Maybe JHo comes back and realizes his potential - maybe not. IMO -- TMac at his best is better than JHo at his best. Will either see their best again ----- that is the gamble.

RealGM has McGrady's birthday wrong. It's May 24th '79.
NBA games are very different from any pickup games people play year-round. Garnett is only 33 but his knees are shot and he's playing like a 36 year old, if not older. The wear and tear of NBA games take a toll on players.
I don't think it's a gamble at all that Josh regains his best. I think it's an absolute certainty.
