Because as long as you're injured more than you play, you can't be counted on to be a star.

But that's the implication that we would need TMac to be a role player. If we were to pick him up, he wouldn't need him to be a role player, but a #2 scoring option. His health is in question, no doubt. But Howard's is too, so it isn't something we haven't dealt with. But the difference is, TMac knows he's ready to play, knows he's ready to play 30+ minutes a game. Whereas Josh has been wavering, and Carlisle is weaning him into more minutes.
Anyway, all of this is null and void if our FO doesn't even try to get him. But if he somehow gets out of his huge contract, and into a smaller one, I think it's more of a low risk/high reward situation rather than high risk/high reward.
