    How much longer should I hold out hope on the McGrady situation? Picking up Dunleavy, McGrady, Tinsley, and Iverson all within the last two weeks or so was a giant risk, but it looks like Dunleavy and Iverson could pay out some dividends (if they do stay healthy).

    Not sure about Tinsley, but I’ll hold true for a little while, but should I just continue to wait it out on McGrady now that I’ve stuck to him for two weeks? The waiver wire is pretty gross for the most part.

    @generic: If there isn’t anyone on the waiver wire who looks appealing, you can probably afford to wait on T-Mac for now, unless you’re struggling and need someone productive at the end of your bench.
