    Just curious, if Tracy doesnt get the knife, would you want him to come back and play in the playoffs?

    Only if it ups the trade value of his expiring contract for teams to see he can still gimp up a basketball court.

    Heck no, just watch the team's body language now, it is fairly clear that he was a major problem in the locker room and on the floor.

    When teamates are calling you out for your lack of effort, that says a lot.

    No...NO...NO...

    I hope he never wears the Rocket's colors again.

    If he was completely healthy, sure. If he is going to be limping around on one leg most of the time, and keep flip flopping from feeling 90% to needing to sit out the rest of the year from game to game, then no. In other words, only if what ever treatment he got allowed for a 100% recovery, which seems unlikely without surgery.

    Being healthy also requires mental health, and with him being hesitant to run Rick Adelman's offense and thus stagnating this team's growth, I don't want him anywhere near the bench.

    Marbury his butt....

    It depends. If he can come back in at atleast 80%. I would love for him to come back and be top 3 in nba playoff production. Saying no is like saying we dont wont him back because we can win it all without him.

    That is exactly what I think.

    Healthly McGrady? SURE.

    But it looks like he is not gonne be healthly this season, so the sooner he decides for the surgery, the better.

    TMac must play the way suit him, given his current health condition, not the way he used to play. If so, he would benefit the whole team because even now, there is no another guy in this team who has Tmac's talent and pure basketball skill.

    If he's healthy and you still don't want him, that's like not wanting Kobe to join the rockets because it would ruin our chemistry.

    Change your moniker right now....that is not a realist opinion at all.

    Tracy has never been as efficient as Kobe, and Kobe trusts his teamates.

    Not even close in comparison.

    And Tracy is not going to be healthy, whether it is physical or mental......either one destroys the chemistry, why mess with that now?

    What? I love you DD, but that is a BS.

    Kobe trusts his teammates? I don't think he did trust them when he was averaging 35 and than 30 ppg...

    I think the poll should read "Do you want a guaranteed first round exit this year?"

    Kobe NOW trusts his teammates, but this is something new.

    I would love T-Mac back, but he HAS to
    1. Come off the bench
    2. Run the offense
    3. Do not cause too many problems

    Jeff, he didn't trust them then, but he does now....Kobe grew, Tmac did not.

    Yes, I want TMac, but wait, only his annual salary for two strong players next year.
