    You're too kind my friend...

    He's going to hurt this team if they keep him. We all know he could of been the X-factor but T-Mac has shown why he has such a bad rep.

    For you to be a leader, you must respect your team.

    Don't you think that the coach and GM should have a say? Like actually getting him to go through back to back practices to make sure he is healthy?

    Honestly?

    T-Mac better keep his mouth shut if he plans on getting a contract somewhere else.

    It's not like dude is gonna force himself on the court without anyone else's consent.
    Though that would be really awesome.

    I think he realizes that he's running out of time. I mean don't get wrong, we still have a lot of time till the end of the year but he needs to get on that court if he plans on making that run for a nice contract.

    As I stated before... Me-Mac... That's why Orlando traded him.

    Where is his respect for the organization and his teammates. Fool Les once shame on him. Keep screwing with the Rockets and Les will be happy to help Mac out the door.

    I don't think this thing is that simple.

    Tmac and PR people are not stupids. They are doing a compaign. I am wondering what's the purpose for the compaign?

    Well at this point you can at least count on tmac to behave predictably. It's not as if we haven't been thru this before. Once again, leaves a bad taste in the mouth...

    Honestly we are all just spectators on this train.....we are just commentating on what we see through the windows, each person has a slightly different view...but all of us are riding the same train.

    I think he was hoping the team would fall apart without him and Yao.. Then he would swoop in and save the day leading us to the playoffs (gaining more touches) which in turn would make him look more attractive to the rockets or other teams. When we didn't completely fall apart he got nervous.

    Now that he sees the system work will he be a ball stopper? Look at what Ariza is doing a middle of the road player is averaging great (for Ariza) numbers in Rebs/Asts/Pts. Could you imagine what TMAC could do if he just simply stayed within the offense? I don't see that happening though.

    February 19 last season - March - April - May 17 + Sep (training camp) - Oct - Nov 23 = 5 days over 6 months of play.

    Excluding 3 days in Feb(28) + 1 in April(30) + 1 in September(30) = 5 days.

    A full 6 months would be November 24. His MRI is scheduled on the 23rd, 2 days before the next Rockets game on the 24th.

    There is most likely a 6 month clause, or the Rockets desperately want that extra month off the books.
