    This definitely needed its own thread. Along with every other Twitter update....

    Jesus Christ you are eager to annoy, aren't you?

    I love it !! Tracy has really shown interest in playing in New York so it would be perfect if we trade him to the Bulls. The Bulls deal is better but just to screw him one more time.

    By the way, isn't it ironic Tracy could be playing for D'antoni who loves the up-tempo style. Can Tracy even run a fastbreak ? He never showed it in Houston and playing injured it's going to be a great Broadway show.

    I'm okay with starting new threads for info from Clutch's tweets. He doesn't always start the thread himself.

    Tmac will have the ball in NY. But, if he plays for CHI, he will probably be the 6th man. The ball will be in Rose's hands most of time.

    Who cares as long as that bum is out of Houston. He could be mopping the Jazz floor for all I care.

    Well... last time he tried to take off for a fast break, he got hung out to dry by the rim and provided much lulz for the bench. Then he instantly fouled the rebounder, probably out of sheer frustration. T-Mac has always had EVERY SINGLE tool and opportunity within his grasp, but he pissed it all away with his selfish nature and questionable work ethics. What a lot of people don't understand is that the SAME THING HAS HAPPENED in every city T-Mac has played for. It is not coincidence that T-Mac just so happened to burn bridges with yet another team.

    Not to mention that they could also swing another trade before the deadline. Possibly something like Battier , Chase, and Taylor for Iggy. So getting it done today would definitely help.

    I don't agree with your post at all. First off, the Rockets never even attempted to see what kind of skills McGrady had after the surgery. Playing 6-8 mins for 5-6 games doesn't let you evaluate the talent of someone returning from injury. For all we know he could have returned to an all-star caliber player and we would know this if he was actually allowed to play. Trading him for a bag of peanuts to NYK is all we're doing unless we're going after another primetime player with those picks.

    Well they did see him in practice for an extended period of time, that should give them some sort of idea of his skill set and game action is only more intense.

    The only thing about this knicks deal is that taking on a large contract in which the players suck!!!! Jefferies is horrible. Now we will have jefferies Hayes battier and ariza. Guys that don't score really. Come on what type of Team are the rockets tryin to build here.

    Brooks IMHO isn't ready yet to lead a team. The more I watch him the more I still see his playing style when he was at Oregon. Only if they thought twice about mcgrady then brooks could go wild n score while mcgrady could be the playmaker.

    So going 70% in practice is a good way to evaluate him? I don't think so. Games mean a whole lot more than practice and I would bet 95% of NBA don't give 100% in practice bc they know it means nothing.

    So if he has a hard time going 70% in practice he will have a more successful time going 100% in game action??? :confused:

    I've seen nothing that says he was having trouble in practice. From all indications he was progessing nicely.
