    You could see that whenever Elston, Adelman or Morey talked about the situation, there are subtle facial expressions that people make when they are not being completely honest.

    Still.....don't like the drama, just end it already.

    Sometimes you would rather just be completly wrong...ugh.

    Dammit, just when you thought the stupid soap opera would start to die down a little bit. I'm tired of this mess.

    But HOW!?!? That's the question, how do you end something like this?

    You cannot simply give him the Marbury treatment, that would be downright cruel and not classy of the organization. We also can't just trade him whatever trash we are being offered. I don't like the idea of taking the best deal available if it isn't a good deal at all. Also, buying him out, why should T-mac agree to substantial buy-out? Even so, I think a buy-out would be the best idea.

    I hate all this drama surrounding our team and I just wanted to end sooner rather than later.

    Trade TMac and Brooks for Al Jefferson, Johnny Flynn, and Mark Blount


    Huge lopsided trade, but Morey can get it done.



    This is huge news for the Rockets. Makes me think that once Morey finds this news out, he'll be working the wires for TMac, if he's already not.

    I think TMac has seen his last days in Houston.

    Ruh-roe is right! I guess the whole idea that TMac and Les are tight is over, too. Morey is going to have to really pull one out of his MIT ass to salvage something of value for McGrady.

    I REALLY hope they have something big in the works if that is indeed the case. I mean if they are going to trade him, it kinda makes sense to not play him and let him get hurt and ruin his trade value. Right now teams might think that he is ready to come in and make an impact?

    If they aren't going to play him, trade him, simple. It will be best for both. Mcgrady will be more motivated, and Rockets will feel they needed to.

    I still say give him a chance

    Has anyone ever thought that instead of playing Tmac solely for the purpose of having a 4th quarter closer, that we take this time to develop someone else on the roster to be able to take the reigns and hold a lead?

    I know...looking up and down this roster it might seem difficult to pinpoint that player (or players), but maybe we should start considering that these 4th quarter struggles will soon be overcome by the collective experience of this young unit.

    No way you buy him out, you hold onto his contract, make him wait it out, let him practice, and if someone gets injured or he gets a lot better you give him a shot.

    In the mean time you try to trade him to a team looking to clear cap space.

    But you don't just let him walk to another team, the Rockets are paying him, and he can be paid to sit.
