    Man, I really wanted to see McGrady out there, he can't be worse than Ariza. But trading him now might be the best thing to do for the future, and for Yao Ming's return...

    I will lose respect for Morey/Adelman if they pull a Marbury. :(

    Dr. McGrady wanted microfracture. Dr. Adelman wants to excise the cancer.

    Interesting because Trevor thinks Tracy will be the old Tracy after a few games under his belt. Just heard him talk about Tracy on SR610. Hope this report is not entirely true.

    I think Adelman is going to really hurt his reputation here. He hinted at it in his last few quotes that he just didn't like T-mac.

    I think it goes back to last year but man, it's weird to hold a grudge. It's one thing to say, I'll only play a guy if he conforms to my system.

    But to just ice him? Without even giving that option? That's tough.

    Preeeeettty sure Rick would leak this information to Daryl before another source would leak it to Clutch...

    Unless Clutch is insanely in the inside of the Rox front office.

    Tmac wore out his welcome with Coach Adelman last season when he failed to tell the team first that he was going to have microfracture knee surgery, opting to blog it on his website.

    If Rick doesn't want to play him then he isn't going to play. T-mac could also file a grievance with the player's union. This has turned in a complicated issue now.

    Rick Adelman doesnt want to play him. But does Les not want to play him? Les loves McGrady and will probably force Adelman to play him.

    All of these dramas won't help marketing the player (TMac).

    You cannot simply buy out a contract that big. The thing has value. As many good free agents as there will be, 20 million coming off the books (and getting a half-season rental of a decent to good player to boot..) is worth something. If I'm Morey I trade TMac for young potential, a first round pick that has some value, and filler.

    I don't a see a reason to not give him a chance. Just bench the guy if he's playing bad.

    Rick rather have ariza jack up bad shots over tmac. At least we know tmac can hit some of those bad shots.

    I really hope that they keep most of this under wraps... The more information leaked about how Tmac and the Rox arent on good terms will drive his stock down even further and its already pretty low.

    There is nothing the union can do if the Rockets are paying his contract, they don't have to play him one second.

    At the end of the day, I think this is all repairable, but Tracy has to swallow a lot of his pride, and apologize to the team, his teamates, the organization and his coach.

    If he can swallow a little humble pie, they might be able to reconcile.....if not, well.......he will be isoed.

    If Adelman truly feels this way, then you can bet your ass that he already told Morey. And you can also bet that Morey is working that phone 24/7 looking for a favorable deal for both the Rocket's and McGrady's sake.
