    I work in the service industry and today i was helping this gentlman out and after a minute or 2 i noticed he was one of the rockets greats. i cant unveil his name to to the fact that he has anther apt with my buissnes within the next week and hope to get some more insight on the team. i asked him what he thought of our team and he said that we had a good team but needed a big and spoke highly of yao. He then went on to say "we need to get rid of tracy". so i asked him why and he said because tracy was "sellfish and didnt want to play or help this team only when it favored him" any how this gentlman is one of the rockets greats and his jersey hangs in the toyota center so i think that says alot. dont get me wrong im not hatin on tracy by any means but he did have a point. sorry i didnt get a pic or reveal his name. who knows he might be on this bbs and after reading this not conversate with me when he returns . Next time ima try and get a pic or a autograph and deepr insight. :grin:

    Most likely, you are speaking of Calvin Murphy, whose words should be digested with a grain of salt.

    If it took minutes to recognize the guy then its either CD or Murphy. Murphy being notorious for being outspoken. Had you mentioned him say Francis was the best Rocket player it would be a lock.

    Nice to see CD admit that the McGrady experiment did not work out as planned.

    I assume you aren't in the dictionary-selling business.

    has to be clyde, i cant see murphy saying "tracy", he'd probably say "mcgrady" or "tmac"...CD on the other hand should be on a first name basis with Tmac by now..

    uhm it took you that long to recognize one of the 6 greatest players/members of the rockets? i mean its pretty obvious that its murphy everyone else you would have looked at twice at least because of their size

    Thanks for sharing, I guess. Even at it's best the statement that you just regurgitated is pure speculation and carries no weight or significance at all when trying to make an educated guess or two as to what Morey's next move will be. Just because a Rockets legend thinks we should deal Tracy doesn't mean the actual organization shares that opinion.

    Did he have a mustache? Was he twirling a baton?
