    Anybody believes that this trade is partially or mainly the result of locker room war- Tmac vs. Ron + Rafer

    Rafer traded and Ron gone for the summer

    Tmac win!

    if that were the case, it would say a lot about rockets management if it allowed someone like tmac to tear this team apart.

    No whole thing overblown.

    Everybody is over analyzing things right now.

    If a player that doesn't even play anymore and is probably the softest player in the NBA wins over 2 tough NBA players and one of them is an NBA all-star. That would be pathetic and this organization would need to be fixed big time.

    no no, you got it all wrong.

    I think the rox locker room wasn't big enough for 2 new yorkers. The 2 have been going at it since they were in NY during the rucker park days. DM had to make a swift decision. He flipped a coin to decide who would be traded. Rafer lucked out. - jk

    As JVG said before, you cannot have two knockleheads in the locker room. Probably many people didn't realize Rafer is a knocklehead. In fact, he is. You can recall his behaviour. At least, one of him and Artest must leave.

    Doubt Tmac has anything to do with this, your infulence is as great as your performance stands.

    So you think that's the end? No. Turwarrior vs. Tmac 2.0 is around the corner.

    Rafer is Pro-TMac
    he is T-Mac's boy
    I think him leaving is more of the shipping out the T-Mac supporters

    Rocket River
    . . .remember how when Rafer wasn't in the game. . T-Mac would not even try . . . .. good times. . .good times. .

    What can I say to tmac...

    SF3,Bonzi,Rafer,Artest...

    If Artest is as trivial as them, he should go too.

    Rafer n Artest, one must go. :( :( :(

    there is nothing about T-mac, he will out for all the remaining season and will be traded in the summer.It may be really what morey said, just upgrade the PG and also save money to evade the luxury tariff.

    Ron should just straight up give it to t-mac it would do the team a favor. T-Mac being the woman she is would probably run and hide in a bunker for years until the bad man went away.

    lol some of you act like Ron Artest just walks around beating people up.

    Hell he looked to be struggling in the fight in Detroit.

    Stack Jack and O'Neal are the ones that took care of business.
