    Clyde Drexler in one trade did more than McGrady did in his entire career for a team.

    That is just plain stupid. Rockets were the defending champions and had hakeem in his prime. T-mac is far better player than drexler. T-mac was top 3 at the time. If T-mac was added that year, it would had been at least a three-peat.

    Drexler has been to 3 nba finals, 2 of them where he was the best player.

    only stupid people think that tracy was better than Drexler.


    NBA Championships
    Tracy 0 Drexler 1
    NBA Finals
    Tracy 0 Drexler 3
    Olympics Gold Medal
    Tracy 0 Drexler 1

    The only thing Tracy wins in is having more delusional uneducated fans.

    wrong. When tmacs wuz in h-town we had 13 in 33 yea boi never 4get. Also during da' playoffs there was that dunk on shawn bradley that made everyone and even john barry literally rofl. Also tmac wuz da scoring champion for two years in a row. If you also look at scoring its obvious that tmac scored more.

    How many second round games did Drexler ever play? It would be interesting to use that as a means of comparison to tracy.

    I'm pretty sure the Battier/Gay trade was the best of all times.

    Drexler has played in 101 more playoff games than McGrady.

    1. Clyde Drexler - 2nd championship
    2. Moses Malone
    [​IMG]
    3. James Harden - young (knock on wood) not injury prone star about to enter prime
    4. Tracy McGrady - steadily declined after trade
    5. Luis Scola - got him for free...ironically also let him go for free

    Drexler had been on great teams. T-mac got the worst team ever in orlando and ryan bowen as the starting forward during the playoffs.

    what? the best trade in rockets history is NOT james harden (probably not yet)

    Here are some notable great trades by rockets
    Tracy McGrady to Houston
    Clyde Drexler

    I dunno. There have been some good trades for us, but trading $50,000 to the Spurs for Vernon Maxwell certainly has to be considered.

    Spoken like a true TOF.
    Drexler was the BEST PLAYER on his Portland teams. He was considered MJ's rival.

    Drexler's career absolutely clubs McGrady's career like it was a baby seal.

    Yes, Tinman the 99ers are a special group. OT was an awesome PF and was a great Rocket--best enforcer we ever had.

    Lol at anyone putting McGrady over Drexler.

    Overall in terms of accomplishment? Drexler
    For Houston specifically? Still Drexler

    There may not be many of us, but your statements shines through the darkness of the GARM.

    thank you
