    He didnt say anything negative about Yao. It was the writer who mentioned the playoff loses. All Mcgrady said is he thinks about how he could have played with Howard. Makes sense since Howard is on the team Mcgrady used to play for.

    Yao also called Dwight Howard a great player. Whats the big deal about what Mcgrady said?

    In regards to Howard he is good but I believe Yao is a better center right now. T-Mac call praise Howard all he wants it looks good if and when he decides to head back to his true home.

    Not a big deal, but it would have been nice if Mcgrady had said he wanted to end his career in Houston when asked about possibly rejoining the Magic when his contract ends.

    Exactly....why the hell would you think about playing with another center when your here struggling and trying to fix what's wrong. Maybe this is why were struggling so much is because our "chuckker" is always thinking about playing somewhere else instead of focusing on his own team...what a loser!

    umm players praise each other all the time. During Yao's rookie year, Allen IVERSON called Yao, "a gift from god". Oh wait, three years later, he got traded to Denver. I guess you are right. :rolleyes:

    T-mac got too much free time

    YO! T-MAC! The Free throw line is over THERE . . How about instead of interviews
    you try to chuck some from there to the basket and have them go in at an above 80 percent clip!

    Sorry, but I definitely see a problem here. This wasn't a matter of Knee-Mac saying he thought Howard was good or that he has a bright future. He said he often thinks and talks about playing with Howard and that "you never know" when it comes to him going back to Orlando to play with Howard. If I was Yao or any other member of the Rockets I would not be happy about this.

    That's disrespectful and it shows (again) that this punk is constantly looking to jump to greener pastures. I'm sure it has never crossed his mind that that reason he experiences failure wherever he goes is because he is the problem. It's a shame that this guy has so much talent but all he thinks about is the next guy he can freeload his way to success off of.

    Trade him for someone with some heart and pride.

    I'm sure Tracy is thinking about how nice it would be to play with a rebounding machine who can snatch up all his bricks and give it back to him for more bricks.

    i see the same problem. maybe he wants yao traded for howard. but he knows yao's too valuable to this organization for that to happen. so he quits... ok. i made that up.... :p

    not the fact that he is saying howard is a good player. its the fact he says **** like

    "Oh yeah, I think about that a lot," McGrady admitted Tuesday. "And when I'm with my (Orlando-based) trainer (Wayne Hall), we talk all the time about how good me and Dwight could have been together."

    WTF dude I don't care how big a stiff Yao is he is still your teammate. Get the **** out of here. I want Tmac gone

    I agree. It's one thing to praise another player, while its absolutely another thing when you say you day dream about playing with another. This is not Kwame Brown or Chris Kaman we are talking about here, its Yao... So T-mac bailed out on Orlando, and now that things are not working out as planned in Houston, he wants out again? Is quitting a chronic thing for him? Jeez.
