    Im wondering if he is doing this to avoid being traded.

    the word 'immediately' when just last week he was so cautious to get a second opinion.

    no official word from the Rockets yet.

    hmmmm. :confused:

    Screw future, I hate how guys talk about the future of the team. Do you want a NBA Championship sooner or later? We arent the f'n Thunder.

    Please name the other athletes who have come back after a few months or even 6-8 months and play anywhere near there level. We are talking about a dude who is scared of a paper cut and doesn't like rehabbing. 1 1/2 years is the estimate at best case scenario.

    I'm not going to question or doubt how much pain this guy is feeling in his knee, or his heart.

    I am, however, going to question and ridicule the hell out of this guy for how he's handled this whole situation.

    Totally classless, disrespectful and immature.

    This is TMac we are talking about! His recovery time is at least 2 times longer than the average.

    he said "immediately" so i foresee within this week. so a general one year rehab, possibly he could be back next year around after the all-star break. but i wouldn't put my hopes on that.

    Clearly, that post is not the truth or Tracy did not write it if he believes he has the best fans in the world. Anyhow, it's VERY GOOD NEWS !!! Finally the team can move on and focus on the other 13 guys.

    Funny how Morey was still hoping for the best or Tracy has messed with them again by going to the media instead of talking to the team. This proves that Tracy is a hypocrit and no different from others who talk to the media.

    That's never good. You just can't throw away everything he's done for this team.

    I hope (along with every decent Rockets fan) that T-Mac makes a full recovery. I don't necessarily expect it, but I'll be hoping for it. When healthy, he's nothing but a great positive to this organization.

    Yeah. A lot is riding on Yao.

    and
    I think we need a official thread christening Yao as the new scapegoat.

    It's the same s**t year after year with TMac. He gets hurt and says he will come back next year stronger and more dedicated. Instead, he gets another year older, loses another step and the team pays him more money on top of that. At this point in his career, he can't recover from surgery like a younger player. He's just a has-been who failed to live up to his promise. The sooner the team cuts ties with him, the better.

    if les stuck with him this whole time, i 'd expect him to stick with him if he comes back from the surgery. I wouldn't say with certainty he won't back with Houston.

    He speaks of getting his explosiveness back next season like microfracture surgery and the rehab is a walk in the park. It took Amare Stoudemire two years to feel like the old Amare and he was 23.

    Hopefully we can get something back for Tracy to help for
    our push this year, but I kind of doubt it... We can only pray.

    Lol..
    If only he visited this website..
    I do hope he comes back and proves all of the criticizers wrong.
    What some people post on here is ignorant, ridiculous, and sometimes disgusting.
