    You shouldn't necessarily take what Les said at face value.

    He very well may have come out with that knowing the deal fell through.

    He should get run out of town if he tries to pull that off.

    Sure, since every physical he got so far says he can and needs to play through the discomfort?? :confused:

    It's hard to believe that T-Mac could get traded this time, even without the latest update on his knee.

    The real problem is nobody know the credibility of anything come out from Tmac's mouth. Remember a couple weeks ago when he took that 2 weeks rest he said something like "he feels really good, you are going to see the old Tmac, blah...", and then he was talking "the pain never goes away" yesterday.

    Your right he shouldn't announce his injury, he should just rehab some more instead of wasting his time announcing he's out for the reason.

    Exactly. That is why you don't know if he really is telling the truth. He may very well be saying this as a facade to evade a trade. Which is understandable since his family and home is in houston and he's been saying how much he loves living in houston.

    I created a thread entitled "Tmac use surgery to avoid getting traded" and it's got deleted.

    I don't see why this thread is any difference. Let people speak their mind. It maybe truth what Tmac did is in fact trying to avoid getting traded. I mean why else would he not EVEN talk to his coach before making a decision?? And why at a time when Nets and Rockets were talking about a deal involving him as the deadline approach?? Understand that a there are players that have lived in Houston for a long time and they don't want to move....i am sure if you live here a long time you don't want to move your family somewhere else...so this could be a desperate attempt by Tmac to stay in Houston.

    Tracy would pass that physical with flying colors . The knee thing is bogus. How many doctors have cleared the guy to play. He torpedoed any potential trade with the microfracture BS.

    I don't know. I just provided a espn source to show that the deal could've went through if he didn't announce it. But I know clutch talked about it being "fishy" on his article with Adelman being unhappy with tmac hiding the injury from the organization. And yeah, I know exactly what you are saying about relocating.

    Yeah i'm not convinced about the knee requiring microfracture surgury at all. I mean didn't the MRI show no damage to the knee AT ALL???

    it was closed because I started the same thread hours earlier...the same as this one. I'm sure Clutch will lock this as well.

    The only difference in this thread is that the OP isn't getting flamed like I did for suggesting he announced it prematurely and without team agreement/consent to kill any trades

    I didn't realize it was posted before. But I hope its not locked since I provided source about the trade would have gone through had he NOT announced the injury.
