I am beginning to think now that the main reason why Morey traded Alston was that he was the only guy on the team that had any semblance of chemistry with McGrady and that was only because he had grown so used to just handing the ball off to him. Mgmt knew that McGrady had played his last game with the team and it was time to develop some better chemistry and they decided it would be better to try that with Kyle Lowry than to stay with Rafer.

Didn't Doc Rocket mention that Rafer, Yao, and Shane all thought Tracy was a bum? I'm pretty sure that Rafer was as disgusted by Mac's behavior.

McGrady is probably most likely staying. Some reasons why:
1. Rockets know hes in contract year and HE will rehab and might come back strong.
2. They can just let his contract expire and get the money from there.
3. Why would they trade him when he has no value at all?

There ya go

I agree with that. TMac will be playing for money so he is gonna rehab hard. He may stay here.

Exactly who's gonna take T-Mac's Expiring contract in 09 and at what cost to us? Would we be taking a longer contract back? Is it worth giving up a potential shot at the exclusive 2010 class like acquiring a Dwyane Wade, Amare, etc. They'll be feelers out there to figure out if we don't resign T-Mac who would come here before the off season hits.

Because if we don't attract a star in that year i would argue we're better off trying to resign T-Mac for a 2 year deal and hope Yao and a strong supporting cast can stay healthy for a change and still continue to be a legit title contender.

To all the ones that says and/or believes one of the following:

"When we get a healthy McGrady back..."
"If TMac came back healthy..."
"When TMac comes back and plays like normal..."

What have you guys been watching? It's one thing to be a big fan of a player but it's another to be blinded by the fact that this guy will never be the same McGrady ever again...and that's even before this season began.

I agree Tmac is done as a 'superstar'. I think he'll be fortunate health-wise and career-wise if he can even get well enough play again at even a Grant Hill type of level--solid, but not extraordinary.

It is not he has average teams, it is he makes every his team average.

Shaq? Duncan? He is the Mr. 20M man.

This may be his team:

C: Shaq
PF: TD
SF: LBJ
SG: himself
PG: CP

This guy, T-whateverac, is behaving loser and talking b****.

Tracy Lamar McGrady said:

"I haven't been the guy who's been fortunate enough to play with Shaq, to play with Tim Duncan. I always seem to have average teams,'' he said. "You take me back in my Orlando days with Shaq? Come on, there are no questions. You take a healthy me and switch me out with Paul Pierce [on the current Celtics]? There's no question. There's definitely no question.''

I know several of you have already replied to this quote... but... really? Poor unfortunate $21-million-going-on-$23-million-making Tracy McGrady. So unfortunate.

Ron Artest is encouraging Yao to up his game by getting more momentum-changing blocks like the one against LeBron.

T-Mac 'Camp Chen-a-wanda' throws Yao under the bus completely and calls his team average.

And what does he mean about the Orlando days with Shaq? What is he insinuating? No question that they'd beat Houston in '95? What a hater.
