I'm wondering
1.By this kind of remark,what's Tmac's intention?
2.and what's his plan for his next contract?
3.If he wants to stay a Rocekt with a Max contract, should he get it?
4.If he decides to take a pay cut to help win a championship here, should be loved again?
5.most importantly,what's gonna happen between T-mac and the team after this season?

Pls someone help me answering these with rationale. Hatred doesn't help i'm afraid.

You totally missed the point. Mcgreedy clearly stabbed Yao behind his back in his talk. " If he can play with Shaq..." clearly said this.

Oh,Yao have never said that if he can play with Kobe LBj,Pierce.
HOw could MEmac say this?

Then why didn't he ask to be traded, instead of choosing surgery to avoid it. The answer is so clear and he knows it as well. The guy is such a hypocrite.

To be absolutely honest, he is right.

Before last season none of the teams where anything except at best average and usually he and Yao were injured so much they have barely played more then a season and a half together in total games.

Although his examples of teams he could succeed with are a bit off. Anyone could win with the current Celtics team, and Shaq during his prime wasn't a complete difference maker because the teams he won with in LA and Miami weren't slouching for talent either. The sad thing is, T-Mac could have won with this Rockets team we have now and maybe even the one last season if Yao was available, but fate isn't always kind to almost superstar level players.

Ask Grant Hill, AI, Reggie Miller, Patrick Ewing, Gary Payton, Charles Barkley, Karl Malone, Calvin Murphy, etc. Just cause you have the talent and some of the drive doesn't mean you can go far.

As a Chinese fan ,I am angry. What he said is just unreponsible.

Totally agreed.
And if rox trade T-mac for 20M-worth superstar.
And the current rox would be the contender for Championship.

Well tmac, you just may get your wish of playing on one of those
teams. We're doing just fine without you. Thanks for nothing.

LOL...Sounded to me like he wants to be traded to the Celtics.....for Paul Pierce. Hey T-Wac (not.....gonna....happen)

Can you say foot in mouth syndrome? Cause you got it.

Good luck rehabbing your knee. Get well so we can trade you OK.

What comes to my mind when I read this is not even so much a jab at his teammates, but it is a slight one. This tells me exactly what I figured all along, he wants to be paid like a superstar and put up stats, but when it comes time in the playoffs to win he does not want to be the man to lead a team on a run. It sounds like he wants to be the sidekick and ride the coat of another star who has the mental toughness to actually lead a team. How can you be paid over $20 mil and complain you have not had enough talent on his team to win? He should be the talent.

He does not have a winner's mentality and never will!

The only other explanation of why T-Mac said something like that is his IQ and EQ is very low.

Maybe you need a history lesson. All of those players have won conference championships during their careers with the exception of Grant Hill. TMac is fools gold and cant even win a single play off series even when he is spoted a 3-1 series lead or a 2-0 series lead with 3 games left at home or 2-0 series lead with game seven at home.

Tracy McLazy sucks and is nothing more than fools gold. He is a failure and it is his own lazy ass fault. He could not hold those other players jocks.
