[Clutchfans]Adelman has no interest in playing Tmac

The big question is has Adelman told McGrady this in the meetings they had?

Maybe McGrady knows this and just has decided to keep his mouth shut about it which is hard to believe by his history.

 

He was shunned last year before negotiating that rather ugly and lengthy buyout with NY. Then, of course, he signed with Boston mid-season.

 

I love Tracy. I hope he can retire in Huston

 

There is no way the rockets as an organisation are going about this the best way. He is a part of the team and whilst mcgrady was at fault probably last year, the organisation has not exactly gone about things the best way this year.

 

Did Marbury's original contract expire at the end of the 08-09 season? If so, your point is irrelevant.

 

I for one want to see him play. If not here, then somewhere!! All parties involved have tried to paint themselves as right.

A tiring Rockets' fan...

 

Yes they have, they realize this team is not going to win with our without Tracy, and they also know that Tracy is probably going to walk, why help him when it would just be for his next team?

They are looking out for their own best interests.

I've ignored every rumor thus far, but Clutch has unquestionable credibility.

Time to face the music.

I like T-Mac though and hope he can find a home somewhere without torching the us down the road. I have this feeling he is still an elite player.

Trading for the rights to Rubio is interesting. I just don't feel like we would be trading from a position of strength. You want to sell high, and McGrady is not high right now. Plus it sounds like the Wolves might already know we want Rubio badly. Never a good starting bargaining position.

 

Wow some of you guys wear blinders, its amazing T-back has any fans left at all.

The guy is a known quitter, did it in Toronto to be THE MAN in Orlando, but then wanted another star on his team so he quit the Majic. Came to Houston, kept saying this is the best team he's played with, then couldn't win so he states that he would win with Shaq or Wade.

The man is a complete train wreck everywhere he has gone....Adelman is a brilliant coach, he's been good with stars before, somehow T-Mac even gets to this guy....



I have said from day one that we wouldn't win with this guy.......and I was right.

 

McGrady's contract is worth more than other expiring contracts because:

1. A lot of the dollars are covered by insurance.
2. It is twice as big as most expiring contracts. The only other expiring contract with value similar to McGrady's is Mobley's and Mobley's is only $9.5 million. With McGrady's contract, teams like New Orleans, Washington, etc., could "start over" by taking his contract and shipping out their stars or bad contracts and their #1 draft pick. I wouldn't be surprised if there is a monster deal on the table with New Orleans giving New Orleans McGrady, Cook, and other junk in exchange for CP3, PJ, and Okafor or a modified deal giving N.O McGrady and Cook for Peja, Okafor and New Orlean's 2010 first rounder. That we either get a superstar (CP3) or we get a high first round draft pick that we can then use to try to acquire another talent now, say sending Battier/Landry/Cook/Lowry and other junk along with N.O. first rounder for Chris Bosh.

There are plenty of moves that could be made with McGrady's contract. It is all up to Morey to pull the best deal. I believe he will.

 

Sorry, Clutch and Yoyo.
All I hear is this source and that source. I will believe it when I see Adelman conceding in front of the press crowd.

 

Even if they wanted to, no other team in the League, can offer $13 million cash to the T-Wolves for Rubio's rights. McGrady's insurance makes that happen.

 

This is what I thought too.... Until Clutch broke the news that "Adelman has no interest in playing Tmac". Why break that news now? All it does his hurt his value.

 

Adelman is spiteful, Morey is shady, Les's background is somehow a problem,.. and now Clutch isn't trustworthy?

 

So they don't think he brings $200,000 in value to the court and would rather just keep collecting the checks? hmmm.

I fear that when Clutch says this could get ugly it means Starbury ugly. If he's traded it won't be that ugly. If he stays and doesn't play - now we're talking ugly.

 

my feeling exactly. first i thought it may be an old man showing his stubbornness. but for a coach like adelman, i want to believe he's got his reasons, and good ones.

at this point, i trust adelman more than mcgrady.

 

I hope this source is not a Yahoo writer in disguise.

 

I'm going to go on record and admit that I was wrong, if this is true.

I hope that good comes out of this somehow. Rockets for life.

 

This situation is going to be epic Clutchfans fun.

 

7 years on this board and I've never seen Clutch be wrong with intel.

Add to that what it obvious in Adelman's own words...

and that T-mac obviously knows as well - why else would he don the uniform but as a symbolic act that he is still a Rocket....all of this.

He'd done as a Rocket in my opinion. The damage is irreversible. It was done back last year when he ended his season not by going to Adelman but to the media. At that point, RA wrote him off and clearly didn't care what he did.

T-macs efforts were for naught in terms of Houston. It's kinda sad...but you know what, we're just fans at the end of the day. We don't get a choice or a decision.

If it were up to me, I'd want to see RA and Morey say to T-mac, "You can play, but only if you play RA's offense, and your PT will be based on that, not on the numbers you put up".

I would have hoped he would be given that option, but I think he could ad a lot to this team.

Oh well, I'm just a fan.
