    "He was traded"? Who would've been the team and who were the player/s?

    Some people are being hypocrites... You don't want him in and out of the lineup, but you are going to sit him for 2 games..

    You don't like how he handled the situation last year, but you handle it just as bad this year.

    Somethings don't make sense, but of course some people have stuff to say about it being good, lol.. really and I agree el_locoteee

    It was common knowledge who was involved right around trade deadline last year... It was all over this board...

    Mr. Landry was having knee issues at the time, Morey did what was required of him to get the job done. If anyone else wanted him badly enough they would have signed him....


    T-Mac is a drama queen, the guy loves getting all the attention, its been like that since his Raptor days, a few of the reporters (here in toronto) loved talking to him just cause he would talk all day and love it.....he needs to learn to shutup and follow the rules. The guy has been trouble everywhere he has gone, this isn;t anything new....

    To be honest, even an %80 Tmac is better than Ariza right now. Ariza cant hit the broad side of a barn right now and his defense hasnt been as good as it should be.

    Just let the man play. We can always trade him later. Benching him for 2 games isnt gonna improve the situation in any fashion i can discern. It pisses off Tmac and makes him look worse to potential trade partners.

    What do I expect him to do? Glad you asked.

    I expect him to BUST HIS ASS for all 8 minutes, work within the flow, play as hard as he can on offense and defense.

    Force the coach to play him more minutes....because he doesn't want to take him off the floor.

    THAT, is what I expect him to do.

    Thank you my good man. I hope my contributions help in the underlying of this fairly quaint commotion. Good Day.

    But he did it with low tactics. So don't apologize him. Don't a be hypocrite, if is bad for the play is bad for the GM too.

    Have to agree with you on this. It's funny how people have been saying the management is handling this right the right way and being professional despite of all of the things you mentioned that they did. While when it comes to players, it's either they want a big-fat contract or just being selfish. :mad:

    I don't remember. The only trade speculation I read was the story from the Sacramento Bee but they claimed the Kings had no interest.

    Correct, its a business so what T-Mac did last year wasn't a business move?

    The organization is getting a little hypocritical right now, if there is no trade coming. They didnt want him in and out of the lineup, but they are taking him out now... They didnt like how he handled it last year, so he tries hard to get back and they do this to him.

    I will always be a fan of the Rockets organization, but man, this is getting ugly for no reason
