    T-Mac is the ex-gf you secretly want to come back to you...

    but you know it can't happen so you really wish her the best in her next relationship

    Mcgrady was like a totally different player in the game when he got the ball in the post. i dont understand why the pistons cant go to him more often. Its just too many guys who need the ball. But mcgrady has the most impressive resume out of any pistons so hopefully eventually he becomes the number one scoring option.

    T-Mac looks good. A bunch of NBA teams could use him right now (including Houston)

    I honestly would not mind giving him 2-4 million dollars next year, but I assume McGrady will want to join a contender like Boston or Miami so he can guarantee a 2nd round birth.

    I've been harping on this thread for a while that T-mac is a perfect fit for the Rockets team (system and second unit).

    It will never happen after the Toronto game. But he would easily be the best 2 guard on the Chicago Team if they had signed him.

    One important factor though is I think the Detroit Trainer is excellent. His been through two systems (Houston/New York) with little or no progress. Maybe or medical teams are just whacked?

    You would think so, but they need his playmaking skills more so on the top of the key where he can find the cutters or find the other players especially off the pick and roll.They usually use him as a post player when Stuckey or Prince are the primary ball handlers.

    yea i understand that but i just think they use him as a scorer too sparingly. I would like to see them go to him more often.

    Detroit's Trainer must be a shrink because T-Mac has admitted his problem are in his head. Something I have agreed with before his last operation. He cost himself 10's of millions because of his fake injury antics. That has to be some kind of mental psychosis. I do like watching him play so I hope he doesn't miss any more meetings with his shrink.

    Fake injury. Did you see his dunk attempt against the Bucks or the way he was moving before his Surgey. His knee was a mess. Honestly some people are beyond help. Yeah had the microfracture surgery for the heck of it. :rolleyes:

    wow really. Just because he admitted it was part mental doesn't mean he wasn't playing with pain. Nobody goes limping out on the court in and out of the lineup to micro surgery to almost completely irrelevant in basketball to three different teams over a year n half because they faked it. What could have possibly been his motive for wanting to fake the injury

    Seriously? I can think of so many arguments to this:

    - The doctors TOLD him that there WILL be pain and that he needs to play through it and allow his muscles to recover and strengthen.
    - T-Mac has a very low tolerance to pain. I am guessing you forgot how he took himself out of the lineup before tip off and Ron Ron had to put himself back in with an ankle swollen almost twice the size of the other ankle.
    - Microsurgery was never a recommended option. He had to find a doctor who was willing to recommend it. Surgery for him was the easy way out and help prevented the team he though had the best chance of winning for him from trading him.
    - Microsurgery needs recovery and rehab. First T-Mac says he didn't need it, that he was 100% (same thing Grover said) and then later on said he just had surgery and needed time to recover. T-Mac is about as consistently straight as a circle.
    - Same reason why many other players fake injuries; to force a trade, sabotage a trade, or not to play. This has been done for a long time and is nothing surprising.

    Why do TOF always look for excuses for this broken diva who can't shut his mouth?

    LOL...it would be more interesting then the product Rockets are currently offering. At least there was some pointless drama with Yao/Tmac.

    He went from $20 million/year salary to $1 million because he was faking his injury. Righttttttttt......

    You can probably argue a ton of adjectives (good and bad) about Tracy but nobody is that stupid when it comes to money. Let's not let our personal biases blind us from logic.
