The only prob with the power hour is you have to listen to that yankee Rich. I'm fine with most the other guys from that station, he just get's under my skin even more than Charlie.
The championship teams at least had some good relationships on the teams. Dream/Clyde.... Horry/Cassell/Elie.... Kenny/Mad Max.... These guys rolled together and enjoyed each other company. Tmac is a loaner and has never been good at interacting with his teammates. Check him out on InDmix.com, he's rarely with some of his teammates and the fact that he never shows up to sit on the bench like Artest and Battier has to bother the other players due to his lack of support.
Damage control. Every big business organization has to be well versed in it. I'm thinking Yao told the person who carried the news to the reporter "get him out of here", "he needs to go". Meaning if McGrady isnt showing the dedication and commitment to the team (and keeps talking in Yao's ear his priceless advice) he might as well be gone, and we have to move on with or without him. But even if Yao didnt directly say get rid of him for good (who knows really) because its from Yao its especially surprising he'd talk bad about a teammate and give up on them.
Clyde nor dream hung with anyone. Those guys all went their seperate ways. Dream was a devout muslim and clyde was a married man. Kenny,Sam,max,elie, and horry hung, but none of the other did.
This post is all speculation. Not saying it's not true, but so far the rumours have yet to be substaniated.
