    Did you not read the Doc Rocket posts last year? The team is not exactly enamored with Mr. Prima Donna.

    WOW! Pretty tough stretch of games headed our way. Heard about it, but just took a look for myself on the schedule.

    If there is any time that TMAC might sniff any pt.....it will be between now and mid January.

    Showcase for a trade.....or we be stinking up the joint.

    We don't exactly have a Tony Montana as a player on the team either. No one is saying he's the best teammate, but he certainly isn't a horrible one.

    Worth Repeating:


    Thank You

    I don't see how so many people missed it, but I guess we see only what we want to see.

    That was not bad at all. Even if he weren't joking, there's nothing wrong with saying a trade's a possibility. It's slightly disrespectful, but Alston once showed up to training camp as a dead man walking and had a great sense of humor about it. Professionals brush that off. JVG's joke about the Tsakalidis trade was much worse.

    This is just getting r****ded, and I'm not talking about Tracy playing or not playing.

    Something I've noticed about coach Adelman is that he says "he doesn't know" all the time. To me that’s a bit irritating. I'm sure he knows cause if he didn’t then that would be scary. Sure he doesn't want to lay all his cards out but say your looking at all your options. Don’t tell us you don’t know, that just sounds bad coming from a great coach.

    This is true. But more than 75% of Rocket fans want to see him play in a different uniform :cool: :p

    Except he's being ironic and saying the opposite.

    he's saying a trade isn't possible -that's the joke

    Reporter: Is it possible that you play T_mac tomorrow to fill in the gap for Ariza?

    Adlemam: (media STILL asking me after the long speech I gave last week???) "No" (He's not ready!)

    Adelman: "A trade is possible" (To fill in for Ariza for a day).

    Adelman: (Crap people are goign to think I meant trading T-mac, crap)

    Adelman: "I mean a one day trade" (Oh no, better tell my kids to stay away from Clutchfans for the next two weeks)

    doesn't appear like it on the practice vids that were shown recently or how his teammates talk to him on the bench.

    Actually it's not. Even after he was signed, Deke didn't play that many minutes so it would be foolish to assume he would've played more had he been signed earlier.

    Deke was the spirit leader of this team. The rockets should have shown more respect to him.

    That is not just about Deke. So far, Morey hasn't shown he has a good skill to handling people.

    What're you basing this on? Keep in mind that your Mutombo example has already been proven wrong.
