He can want 12 million but the reality is that nobody is going to offer him that much money unless he gets traded and plays like the old T-Mac and even then he may not get anything close to that. He's probably going to get no more than the mid-level exception.
You know, I've only been on this board for a short time but I already can tell, from reading your posts, that you think you know so much more than anyone else. You're always insulting people calling them simple, teenagers, etc. just because you don't agree with what they're posting. Grow up man. You don't know half as much as you think you do.
Dave, and to all who love to say they have faith in the "Houston Rockets" and Morey really need a reality check. These guys are humans, they are in no way perfect saints. Some people around here need to really jump off the Morey and Adelman's bandwagon..... Everything so far has played out right but the moment the ship sinks (not saying it will and hopefully does not) if the ship sinks people will be out to stone them also. Also, no comments on your age ignorance. Its just getting old dude, no offense taken for I am not a teenager but I guess you have to be in order to have a diffrente point of view, you know one outside the bandwagon....
You must really LOVE DaDa then. I used to think Dave was just a T-Mac hater, and the rest of his takes were very good. Now that T-Mac has kinda turned almost all the old school Rocket fans against him there isnt much that Dave pops up I that dont agree with. He's usually right, regardless of the tone of his post.
I can't understand how you can say that T-Mac is done yet you want to get a Kevin Martin type player in return. If he's done then you should expect to get garbage back not a player the caliber of Kevin Martin.
It's not jumping on the bandwagon. It's taking the opinion of the professionals who have a proven track record over people on a discussion forum who have not even been around long enough to demonstrate the least bit of knowledge about this current Rockets team or basketball in general. It's also about seeing with my own eyes what this team was and what it is. We have enough "what if?" and "he got screwed" threads about McGrady. People continuing this nonsense deserve to be ridiculed because their notions regarding this topic are, in fact, ridiculous. As far as the age comments, we'll never know but I'd bet my bottom dollar that the vast majority of the TOF are teens. That's the only thing that explains the irrational love for one player who has never done anything other than fill up some highlight reels on youtube.
The Rockets are not going anywhere in the playoffs with the current team. 2nd round appearance at best. It would have been very intriguing and enjoyable as a fan to see what adding T-Mac could have done for the team for the rest of the season (or until they decided to trade him). I don't count 6 or 7 7-minute spurts as a true evaluation. I truly do not understand how evaluating T-Mac longer in a low-pressure season would have been so abhorrent for Adelman/Morey.
DaDa is ok.... I dont always agree with him but he only goes after those who deserve it... It's a matter of respect for others views, thats why its a forum... I have never called a T-Mac hater stupid or ignorant because it be inmature and ignorant. I do respect they're view I just dont respect the way they act as if they're word is fact and never opinion. We as fans should not be against each other.
These T-Mac threads will never stop. If we trade him for garbage there will be a thread on that. If can't trade him, there will be a thread on that. If we don't buy him out, there will be a thread on that. If we trade him and he plays and sucks, there will be a thread on that. If we trade him and he comes back to be the old T-Mac there will be a thread on that. Unfortunately, it will never end.
It ends when posters stop thinking their thoughts on the same tired topic deserve to have their own thread day after day when they should be going into an already existing thread. How many different "Rockets done T-Mac Wrong" songs do we need??
And I agree, some people do tend to come here talking and talking and talking about nonsense... Status should be earned, I am a member of a supra club online and we do not let the rookies sell or buy things because we dont know who they are and might just be there to scam people. I am willing to shut up and put up with the veterans, its just soo much crying around here over this topic and not enough actually talking about it. Still it is old and im tired of it, nobody will agree with nobody so it makes it even more fustrating...
Im done, but I just don't want to see the Rockets end up like the Hornets and Jazz, teams that overachieved thought they were real contenders but now have come back to reality, when the piece they need to complete the puzzle is right their in there face. By the time you guys realize that another 3-5 years will be passed and Rockets will just be looking to rebuild again.
I think part of the reason for it is that - for better or worse - this is such a major decision that the Rockets have made regarding T-Mac and it has elicited strong reactions. I think even 5 years from now we will look back on this decision as an important one (hopefully for the better - we'll see. . .)
I think the whole problem w t-mac wherever he has been is at some point it all comes down to issues only he can fix. It's the big three, attitude, effort, and willingness to be a true team mate. He has always played well enough to be mentioned with the elite but the elite don't seem to have the problems with chemistry and leading by example like t-mac does. He overstayed his welcome in orlando where his attitude and effort made that senario ugly when it traveled all the way up to the gm. It might not seem to be the best thing for houston right now but orlando magic went to the championship last year and seem to be better off without him.
Unfortunately there's just as many "T-Mac did the Rockets wrong" threads as well. I agree with you. There should be two threads. One for those in favor of keeping T-Mac even though he's pretty much out of here and one for those he want to get rid of him.
sorry but, do you really expect that they will ever be at "full strength". with both stars coming off massive injuries, and the past history of injuries. It might be time for change, just maybe.
