    yes. but the a.i. trade is better than the marbury one. a.i. is still starting and could be (with a 50-50 chance) the pg this team needs.

    I expect an apology from you for prematurely being a smartass. Again.

    S.A.S. could be full of crap. It was probably TMAC's trainer that told him that. (same dude who told y'all I guess)

    One more reporter saying it does not have me convinced with all this drama.

    So it seems like the story was something like this. The previous MRI revealed that he needs to have surgery. The information got leaked and Ch.2 declared T-Mac to be out for the season, but T-Mac did not believe it. He wanted to get second, third etc. opinion. Rockets said yea, we'll wait for other opinions and they said he is not out for the year. Fast forward to today, everyone is telling TMac that he needs to have surgery so TMac declares that he needs to have surgery. I feel bad for TMac. I guess we are now officially cursed :mad:

    I hope that Channel 2 actually follows up with the doctors and what each one thinks about the diagnosis.

    That is not the case at all

    james andrews said no need for surgery.

    You should probably wait till the day he actually goes under the knife.

    McGrady says he's having the surgery "immediately" on his own website so that should be soon enough.

    I want to know what that means exactly.

    For the sake of his career the sooner the better, it takes about 12 months to get back and playing.....and he is in a contract year, he will need at least 20 games at the end of next year for someone to offer him a decent contract.

    That would be great. What would be even better is that if Tmac told us who the mystery doctor is that said he needed microfracture surgery? I won't hold my breath.
