    Yep, let them deal with this...cancer. Glad we got rid of it. Something tells me it's going to be calling Rick Adelman and Daryl Morey assholes pretty soon. It wouldn't surprise me one bit.

    Is D'Antoni expecting McGrady to run?

    When McGrady interprets D'Antoni's "seven seconds or less" offense as the freedom to pull out as many heat checks as possible... :grin:

    “I didn't know. I really didn't know,” McGrady said. “And that's just the unfortunate situation, that I just like for management to be upfront and honest with me. That's all I ask, honesty. And if we can't sit and have a conversation eye to eye and be honest with me, then all the respect and trust goes out the window.”

    Eye to eye you say?

    So, should we bring two people and sit them on opposite sides of the room for this meeting? Because otherwise it's going to be tough to meet your expectations.

    This took 7 pages?

    He's always trying to say that he was the victim and he did not get the Rockets support. If he was man enough to show he cares for the Rockets and be a true leader on and off the court things would have been much different. Hope he ends up playing well the rest of the season and keep his mouth shut otherwise history will always repeat itself on whatever team he's on.

    What do you mean? TMac said he wanted to be traded, the Rockets granted that. TMac said that the Knicks were one team he'd like to go to, and the Rockets made that possible. Do the Rockets have any obligation to allow TMac to listen in on any of the deals that are going on? No. The Rockets hid nothing from McGrady. They said they would trade him and they traded him to a team that TMac requested.

    OMG McGrady shut your mouth! Rockets MGT was just trying to get back at you! Eye for an eye, b****! That's what professionalism is all about!

    Pulling his balls? How so? The guy had microfracture surgery just months before the season started...how many times did he say he was ready last year, only to come in for a couple games and have it be determined that he wasnt ready?

    Just because TMac thought he was ready does not mean he actually was ready.

    Well, I will miss how T-Mac speaks whatever is on his mind, right or wrong. Too many players these days give cookie cutter interviews and only say the right stuff and things you want to hear. But never have they truly feel.

    Oh how I hate the people who make this post. As per clutchfans. "Even the slow can talk about ex rocket Tracy Murray"

    It's right there in plain view.

    oh boo hoo. i used to like him but the way he handled the situation with him being hurt, not wanting to get traded then getting a surgery so that he wouldn't get traded, made me think twice about him.

    he's a ****y. i hope he's gone from the league in 2-3 years, durant's the real deal, he's what tracy could have been.

    T-Mac needs to shut up. He got paid 23 million this year for doing nothing...not to mention the past years with all his injuries. The Rockets Management made it to where he was able to play where he wanted to play in New York by agreeing to this three way trade. Rockets have been disrespected by McGrady! Bottom line! When he gets hurt again he needs to make sure he tells the team before the paper or twitter. Honesty, truthfulness and respect... C'Mon maaaaaaaaannnnnn!

    I think he feels bitter that he wasn't allowed back in...that he tried to do the right stuff - rehab correctly, cheer his teammates on, and play the act, but that it wasn't enough to get him back in good with management.

    So he's complaining. That's what people do. Anyway, I hope he does well with NY but that they still suck enough next year that we end up with the number 2 pick in the draft.
