[Clutchfans]Adelman has no interest in playing Tmac

this year is intersting

 

Adelman knows more about the situation than we do, including everything that went down last year.

Adelman is known as a player's coach; he obviously sees some flaw in McGrady's game or character or whatever, and if he feels this is the appropriate approach then I'm for it.

 

Hey trust me bud, Im with you. I'd just love to see Mcgrady on the floor. Half build up from not seeing him for a year, and the other half being because their was a time when I really believed in him. Problem is, the Rockets arent thinking like we are. They seem to want him gone or at least not around. This summer, similair things were said about Ron Artest and he ended up gone. Maybe they think playing Mcgrady on a contract year is doing him a favor. I just want the insanity around here to end.

 

It's about the contract.... Not the player...

 

This is a good move by Adelman. T-Mac is not that good anymore at Basketball.

 

There are no .500 and better teams that will be able to clear enough space without gutting their current team.

It is not that teams would not be willing to take a chance on him, it is they can not AFFORD to take that chance.

TMac's contract is the issue here, more than anything else.

Well, can someone explain to me how TMac can be traded and us not take back $23 mil. in contracts? I might entertain the idea for Bosh or CP3, but either deal would come with other some horrific contracts. Love Cook while you've got him. :grin:

But if this is true - RA not wanting anything to do do with TMac, then we do have to Marbury him.

For real, and I'm disappointed but not surprised.

 

Put down the monitor.... Poor guy, I think it finally just hit him. Yep, its true man. I know this could be a big shock all at once and all, but take a deep breathe. You got a few months before anything happens Im sure, lol.

 

Grudge?

That's oversimplifying. Tmac is a drama queen, WAY too high maintenance, and screwed over the team last year. Why coddle him? Why ruin chemistry?

 

Exactly and why not add him to a team that has proven they can beat some good teams. If we can't trade him lets see if he can do some good for us.

Please people don't give me this he will get in the way of developing Trevor Ariza. I can see Chase Budinger but it is mind boggling when people say he can hinder the development of Trevor Ariza. Ariza has been in the NBA long enough to know what you're going to get from him.

 

Not only Rick but also many Rox fans have no interst in talking about T-Money....

 

I agree. I will just be glad when all this ends. Either he plays for us or we trade him. I'm tired of the speculation.

 

I know what you're saying and i'm not overlooking his ginormous contract. I'm not trying to pretend like we're talking about trading your average, run-of-the-mill $5-6M player here. But at the same time, there are plenty of borderline .500 teams and pretenders out there with the resources necessary to complete such a deal. Teams that would LIKE to cut salary while remaining competitive, in a perfect world. With a healthy, productive T-Mac....he's an option.

But we all saw what happened last year with Marbury. Pretty much the same situation, it looks like (sadly). Massive expiring contract with the only teams interested were lottery teams looking to play the Summer 2010 game.

If trading him is the desired option, I want him out there showing he's still a capable player. Building up his trade value. I want him catching the eyes of teams like Chicago, Indiana, New Orleans, Detroit, Philly, etc. Teams that are all okay but FARRRRR from being serious. Teams that may want to cut salary and shake things up all the while remaining competitive. What I DON'T want is the New York fricken Knicks being our only potential trade suitor. That's what you get by Marburying him.

 

I don't know what is going on behind the scenes so I can't answer this question. So I will just say they all are at fault in some way.

 

I wouldn't be surprised if he gets traded soon........Nov. 23 was a set date for something and it's starting to unfold.

 

We're talking about a coach who got along with Ron Artest.

Think about that. Adelman coddles his players - all of them. From Chris Webber to Ron Artest to whomever.

Now he is stopping the buck with T-mac?

Or is he pissed off (justly so) about last year still?

 

why is clutchfans posting this on his twitter instead of posting it on the forum with a legitimate article

oh and if true **** adelman.

 

It's hard to not trust the Hall of Fame Coach who gets along with almost everyone.

 

man, ive lost respect for adelman. no player deserves this kind of treatment from any good organization.

how can you like a coach/organization that lies directly to your face?

tmac, ask for a trade already.

 

I thought Marbury's contract expired after the 08-09 season?
