[Clutchfans]Adelman has no interest in playing Tmac

Tracy will not play unless he proves he can play the team game. Otherwise, why give minutes to someone whose contract is running out anyway.

 

If I were Adelman or the Rockets coach, I wouldn't have interest playing Tmac either. Especially since the Rockets are already overachieving and Tracy is probably as done as Steve Francis. Like said and done, you can't blame Adelman or anybody in the Rockets organization for not playing Tmac, they are giving him the same thing Tmac has been giving this Franchise these past years.

 

If this is how the Rox feel about TMAC(which I assume they do) then TMAC probably never wears a Rox jersey again.

From Jonathan Feigen's Blog...

McGrady's efforts to pressure the Rockets into bringing him back ahead of the schedule they have made extremely clear since September have been completely illogical, inappropriate and self-centered. And though he has not distracted his teammates, he did distract attention from what they are doing. -- Jonathan

 

from the source, adelman does not want to play tmac AT ALL. if it's true, adelman is pretty close-minded (though i don't think he's that type of person. wafer disrespected him multiple times last year and still got time)

 

He is scared that he won't be able to get a chance for a future contract by missing more games. I think he might welcome a trade if he can get a chance to play,even though he isn't ready to get on the court.

 

So you believe that the Knicks should've given Marbury playing time in the beginning of the year last season?

Isn't it ironic how the McGrady drama parallels the Marbury drama yet to McGrady apologists, Marbury is a cancer but McGrady isn't?

 

Only Clutch obviously. Why would Feigan be privy to such information? :grin:

 

Jonathan_Feigen tweeted:

Rockets team Doc Walter Lowe: McGrady will be evaluated "over the coming weeks." Doesn't sound as if he is playing anytime soon.

 

Because the Rockets expressed goal this year is to make the playoffs, and a functioning McGrady will give them a better shot of doing just that.

I've never heard anyone from the organization, whether a coach or front office guy or teammate, criticize McGrady for lack of a team game. His issue has been consistently playing hard, not coasting on talent, and staying healthy.

 

How and why?

 

it's obvious the team is doing everything they can so tmac won't play. i hope a trade happens soon so all this can stop.

 

Maybe they have a trade lined up but cant execute until the Dec. 15 hurdle when draft picks can be traded or until an injured player comes back (KMartin?). Makes sense to stall his proggression until that time.

 

Well to me its starting look like JVG all over again. You were all over JVG for not refusing to play your boy Vspan, and people here like to point out that Landry/Scola/Brooks would never have gotten PT under JVG, but isn't RA doing the same thing here?

I guess it would be a totally different thing if we were winning, but we have been alternating wins and losses for some time now. A healthy Tmac is exactly what this team needs, but RA won't even give Tmac a chance to play and see how he does. Looks to me like RA is just as stubborn and closeminded as JVG is.

 

Where does it say December 15th?

 

Lets not mention we had no business losing to Sacremento. A good team would not have lost to Sacremento that day.

 

Please explain how my point is irrelevant. NY tried to move his massive expiring contract and nobody was interested. Both sides agreed to a buyout which was beneficial to both sides because: (1) The buyout was for less than the actual contract's value and (2) Because Marbury wanted to sign elsewhere. The point still remains that NY tried and was unable to move his contract which is likely how things will play out with T-Mac if we "Marbury" him.

 

I think thats the deadline for FAs to be traded like Gortat.

 

I don't get you T-Mac people. At all. Microfracture surgery takes a long team to recover, and most athletes do not recover from it fully in 8 months (with really the only notable exception being that SOB Stockton, who was ultimately a massive, massive workaholic that would make McGrady cry.) Adelman has had experience with athletes coming back from microfracture surgery too soon and wrecking things, and as the team isn't performing that badly, it's understandable he wants to take his sweet time with him, especially given how McGrady just utterly burned bridges last year.

And your counterargument is ....."TMac says he's ready."
For God's sake, do you people have memories shorter than a goldfish? Do you guys not remember last season at all, with "I'm back" "No wait" over and over and over again? And you people want to live through that again? Really?

 

Sorry corrected

 

How can it parallel the Knicks situation? First of Marbury is the type of nutcase who would eat a tube of vaseline, and even when he was in his prime, Marbury has always been a low efficiency stat padder. Before last season Tmac has been an effective player for the Rockets, the crazy shots he takes are offset by all the looks and passing ability he has. Secondly the Knicks were trying to tank that season, while we are trying to make the playoffs (as always).If you want a parallel, why don't you look at RA's final days in Sacramento? Rick "the RULER" benched a young Kevin Martin and Gerald Wallace for reasons unknown. Wonder where those guys are now?

My opinion though is this team could definitely use some talent. If they're gonna iso tmac then trade him already. Don't let him sit in the sideline by pretending he can't play when he can, and don't string him along with false promises because when/if they finally trade Tmac, and he gets back to his old self and starts balling again, it'll only make the Rockets organization look bad, DM stupid, and RA a grudge-bearing child. What are we, the Knicks?
