[Clutchfans]Adelman has no interest in playing Tmac

And destroy his trade value in the process?

That would be just stupid.

 

I don't get this?

Why is management handling it incorrectly, it seems to me that he is like 4th or 5th on the depth chart and he has not worked his way back yet.

The guy has been out of basketball a year, he can't just step back on the court and be his old self.

I think the Rockets are doing what they think is best, as they should, they are paying the man...they owe him nothing more than that.

I was looking forward to watching Tracy play again, but oh well...Whatever happens, happens. So is a big trade in the works coming up?

 

They do,but our role players have limitations. Unfortunately,no one is willing to give us anything good in return for him. Gotta try and work it out in order to increase his trade value,there is no other way.

 

4th or 5th on the depth chart? Sure maybe cos he is coming off an injury, but if given a chance to show his health he is the number 1 option on this team. BUT he obviously isnt the future plans of this team so thats why he will not play.

I dont agree with them not owing him anything, sure they are paying him, but the GM and owner agreed to his absurd contract. He has carried this team with some pretty ordinary lineups, the least they can do is trade him if they wont play him.

 

I know i'm in the minority but I disagree with this course of action. We all know McGrady is a diva that thinks he should be able to call his own shots, but at the same time it sounds like he's been doing exactly what the Rockets want him to in regards to this "timeline" yet it appears that Adelman has no desire to play him no matter what. That's a "no win situation" if there ever was one. Alienating and sending mixed signals to McGrady's camp is only going to increase the diva factor. He's going to pout, both sides are going to point fingers, we're going to continue to be a .500 team......just play the damn guy already.

I've never been accused of being one of these epic YOF's or TOF's or whatever. Please don't start now. I'm just trying to view this objectively and I certainly think there HAS to be a better recourse than simply trying to shun or "Marbury" him.

 

gilbert arenas.... same trainer, out longer than tmac was... when a player of mcgradys caliber(when healthy, hes DOMINANT) is healthy on your rosterr. There is no reason to keep him sidelined unless this team is strait up planning on trading him. If Tmac is truly healthy and rick just doesnt want to play him, i will have alot of trouble supporting a coach who blatently pushes away what would easily be our #1 scoring option..

 

I dont know. I would consider Rasheed Wallace a superstar. the guy could do it all. drop 3s, block shots, hit long jumpers, and post up. his attitude unfortunately prevented him from leading portland. but yeah they only had a team of all stars but no kobe like superstar. gotta love detroit. houston of the east.

 

That's not what I mean. It doesn't matter, if he is the 15th option. I'm sure he isn't ready either,but if they don't want him,stop pretending that there might be a future timetable for him to come back.
Don't tell him to come to practice,period. Bird didn't want Tinsley at all costs,and sent him home.

 

I agree completely. I would really hate to see him traded. Get more talent and I don't mean Yao!!!!

 

Will be interesting to see what happens in the next 48 hours now. With this out in the open no doubt things are going to get worse before they get better.

This can't be a decision just coming from Rick, no doubt the senior players on the team have had their say into the situation and you can only trust the people who are dealing with the drama everyday and what they believe is best.

Basically throws away any chance of getting something "over the odds" for him though....

 

What a horrible situation.

I really wish it would all be over with.

 

I LOVE his Decision.
Let Tracy Money go his home!

 

I imagine we're going to see him on the court soon. Adelman may have no interest in putting him on the court but he will. And not because Les is in love with McGrady. That IS an urban legend as I ever saw one ... McGrady has been in trade talks for two seasons now. But because they need him to showcase himself for a trade.

 

yuyks,,, damn that's cold :grin: :grin: , even though i want t-mac to play to see what he has left on the tank, but hey it's the coach decision, and you can't argue with a hall of fame coach, i think he is right, he doesn't want a player to distract the chemistry with this team,,,so anybody knows where t-mac is heading ????

 

He gone yall...let him go...

Trade or IL for the season...but he's out...when he comes back i'll stand and cheer em.

 

Ah, yes, it may come to that.

Honestly, I really think this could be resolved if Tracy just swallowed his pride, apologized and got to work.

His skill and talent would eventually win out.

However, I think he won't be able to do that, and the organization doesn't want him anyway.

Hopefully a trade soon.....

(comes back as in gets introduced as a visitor with another team)

 

Yep, microfracture takes 6-12 months to fully recover from.

Webber thinks coming back too early ruined his career. Amare came back too early and missed the rest of the season after 3 games.
