[Clutchfans]Adelman has no interest in playing Tmac

No doubt, none of this makes sense.

 

No we could not.

Because his contract is so onerous, so much money that a team would have to GUT their team to get him, and it would be a huge risk, a Carlos Boozerish risk in that Tmac could flat out walk at the end of the year regardless.

There is no team, None, nada, that would be willing to take on a guy with a $23 million dollar contract that expires at the end of the year UNLESS they are clearing cap space.

That is the ONLY scenario, no matter what.

Will Clutch please chime in?

 

I'm hoping Clutch is only tweeting this news because a deal has been struck.

Blount+Cardinal+Wilkins for McGrady saves the T-Wolves around $10M. That's the 80% of insurance and the difference in salaries deducted.

Add max cash considerations and it's $13M.

$13M for the rights to Rubio?

 

I think if the Rockets just wanted to get rid of his contract then they would have been made the trade with the Knicks which seems to be the only legit trade rumor involving T-mac. I mean it could not hurt his trade value for him to play good for us. This whole thing is just frustrating.

 

:grin:

This made me giggle, twice.

 

How do we know for certain this source is legit? Just curious.

The source could be saying news that he heard third or fourth hand, meaning it could be embellished. I don't know, I'm just very suspicious when it comes to a "source."

For the record, T-Mac just needs to be gone. But good job, Rockets, lowering his trade value and turning everything into a big mess.

And people are thinking a little too much of this "great" start of 8-6. The Rockets are STILL not making the playoffs without a legit go-to scorer, and they are still very much a flawed team.

If nothing else, T-Mac coming back will only add, not subtract. They benefit either way by playing him.

 

Thank God you're not the GM of the Rockets. Trading an expiring value for scrubs and a 18 year old that might not ever pan out or who knows when he even comes to the NBA...

 

So it was that ME was the only one that eagerly waited and anticipated for T-Mac's return to da T-Mac that we all know to come back and dominate? Damn, if I was the only one to have those sentiments then Tracy must have egged everyone's house except mine..:S

I also think that the however big portion that was willing to accept the absence and now the exclusion of T-Mac are uneducated and uninspired fans...Because that "truth" they were so willing to accept is one that is in NO WAY of benefit to the team that we all know as the HOUSTON ROCKETS

 

Comon dude it dosent take a genius to see this was coming. Rockets holding him out, Tmac wanting to play. Rick coming out and stating he isnt ready when Tmac says he is.

Its crystal clear the Rockets dont want him. Its just all getting messy now and is all out in the open now and its going to get worse.

 

And wouldn't you believe its more Rockets fault then McGradys?

 

No doubt about that...

I love it!!!! :grin: :grin:

 

According to Ricjhard Justice the Rockets "tried to trade half the team" to get Rubio this draft.

 

junk expiring contracts + ricky rubio for tracy mcgrady is actually a good deal for the rockets...ricky rubio is much better than u think...hes a future superstar

 

Exactly. I'd be less frustrated/mad if Tmac was clearly out of shape, didn't put in the extra hours, train with Grover, and was just happy to collect huge paychecks sitting at home. None of these are true. It bothers me that he's good to go from his own words and we're de-valuing him by saying he's not ready and not giving him a chance. I know his biggest asset is his $20+ mil expiring contract but I know he still has some game left in the tank.

 

But we still don't know if Les doesn't want to play him? I still think he is going to be gone but isn't there a good chance of Les making Adelman PLAY McGrady?

 

And the point is there will be teams looking to do that. What you're overlooking is how Marburying him eliminates the .500 and better crowd from the equation. No .500+ team that wants to clear cap space is going to deal for a player in Marbury territory that can't get on the court. With him out there playing well, on the other hand? That at least catches the attention of the teams looking to cut salary all the while not sacrificing their on-court product.

 

Damn it, you ruined my happy day. You know who is the real diva here?

THE FANS, so much negative here......

We are helping those stupid reporters who wrote stupid reports and those stupid people who leak out things like they really know what is going on

I don't care about all these things, I am here to discuss basketball, exchange opinions with people, help me enjoy my life more, but people here acts like they are just immature and throwing all the negatives around here......

I am shocked
