I guess ROX management and RA still mad about TMC's decision to have a operation without first notice last season. It totally build the untrust between them. For now, both TMC and ROX made reasonable decision for their owns. However, soon or later Rox have to decide which is more important between Get something back by trading TMC or Take the insunce Money first. As a fan, i hope TMC has a chance to play in order to increase his trade value. Knowing we have no shot for champion this season, and we got woderful support group now. If we somehow get something back from Tmc, by the time Yao goes back, we will be serious contender for next season.
But he always been in average teams. Pair him with shaq no question. Swap an orlando tracy with paul peirce, no question.. no question. He was always on average teams.
Perfect example of how Clutchfans simply incites each other. Eventually everyone is feeding off of everyone else's hate to the point of delusion and personal vendetta.
The Rox orginization should see him in practice, yes in practice to see if he run the motion offense and hustle and play defense that will take effort on his part. Until then he will show his true colors. My guess that evualuation will take 2 months close to february.
I remember game 7 against dallas, Yao was still in the floor in the second half even though we were down 20+ points. He kept on playing, while tmac quit and sat on the bench.
Look up the numbers to that series, Yao didnt play like an allstar, game 2 was won singlehandidly by Tracy Mcgrady and the point in which Tracy came out of the game, it was over.
I just dont understand the people who can bare to watch Trevor and Aaron try to take over games down the stretch when we have a proven player on the bench. Our best player right now, is Carl Landry, and thats not a good thing when you want to win a championship or a playoff series for that matter. People overlook Yao's inconsistent play in the playoffs and put it on Tracy(the guy who raises his game big time, in the playoffs). Never understood why someone gets the free pass because they are a nice person.
This is what is funny, Tracy can not force anything....and he and the team know it. Unless Tracy is running full speed in practice all the time on offense and defense....and is 100% (see this is the little nugget most people are missing)...100%...then they will not play him. DD
A 90% to 95% Tracy, which I suspect he is right now, is a way better player than Trevor Ariza or Shane Battier. If Les proclaims he is such a winner, then why is this even such a hard desicion. Tracy should be playing right now. Heck, we probably would have beaten Pheonix, Sacremento, and Atlanta down the stretch with him on the court. It is a lot better than having Trevor and Aaron try to create down the stretch, I think you could agree with me there.
Doesn't matter to the franchise at all......that 90% guy is expiring and won't be here next year, so no need to play him and hinder the development of the guys who WILL be here. DD
Then does Shane or Yao get the same treatment next year? The Rockets have way to much talent to just not give Tracy a shot to see what he can do with this team. There is no point in not playing your best player if he can give your franchise a shot at making some noise in the playoffs. Sure, he most likely won't be back, but I would rather watch our team make the playoffs rather than get the 14th pick in the lottery.
