    I just remembered the Baron Davis spec and the Vince Carter talk. Maybe it was the Carter deal? Even Clyde mentioned that alleged deal during a broadcast, said Carter could be auditioning for the Rockets...

    I'll agree here. Tmac's half assed cameos are expensive for the team. If he doesn't play hard on both ends for the extremely short period he plays each game then there is no reason to up his minutes or pay 100% of his contract when insurance will pick up 80% for not playing. Even tmac admitted he was coming back early but it sure as hell isn't because he is 100% quicker than expected.

    EXACTLY......

    He did nothing to warrant more time, and if he is not going to do that, why play him?

    I don't understand this. Didn't we all see the video of Keith Jones basically telling the media that Tracy did inform them that he was having the surgery? in fact it was a collective decision from what I got out of the video. Sorry bud last few comments are gone.


    Actually...the whole point of him sitting out was so he doesn't mess up chemistry. You have no idea if he is messing up chemistry at all. In fact, he is dishing out assists in an 8 minute span. You can't tell if he is causing the Rockets to lose in 8 minutes. DD you have to agree that in the time tmac plays, he works his but off deserving more time. TMAC IS RIGHT AND DESERVES A LITTLE MORE TIME. NOT 30 but maybe 15. Seriously you can't say Tmac doesn't help the organization do any of the 3 things you pointed out because well...your not part of the organization...your just another extremist fan

    The Team got to the second round and took Lakers to 7 despite Yao not being there.

    Please read the BOLDED session again . .. and think about what you posted

    Seriously?

    Ask Budinger . .who has not made 23 million dollars to sacrifice his playing time so TMAC can get paid
    Ask Ariza . . .who has not made 23 million dollars to sacrifice his playing time so TMAC can get paid
    ask Battier . .who has not made 23 million dollars to sacrifice his playing time so TMAC can get paid
    As Harris . .who has not made 23 million dollars and is just trying to stick in this league to sacrifice his playing time so TMAC can get paid
    Ask Von Wafer . .who has not made 23 million dollars to sacrifice his playing time and even ability to even get on a team so TMAC can get paid
    Ask

    You are willing to ask every player on the TEAM to Sacrifice so ONE PERSON can be paid .. . and then going to say that the TEAM is being Selfish?

    Who is being selfish?
    Serious? Are you for real? REALLY?

    But some of these things where brought up about the defense before we traded for T-Mac, correct? I just think give him a shot when someone isn't playing well. The offense stagnates often and this is when T-Mac isn't in the game, thats when most of our droughts come. T-Mac is moving better than last year, and he is playing more defense. He didnt contest one jumper the other day, but still.. I understand its a business decsion, but this is also sort of a life type thing for T-Mac (not talking about the money)

    Hello fellow Rockets fans, new to the forums :p have been lurking this board for almost a year.

    Regarding Twacks article, im glad they"ll sit him out and get rid of his half ass act. Hopefully they can trade for someone who will be a team player, maybe send him to the warriors for Randolph

    Welcome to the greatest fan board on the planet....don't worry about us arguing we will settle down once Tracy is traded.

    I'm sorry.

    This has nothing to do with the Rockets, or getting free agents. T-Mac has a
    reputation throughout the league as being soft, a whiner, a loser, and constantly bringing drama where it isn't needed.

    I'm sorry but,

    if T-Mac gets traded this wil be the third team

    let me repeat THE THIRD TEAM he has departed badly from. One time maybe random but THREE times is definately a trend. This is a total reflection on T-Mac and his diva-esque ways.

    The idea that the immature behavior of one underachieving free agent is going to effect future prospects is pretty absurd.

    Especially when one can see that the Rockets are definately overachieving.

    lol... Well ask the Rockets why they gave T-Mac such a fat ass contract. Ask the gods why they allow t-mac to be injured.

    This might be a business move, but this is also a mans career.
