I want to stay up all night because of this suspense. God, this is why am a Rockets fan, I love this stuff. I love Clutchfans!
You know what..................I'll be willing to bet he IS Keith Jones. Doc is commonly used phrase to call trainers and he seems to know a lot but not every single detail, which sounds like a trainer. He describes McGrady's attitude very well, as if he deals with him often(in the training room). Trainer's aren't extremely connected with upper management but are exposed to enough info that they can feel confident about what's going on.
So you are suggesting Warriors trade away 2/3 of the team for 2 broken knees? I know Nelie is crazy, but is he that crazy?
Maybe.. man I can't sleep till the deadline is over.. too much suspense btw.. can u shed light on the alleged deal?? too many confusing posts on this thread..
Heh I know, I forget to mention that in the other forum. It's too hard to explain every single thing to them and expect them to believe it if they have never been to Clutchfans.. so it is what it is. Hopefully with more brain power and users we can figure it out before the thing actually happens.
I have a dead cat named Cali; she's buried in the backyard. You want me to go dig her up so we can transplant some cartlilage or something?
Doc, That's an LL Cool J Classic. LL is from NYC. <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/IC7iIttp6cY&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/IC7iIttp6cY&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> Going back to Cali??

Guys: You're doing it wrong. You're missing a broader perspective, the forest for the Tree-macs. We're in a time of financial pandemic. The NBA takes out a massive loan to keep its 15 weakest teams afloat. $800 billion stimuli fail to stimulate. Nations rise and fall. Our most populous states consider closing up shop . And in this time of peril, over the All-Star break, what do we read of our fallen hero? Las Vegas Review Journal Ignore, for the moment, the Maggette mention here. To think of this Doc Rocket post only in terms of "basketball trades" is beneath us. This posting imparts much deeper knowledge. Should we really believe media reports that suggest our McGrady is partying up at the casinos at a time when rehabilitation, both on scales personal and national/economic, is required? No. No, we shouldn't. And I believe a careful reading of Doc Rocket explains why: What did Fox Mulder investigate? UFOs? Alien abductees? Alas, our first clue. Something is (or will be) missing: something presently unidentified, something flying, flying away. A basketball player? Fool. [Hint: Planes fly away. As do cargo planes, cargo planes loaded with faded jerseys and dusty, dusty ball racks. (The Baltimore Colts drove moving vans to Indianapolis, in a time before airplanes. Now we have planes.)] Are the Maloofs trying to move the Kings to Las Vegas? Will Chuck Hayes and McGrady be traded to this team? Again, I fear I'm thinking too small here. The bigger picture? Like a little child, upset? A baby? A newborn, if you will. Alas, something is being reborn, possibly birthed from Tmac's newfound "pu$$." (Surely the Rockets' team doctor would have discovered this physiologic abnormality when he was initially traded from Orlando? The same doctor who now says there is no lasting knee damage?) A second clue. What, exactly, is being reborn? Here, another contextual clue: Perchance to dream? Of Sackramento? But why would anyone dream of Sacramento? Such a crummy, unremarkable city? Why think of Sacramento at all, unless tomorrow morning it ceases to exist??? [First hint, grander scale: an entire city's worth of provisions was airlifted into West Berlin, circa Cold War. An entire city, moved by plane. Not a shot fired. (We won that war.)] Out of the blue? Like the sky? The UFO, again? Now we're onto something. What if tomorrow, California, mired in a $42 billion budget shortfall, decided to unload its little-used, much-maligned capital city, Sacramento, for expiring contracts / cap relief from Nevada (even though they're in the same conference)? What if Sacramento can't go back to Cali, because it's no longer there? What if Tracy McGrady was merely disguised as a hard-partying, injured basketball player while in Vegas? What if he was actually brokering a deal to send the Kings to Las Vegas, acting on the behest of David Stern? What if, at the same time, while disguised as an agent of the NBA disguised as a hard-partying Knee-Mac, McGrady was also taking offers for the city of Sacramento itself, this time at the request of Gov. Schwarzenegger? A goldmine, in these troubling economic times? Like a Second Vegas, Nevada? A second gambling/convention mecca? For the Wynn? I covet that. A nation covets that. Well sure, after one wynns the Nobel Peace Prize one's worth is sure to inflate. So, if I pieced it all together correctly, 1) Rockets brass loaned TMac to the NBA. 2) Under the guise of soliciting advice on a gimpy knee from orthopedic specialists in New York, Chicago, Vegas, London, the Barbary Coast, McGrady was actually soliciting offers for the NBA and the Maloof brothers on possible destinations for the Kings. 3) Secretly, the whole time McGrady was also a double agent for the state of California, coincidentally looking to unload the city of Sacramento to the highest bidder, in order to solve its budget mess. 4) Las Vegas, Nevada, thanks to its gambling empire (the only recession-proof economy)won both. The Kings will begin play there next season. The city of Sacramento will move there tomorrow, both trades pending league approval. 5) McGrady is a hero once more. A hero who, not wanting his secret mission to be revealed by a poorly play-acted limp, drove an actual fork into his knee, thus making him no longer that great of a basketball player. No matter: hero still. Then again, I might be reading too much into this. I might need one more Vegas/gambling reference thrown in to reassure me in this deconstruction. Also: If the Rockets have a hole to fill, does this mean that Chuck Hayes ("Earth") is being traded? That'd kill my fantasy team.
