since its extremely obvious as to SAS being a close confidant of tmacs, i thought i would post this here he was on espnews in the last hour and commented on the various trades. said he liked rafer trade for orlando but not houston - thats beside the point (side note: he took a lil jab at yao by comapring him to dwight and saying rafer was in better situation now cause dwight is solid and consistent while yao is a " 7'6 sometime stiff") he seemd to insinuate that tmacs relationship with organization was "abrasive" and shaky cause tmac felt like he was injured and in pain all season long and that rox were not "forthright" in supporting him publicly and backing him when he said he was playing injured. basically hes saying that tmac felt organization made him look bad in public. this seems to point to me that maybe all these little comments and leaks were from organization to tarnish tmacs image and maybe force him back into playing through public outrage at him. which is exactly what happened at some points if u remember? anywho thought i would share cause this might explain why tmac would decide to throw the orgs under the bus like that he kept talking about how rox were in serious trouble cause going into 2010 they risk losing tmac and yao and even artest this year and the organization is in trouble
Why does ANYONE care what Stephen A Smith has to say? "The Rockets are in trouble" -Stephen A Smith Ooooooh I'm so scared.
Hopefully Tracy will be traded but to the team where he could still win something. He needs a change.
Yao is not going any where. The team will be built always around Yao. I am sure Morey and Les will see to that.
first off, don't listen to any trash Stephen A. Smith has to say. He says he's close with half the players out there so people actually listen to the BS he has to say. If you haven't noticed, a lot of players always come out and and tell the public he's just making stuff up. And then there's t-mac. There may or may not be anything wrong with his knee. He says he's hurt, but the Rockets and no doctors found anything wrong with him. Why would the Rockets be all supportive of him? Be supportive of his embarrassment about failing a dunk and immediately say he's injured? He should be happy the Rockets haven't publicly labelled him washed-up yet.
The 'A' is for Apologist Reminds me of Michael Irving becoming TO's mouthpiece/lobbyiest a few years back. "The fans and team caused everything wrong with Tracy. All he wanted was a hug, but they kept nagging at him to do his job"
u can bag on SAS all u want the whole point of this thread is to fill u in on tmacs thoughts or what he might have been thinking when he strategically leaked his surgery news to SAS before the rox SAS was pointing out the 'why' behind tmacs decision. i thought that was somewhat significant info to include here no? i know its not an exact word for word from tmac but this was worth nothing imo since yall were speculating on why tmac would do that. looks like the orgnization and tmac are pissed off at 1 another and they are in a cold war mood now if u will
Yes he will be back but not in H-Town. I wish him well with his new team next year. I can't wait till the Rockets stump his new team next season.
