and his constant need to leave teams when the going gets tough. Billy Ocean wouldn't like him. he could have stayed with Vince Carter and had a chance to win a playoff series and possible make the Finals http://www.basketball-reference.com/leagues/NBA_2001.html League Playoffs Finals (4-1): Los Angeles Lakers over Philadelphia 76ers Eastern Conference Finals (4-3): Philadelphia 76ers over Milwaukee Bucks Western Conference Finals (4-0): Los Angeles Lakers over San Antonio Spurs Eastern Conference Semifinals (4-3): Milwaukee Bucks over Charlotte Hornets Eastern Conference Semifinals (4-3): Philadelphia 76ers over Toronto Raptors I wish his blind fans would actual admit he has faults and that he has to shoulder the blame for all bad choices and failures When Tracy gets booed in Toronto, Orlando, and Houston, it's not because they are booing his supporting casts that played with him back in the day
I hadn't seen that. Tracy's bball game was so smooth, now it's sad watching the guy, he hobbles and is slow.
He proved he had amazing talent, but he didn't prove that he was a winner. If I'm not mistaken, Tracy (when he was with Orlando) had a 3-1 lead in a series against Detroit. Not to mention that when he was with us, we had two series where we were up 2-0 (if I'm not mistaken). I'm not denying his talent. He was a great great player, but damn did he disappoint the hell out of me. You can't put all the blame on Tracy for the failures of the Tracy/Yao era, but he does deserve some for sure.

He might be impatient. But the losses he was forced to deal with were not on him. (Well, except for that one season he tanked in Orlando and that one game he tanked in Houston.) Orlando and Toronto failed to attempt to get better. Houston did attempt to get better, but we were just plain unlucky. At least he really has no say in moving now. He's a vet. min player. Sixth man at best.
Sorry, you're wrong. Orlando got better and made the NBA Finals He could have waited for Dwight Howard. Kobe, Hakeem, even Jordan have gone through major team/coaching changes for the team to get better. http://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/ORL/ 2008-09 NBA Orlando Magic* 59 23 .720 1 6.49 109.2 101.9 Lost Finals S.

I just mentioned to you they almost beat the Sixers that year, the Sixers who made the Finals. Come on, either you forgot or you didn't even have this memory of this great series <iframe width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/1WdBQjo5VH0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> You know my opinion on Tracy, he could have helped big time here.
It was a really nice move, but one I wouldn't generally recommend, somewhat streetball, in that you might get away with it just once. Still, dude had incredible skills. Shame what happened.
I'm middle ground Top talent of his era. Absolutely no competitive heart. Billion dollar body. Ten cent brain. game came so easy for him he couldn't adjust in the 4th quarter. when he played by instinct it was smooth, when he tried to force things it was usually a missed jumper at the end of tight games loved him for his talent. hated him for what he never delivered
WTF That was one of the Stupidest (not the urban compliment meaning) moves I've ever seen. Easy steal/ pop ball on the cross over. Only what could have been for Tmac should be followed by "If he was born with halfa more helping of heart"
