If the Rockets wanted to make Tracy happy and be a winner they would of let him play on the Rockets instead of trading him. I'm pretty confident he is on the bad side of Rick as well, constantly going in and out of the lineup. The guy is just an aging player who is nothing more then a bench player. And Morey probably views his market value as the league minimum, and he still probably wouldn't offer that.
I think it's best that the team and organization move on from T-mac's drama and attitude. We tried for 5 seasons and it failed, I don't believe that t-mac will even stay healthy next season, there is always something. It's best re-sign our guys Scola And Lowry or get a big named power forward.
I believe it's probably the guys in suits who have more of a problem with Mac than the players. They actually, I bet, would say they didn't have a problem with Tracy.
You messed up by proposing resigning tmac. But you absolutely killed it when you mentioned signing him to the full MLE. Sorry but that's exactly where I stopped reading.
Dude, history repeats itself with Tmac and Yao. I'm tired of players that always gets injured. Tmac is declining fast. Why would you want Tmac if we already have a great scorer in Martin? Right now Kevin Martin is better than Tmac. I do not want to hear about Tmac and Yao again. So many disappointments. So many failures. If it didn't work out, its not going to again. Plus Tmac will get hurt again and so will Yao. I rather have one player getting hurt than having both again. How many more set backs do you want?
But the picks, Kevin Martin, and the development of our young rotation players...you don't think that is something Morey, Les, and Tracy believe would help this team in the future? Everyone knew the Rockets weren't going to win anything this season, especially with Yao out. Now the Rockets have a legit third score in Kevin Martin, a quck and EFFICIENT back court that can score on the break without looking back, and a better draft pick. Tracy is worth at least the MLE, he deserves at least that depending on where he ends up.
Kevin martin a third scorer??????? WTF U DAMM IDIOT!!!! are you implying that stacy mclady is a better scorer than keving martin??????? the guy is averaging 20+ ppg on a better field goal percentage compared to 8 ppg for tracy who completely disappeared in the forth quarter against the Rockets, Heck even brooks is a better scorer at this point hes the one who took over that game in the forth.
I don't even know what to say anymore. Two good all star players that cannot even stay healthy. So many what ifs. So many disappointments with those two guys. The Rockets made a good move by trading Tmac away. Now if Yao gets hurt again (most likely he will), then I think its best too that the Rockets part ways with Yao. Both Yao and Tmac are a thing in the past. In order to move on, we need to move on from both of them. Because I'm tired of every year it hurts the Rockets so much because of Yao's injuries. I am tired of that. Every year when the Rockets are so close, then you watch NBA TV and on the bottom of the screen, it will say HOU: Yao Ming suffers a broken foot and will require surgery and will miss the remainder of the season. Recovery time is still unknown.... That happens every year for the last 4 seasons. Yao Ming is getting one more chance with Houston. If one more break down, the best choice for Houston is to also part ways with Yao Ming if they finally want to succeed.
Hilarious that someone actually thinks Tracy McGrady will get full MLE money from a serious basketball team this off-season!!! I wouldn't sign the guy here for minimum salary - I assume New York will end up overpaying him to the tune of $4-6million, simply because they don't get anything else, and NEED to do SOMETHING to keep the fans happy.
Beat LA, I support you completely!! I think T-mac still loves rockets team, loves the city of Houston, his family is settled over Houston. Tracy still misses his team mates!! If we can sign him for a veteran, why not? He is just not physical, but he has been playing for 12 years, how much experience he has gained? A lot! he has a high IQ on playing, on how to play team ball. RA alsl said, as long as Tracy becomes more athelic, he is still the core of a team. He is fully talented, and motivated playing in a contender team. Think about it!! DM
