    He maybe ready and comes out scoring 20-25pts, but the dude has NO heart n drive for the game or the will to win nor leadership. Kobe even with a broken finger and pain plays through every game and Tmac has been whinning since last 3 years. Get rid of him ASAP and atleast i will have no regrets.

    i am talking about a hypothetical here. if mcgrady was to return to form, then would we want him on our team? i say yes because i think him, yao, and current supporting cast give us the best chance at a championship for the years to come...all the petty bickering aside. again...it's a hypothetical and we don't know what would actually happen. i'm assuming he went back to a high level and both him/yao stayed healthy. fat chance...right?

    but, it is done that he is gone. there is no going back.

    Thats because if he does have it in his hands all the time he would turn it over 85 % of the time. The guy cant dribble, or create his own show to save his life.

    I'm pretty sure the Rockets checked, double checked, and triple checked this hypothetical before burning the bridges with T-Mac. If T-Mac really could return to form, Adelman and Morey would not be kicking his ass out the door.

    That is a lot of hypotheticals. As long as we are dreaming, how about we lose Tracy and Yao and pick up Bosh, Wade, and LBJ as well? I only deal with facts and one of the facts right now, is that Rox and T-Mac no longer want each other.

    So, they should expect to have egg on their face if tmac returns to form then....because they would have been wrong? I'm fine with that. I'll even supply the eggs.

    Isn't this the same clown who was in that promotional video on channel 12 with Lacy McLady last year telling us how "ready" and "strong" he was and then he came back, blocked his own reverse dunk on the rim, and quickly tucked tail and ran?

    Can we please lose this dude and Grover immediately....can't wait for this saga to end. I am burning my jersey the day we trade this school girl.

    Ouch, people just turned on their own star player once he's expendable to the team, don't know why it's always been the case, just curious. Just put yourself in his shoes, think twice what you would do if you were him.

    On the last part of your thought, he might not be able to be his old self again, but at least close to it. All his highlight moves were packed and recorded in vids, and doubt that we could see that again on SC or NBATV.

    He just means he's ready to be traded and/or bought out

    He's not getting PT that he should have had.

    Well, don't wanna mention the Agent Zero, but look at his situation this way, coming from several surgeries, taking up a spot on the roster, fitting himself right into the lineup and getting his shooting touch and rhythm back. IIRC, he was averaging 22 points per game since he gotta feeling on the court and found his rhythm.

    8 mins of action on the court could give rise to rhythm he wanna find? I think not.

    Watch out folks, MAC is BACCCCCCCCK, again.

    His on court performance sucks but big-MAC surely appears to have the best off-court performance. According to some this dude will bring any team to the promise land every year.

    Condition-wise he is always at his best when he is not actually playing. Which is great, who doesn't want a player like that. Let's just swap him with Bosh and call it even.

    T-Mac is not expendable. He was really valuable and he knocked is own value to zero repeatedly. He took himself off the Rockets. We had Yao and Ron Artest: T-Mac was not "expendable" then. That was supposed to be a major year, but T-Mac "shut it down."

    I and many other fans support the ninth guy in the Rockets rotation, who is much more "expendable" than T-Mac. T-Mac loves the team less than some of his fans do; that's why he lost them. He fell behind the Rockets and fans of the team.

    Somehow, i believe TMC can play high level again. Too bad Rocket and he can't work things out. However, there is nothing wrong each side protect own interest. One thing always crosses my mind. What the hell is insurence company doing? If Roxs are holding TMC while he can play, why they pay ROX for Tmc's salary?
