    Man you talk crap. Think logically. Who signs a player who has had a very bad injury, without knowing how he can play? Thats like saying someone who had a very good job in the city, but recently had time off due to illness should never have to have an interview for a new job. Think sense. The clippers are a professional franchise, who have been hit by some pretty bad luck in recent years, but that don't mean they are so dumb to just sign someone without taking a look at them

    I thought his stint in NY was meant to prove to other teams that he could play. Isn't that basically why he wanted the Rockets to play him? Isn't that why he was b****ing to the media so much -- so he'd get a chance to showcase his talents?

    I think Tracy's done. He's had some nice moments in the NBA, and he left his mark as a memorable talent. Hopefully he's smartly managed his money, and he has enough left to make a good life for himself in retirement.

    Clippers are a garbage franchise, where players leave as soon as their rookie contracts end. Clippers are forced to sign injured free agents or scrubs to maintain a roster.

    IIRC, McGrady declared that he wouldn't do workouts for teams. Guess that never-ringing phone changed his mind.

    Given the way the Clips kept saying "due diligence", Tracy may want to put off house hunting when he's in LA.

    Sure hope he's health this year. He's super when he's health.

    Probably, but he won't be allowed to cover playoff games after the first round is completed.

    Durvasa, doesn't it take around 1 year and 6 months to get healthy from microfracture knee surgery?

    I dont think McGrady will be any worse than he was last season with the Knicks. More rehab will only make it better and improve his mobility. Who knows how much though.

    His knee should only get better and I think he should lose weight to keep the pressure off his knee.

    Clippers would actually be a good fit for him if he was actually in good condition. Helping the franchise go to the playoffs would make him a fan favorite due to there failures in recent years.

    Is there anyone else looking at Tmac other than the Clippers. In a way that says alot about how the league views Tmac.

    Failures in recent years. The clippers have been a bad team for many years. They did have one good year recently, thats about it.

    his track record shows that there's no way he would lay it down on the line for a team like the Clippers, but look at the opportunity he has to bring a doormat franachise out of the gutter.

    he would be joining Sam and Cuttino in my eyes as former Rockets who contributed to an underdog run.

    I wish him the best... I doubt he gets out of the first round, would that be his fault?

    He's just pretending to like the Clips.

    He'll jump ship for the Fakers the minute Kobe or Ron call him.

    I don't think that call is coming.
