    What he did last year was play on a surgery needed leg and shoulder. He doesn't need to play in the NBA because he wanted to not have a career ending injury?

    Some hate but not all, I don't hate TMac and I have always wish him well with his new team. He did all he could here but it is time for a change.

    I have no hate for TMAC, I like him. Just the facts are he won't play here anymore.

    Morey knows that it will be easy to keep him off the court.

    He did not have as serious of a surgery as being reported. He may be back by late November/ early December. Prob not with the Rockets.

    Looks like he has his head on straight again. Personally I'm pulling for the guy. If he gets back he fills a big need for us. A guard who can score and also make plays for his team mates.

    I don't know where people get this "He'll never play for the Rockets", "He'll never set foot on the court...blah blah blah", "He'll never wear a Rockets uniform again...", what is this stuff?

    Seriously? Come on. Nobody knows what's going to happen next season with T-Mac, like someone said, I'm not sure Morey even does yet. I don't think T-Mac has been banned yet from being in Houston, or banned by Les from playing with the Rockets.

    Get over the hate, and let's do what's best for the team.

    Do you care to elaborate how he "knows" and why it would make any sense for Morey to do so? I can't believe fans dont think Houston would jump at the chance to re-sign tmac if he proved he was truly back....Morey would be flying to meet him on july1..

    i know, tmac and morey were going by that timeline early on, but lately Morey has said he thinks that the best case scenario, not the most likely, which would be in dec/jan..

    "Lakers have a strong chance of winning the championship" or something along those lines. I mean I'm sure we were all unhappy/happy when he said that right? :rolleyes:.

    neither has Aaron Brooks. alot of fans are asking him about Yao on twitter, he says to stop asking because he doesn't know anything. it ain't just Tmac.

    i still want tmac to stay in houston. He had knee and shoulder surgeries which should have fixed everything. Back spasms seem to be gone.

    He's lost a step, but it really seems like he's ready.

    Tmac at 80% is better than 90% of the league. I just made those numbers up but you guys know what I'm getting at....

    I'm still iffy about Yao's injury. I don't think its as bad as they're making it out to be. Who knows.

    the coming back by all-star break or february is the pessimistic expectations from the rockets camp.

    the timetable is really unknown b/c it's a very light type of microfracture. he could come back as soon as november, or as late as february. we'll see.
