    Bring Tracy back would be the last straw as me being a Rockets fan. For a organization to bring back poison and a player with a lack of character would be the end. His time here seemed like a eternity and I'm not wiling to do it again. My most hated player in the NBA, by far. Fool's gold....!!!!!

    Yeah, your right about that Steve and Tracy never achieving squat but highlights. But, I gave Steve my support and Tracy made me sick. Steve only hurt himself, he was loyal to the city and in my opinion got a raw deal from JVG.

    Tracy only cared about himself, a outsider. Steve was like your cousin or brother who had addiction problems. Tracy is trying to come back. IMO too little too late. Tracy never had the heart.

    At the end, both achieved failure. Sad but true.

    Tracy McGrady. His game has evolved. He is a different player and still good.

    It's pretty simple, Steve was a Rocket as a rookie and we saw him develop into an all star. Steve loved Houston and always talked about it.
    Also the Chinese fans love him cause he embraced Yao and became his friend. There was a sense of family with the Rockets with Rudy T as coach.
    Steve NEVER wanted to leave Houston.

    The other guy, you are dead on, and outsider and he brought his outsider fans too. Steve wanted to play with two people, Yao Ming and Cuttino.
    The other guy wanted Shaq or Tim Duncan or be on Boston..

    No doubt Tracy was a superior player than Steve. But superior talents is
    not the only thing that brings you greatness and makes you a legend amongst the fans.

    I get so tired of everybody crying about McGrady, he was injured it's that simple.
    Look how long it's taking him to get back to any kind of playing form, I'm sure thats not what he wanted but thats what his body would allow.

    There should have been an option for NONE. Maybe Maybe Ron Artest to get us some toughness and identity back, but other than that, no thanks.
