    that signals the end of it.. Y! sports has been right all along.. Clutch's tweet said the same thing..

    its over.

    and looks like the management unnecessarily messed this up?

    I don't get what is so hard to understand about Adelman giving Tracy eight minutes at a time. That's plenty of time to prove your worth and your health. McGrady was unable to make the most of those minutes so the team sent him on his way. I will admit if he plays again for the Rockets that this move will be a real head-scratcher but until then I don't see what is confusing about this.

    Why 8 minutes? Why not 7? It is strange that he chose 8.

    according to some here, all he needs is 33 seconds/game.

    This thread is going to get ugly and I predict a minimum of 20 pages and 100 DD posts.

    I don't know, didn't Yahoo say he was done in Houston before he had his 8 min rotation?

    I don't get what the management is trying to do anymore. This isn't a showcase, but it's not entirely integrating McGrady in the rotation. I think the management messed up bad this time.

    Well, like someone said in one of the many other threads saying the same thing, just because they want the trade doesn't mean that two (or more) teams can come to an agreement to make it happen. We'll just have to see.

    I think it's better to get him back and playing, but if they can bring someone in to do what he does, then I'm for it.

    I think it was like 6-8 minutes a game.

    most of the time the coach inserted in at the first dead ball with 8 mins left to go, sometimes that wouldnt happen until the mandatory 6 min tv timeout.

    also 8 minutes is 2/3 of a quarter maybe that played into it?

    Awfully interesting, though not shocking, if true. I'd be ecstatic if we got Martin.

    I think this was a combination of a showcase and an opportunity for him to try to change the mind of management about trading him. Worst case scenario (which is what happened) is he proved he is healthy enough to get up and down the court even if he was not that effective.

    Highly improbable . I think we are set to roll with what we have for this year.. I am just expecting a few minor trades to happen.

    T-Mac is going to struggle big time to land another contract.

    Yet another article full of trashy rumours and uninformed speculation, based on information from unnamed sources.

    Kindly note, that if the Rocket's run into a slump, and begin to lose games consistently, Tracy McGrady will be mysteriously declared "recovered, and ready to contribute 30 minutes a game".

    This is getting very complicated. I think its easier for Adelman to give all the minutes to Ariza. He must not be very good in maths.
