    "All around" what? Other than court vision, Kobe supasses him in every facet.

    I don't even know why I'm responding to such a claim.

    kobe is a better scorer, and he is more clutch than t-mac but t-mac has been able to be a better playmaker along with everything else. Kobe gets away with being able to pile up points when it matters. but i am talking about being an all around player

    All around that is.

    I remember when I was making this argument, in the spring of 2003, at that one dinner party...

    "T-Mac has always done more with less, he just needs a little talent around him."

    10,000 excuses later, and now the only people that aren't gassed for using these are the casual, fairweather, bandwagon, don't-watch-five-games-a-year, non-fan fans. Someone plz photoshop T-Mac's face over Katherine Heigl's in the 27 Dresses movie cover. For no more reason than because it would be funny.

    well then i guess you all are missing my point. i am not saying t-mac is better than kobe, i am saying t-mac is a better all around player. You look at every stat line and see they were pretty much even but when it comes to assist t-mac is much better.

    Yeah, uh, that doesn't make him a better all around player.

    It means he passes more....you are seriously reaching here comparing the two.

    well i cant compare them now since t-mac is still trying to revocer from his injuries, but when he was healthy t-mac was the better all around player, and no i am not reaching at all.

    I know you're scared, but its ok DD. Landry isn't complaining because he know he will hit jackpot next time. It wasn't a good business deal, it was fear tactics that basically lowballed the guy. Not to mention, he did get a big increase, but thats cool. I mean c'mon. After the guy played pretty good in the playoffs and during the regular season and the night before free agency, you say he needs to get his knee checked out and in the end, there was nothing ever wrong with his knee and no mri and and you say thats good business? Ok.

    I've maintained this concept before, just get rid of the guy. Send him home, he still getting paid or whatever, but why even bother with the constant piddling and distraction? TO,Keyshaun,and whomever, just get rid of the guy. Now, I'll get out of here and let you and the others stretch this out for another 30 pages.

    I thought you went to college, didn't you study business and negotiation? You never talk highly about something you want to buy....SHEESH.

    Nah, if you noticed, I have not been in these threads as much as a couple days ago....

    I am proud of the organization and think they are doing what is right, and I think Tmac made so many mistakes that he hurt himself.

    If he would have played his cards differently, the team, the city, and a lot of us fans would have been more in his corner, but alas, he played the "I am more important than the team" card....and that is unacceptable......especially now that he is a shell of his former self....

    People put up with more crap when a guy can ball his butt off, but Tracy can't anymore, so it is time to face the music.

    He needs a fresh start, as does Houston.

    There's no point in arguing.

    But anyways, this article doesn't really tell us anything we don't know. We know he's done here, with both sides not handling the situation properly, moreso the Rockets IMO (because why bring him back in the first place)?

    It's just the question for who, and when?

    Well, I am fairly certain he's admitted to being the above. Grain of salt and all that.
