I think it'll be a mistake, TMAC is gonna come back better than ever after getting real training time in with one of the best.

I think T-Mac's best playing days are behind him. He might go somewhere else and have a few good/great years, but his welcome here has been worn out. I hope he plays great wherever he goes, but let's see if we can get some real value for him now, since it's obvious Adelman hates him.

Yeah, until he gets a hang nail and misses two weeks because of it, lol.

It's easy to hate on him but he has been playing through pain for years now.

He could hardly dunk jumping off his bad knee these past two years. He had a terrible trainer that was not helping his situation. He finally got in capable hands by working with Tim Grover who had a major impact on MJ and Wade.

T-Mac can finally start playing at his potential and Adelman is blowing it big time.

I can't see Lebron coming to Houston. Don't get me wrong, I'd LOVE to see it, but I'm thinking he ends up in NY. He wants a big stage, and while Houston is the 4th largest city, it's not a great television market. Still, the Rockets have always done a good job of landing big name talent, even if it doesn't always pan out (I'm looking at you, Scotty Pippen).

I say they trade him and wait till next year. Right in time for all the free agents. Off the top of my head, LeBron, Kobe, Wade, boozer, joe johnson, and amare Stoudemire are all unsigned free agents and that is just a few. Lot's of big play makers will be in the market, and 23 million is alot to play with.

As for LeBron, Nets are pretty set on picking him up. He will probably be the highest paid athlete once that contract is made, and just as he did with cleveland, he will not get a trophy.

I was really referring to how McGrady has a pattern of missing lots of games during his entire playing career and has had his toughness called into question. IMO the guy has no heart. The fans in Orlando were glad to see him go, just as the majority of Houston fans feel the same way. He misses too many games because he's always "injured".

I like T-Mac. I wish he could have worked out better for us. Maybe he will fit in better somewhere else.
