Long offseason, not b/c of resigning ron, but knowing the state of Mcgrady's knee. However, the microfracture surgery was on the non weight bearing part of his knee, and is said to be actually rehabbing this time in Chicago with Michael Jordan's trainer, and is said to be way ahead of schedule. Supposedly, he is supposed to be ready for opening night next season. While he screwed the franchise by stopping the Vince Carter deal, I have mixed feelings about trading him right now. I just wanna know if he can be T-MAC again
I'd keep him if we can't get a good trade for him. He can't be worse than last season (I hope) and if we even get the 07-08 Tracy McGrady back, Rockets will be fine. Plus, Tracy McGrady is an expiring contract. That's $22 million off of the books at the end of the season.
first of all i dont think that cheerleader is pretty at all there is better looking rockets cheerleaders when i went to the rockets and spurs game, even some of them offered to take pictures with us with our spurs stuff but back to topic i think yall should have give him his last chance i still believe he is a 20 point peformer but i would take artest over mcgradyLong offseason, not b/c of resigning ron, but knowing the state of Mcgrady's knee.

the rockets are bettor off without him. its clear by this point.
we will give you bonner/udoka/mason for him
Does he have a no-trade clause? How could he stop the Carter deal?
He ended his season with that injury. Said he would be out of the year and broke the news to ESPN. No team wanted him after that.
You can't blame him for killing a Carter trade then; it's obvious the only reason New Jersey would trade for McGrady is to get his $23 million expiring contract that comes off the books in the summer of 2010 to replace Carter's $17 million that's on the books for that season.
No the should not keep T-Mac, Rockets should trade him to the Spurs for Matt Bonner. Fair trade :P
A deal was in place, so once he came out and said he was out for the season, New Jersey backed out, and so did the Clippers.
The rumor was that the Clippers offered Baron Davis and Kaman for Mcgrady, or something to that effect
Those are both straight salary dumps; no way either of those teams cared one way or the other about what McGrady would give them for 1 1/4 years. They probably wanted Houston to sweeten the pot a bit with one of their young guys like Landry or Brooks.
TMac sucks...to say he's le kryptonite is an insult to le kryptonite...he's more like second round kryptonite. Look beyond the numbers and dump his ass.
Personally I hope Houston keeps him, that way I know they won't be winning a le anytime soon.
You know teams still make players involved in trades take physicals right? You think T-Mac's injuries would have escaped the Net's or the Clippers' medical staff? Silly criticism.
For some reason, team doctors said he could play on the knee, so really don't know if passes the physical or not
At this point, the Rockets probably can't get much for him. In deciding whether to keep him or not, you have to find out what the Rockets could get for him. If there is an attractive enough trade package, sure, get rid of him. But, since his contract is expiring, that might just be as valuable for the Rockets. Would they make a trade for a couple of decent players if it meant adding longer contracts to the payroll? Again, depends who those players are. I'm guessing it would probably be in the Rockets' best interest to just hold onto him and let his contract expire after next season.
Still moot to criticize T-Mac for the trade not going down. If doctors says he's good to go, but T-Mac says he's out for the season anyway but just not publicly, then it's the same thing. You can criticize T-Mac for a lot of things, but blaming him for that trade not going down is a weak criticism. And regardless, why would the Rockets want to add Vince's contact to their payroll anyway? Vince Carter wouldn't have dramatically helped them this year and his contract is bad for the next couple of years.
I would think there would be no need for a physical if the Clippers could get rid of Davis' contract or the Nets Carters'. I seriously doubt Danny Ferry or Keith Van Horn took one when they were moved to match salary.
Then they would have made the deal anyway even after T-Mac said he was done for the season, right?
Yeah, which is why I can't understand Rocket fan scapegoating him.
Yea you mean like the Spurs should have kept Scola?
hahaha that worthless piece of ...... NOOOOO
Yes. Houston lacks perimeter scoring and a healthy (lol) T-Mac is one of the best perimeter scorers in the L.
Keep his expiring contract and sign Bosh in 2010
I'm saying it now; I think that Mcgrady will be a comeback story after this OS.
He had a MF surgery, but on a non-weight bearing portion of the leg, so it's not as career-ending as it sounds.
He also wants (I hope) to stay in the NBA longer than his contract dictates, so he'll work damn hard (I hope).
I'm predicting pre-injury numbers. 21/x/x at the best.

I say keep him. If it doesn't work out, bench him for the rest of the season and start looking for ways to spend 22mil =)
Wow that has to be the most positive Rocket's related post I've ever seen from you.
