sure they haven't had that line-up for too many games.....but i think Tmac's playing days in Houston may be numbered and in the league.....it all hinders on how he recovers from his surgery because this current season he was such a liability.

Buy that bum T-Mac outta his contract. They played better without him. Shane isn't a natural fit for the 2, and he isn't the scorer T-Mac can be.... but you can't argue results. An actual victory in the playoffs and within 48 minutes of 2 victories..... T-Mac never brought ANY team that...

McGrady is done. Stick a fork in him. The results speak for themselves. There's an awful lot the Rockets could do with the money it costs to keep him. Including signing Artest.

There's no guarantee that McGrady can return next season, and if he does, he might be shell of his former self. He was never effective this season because he was injured. The only course might be to just let his contract expire and enjoy the extra cap room.

There's no guarantee that Artest and TMac will be back next season. Artest will want to get paid and the Rockets will have to go way over their salary cap to sign him. And there is also the 2010 free agency lottery. At least TMac will be out of the book by then.

that will be hard to do with half-man half-season T-Mac as one of the starters.

I would ABSOLUTELY not count on him-
his track record speaks for itself......
- maybe his knee gets better- but then his back will be bad-

Also he has basically been a jumpshooter for YEARS now-
the rockets need to think like he's not even there

Ron Artest WILL be a Rocket next season. There is no need to question that. However, if G.M. Darrel Morey can convince some sucker of a G.M. to take Tracy McGrady off his hands by all means he should do it.

The T-Mac era has to come to an end in Houston. One way or another.

Ron Artest will be back with the Rockets. Before the Rockets traded for Artest they knew he has 1 year contract left. So, obviously they know what Artest want.

Get rid of TMac ...easy decision.

how about Eddy curry and Larry Hughes ?
lol.... he could back Yao up & teach him how to eat

People is always talking about trading T-Mac. I never here people talk about trade Yao and Yao has missed more time than T-Mac. We talk about he has never led a team out of the first round, but he never had the supporting cast that they had this season, so lets see how he comes back from injury. We are a championship contender if everyone is healthy. We sign a decent back up center and be ready for next season.

Artest-No brainer resign him-$9-10 million a year seems more than fair.
Yao- do what u can with him, he hasnt lasted a full season in the past 4 years, sadly wont change in 2010.
TMAC-if u can find a moronic GM to take this absurd contract, by all means ship his A55 out for anyone or nothing even, just taking him off your books is compensation enough if not release him next year.

well said!

T-Macs contract will be done in 2010! Trade the expired contract, sign Artest, resign Wafer. There done!

Trade, Trade and Trade McGrady contracts, not really sure whats out there but you cannot depend on Mcgrady to lead the way any more with all of his injuries, I wonder what these team would of looked liked if everybody stayed healthy enough to play one full season.

If they can't trade T-mac, it's probably best to waive him. We all know Houston is much better off without him.
