<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Rocket star Tracy McGrady was on a few Houston radio stations on Tuesday to promote his upcoming celebrity softball game, and discussed the upcoming Rocket season. "Next year man, we're going to be hell. We are going to be there," said McGrady when referring to having watched the 2005 playoffs after the Rockets were eliminated. "I think Stromile Swift is a good addition to our team. Having everybody back for a full complete year that we brought in, with all the trades last year, and adding a couple more pieces and having healthy guys ... if we had Juwan Howard last year, it would have been a different series." "I think next year it's going to be real exciting, man. Towards the end of the season is when I felt real comfortable with our arena. The beginning of the season I was a little shaky. I really wasn't too comfortable with the arena. I'd go out on the road and I'd give somebody like 30 or 40 [and] our team would play great, but we just didn't play that well at home last season. I think we're going to complete it this year. We're going to set our goals extremely high." </div> It's great to hear T-Mac's Confidence in us, and how he's gotten comfortable playing in our Arena and it looks like our Veterans (Dikembe and Jon) just might be making a comeback!

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Dan Le:</div><div class="quote_post"> Full Article</div> does this mean that stromile swift has signed with the rockets or what????????
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Terminator-X:</div><div class="quote_post">does this mean that stromile swift has signed with the rockets or what????????</div> Well he hasn't signed yet I don't think, but he's agreed to sign with us.
Yeah he's agreed, but no one is allowed to sign FA's until the CBA is ratified. Tat might be in this week apparently.
Man one thing I love about McGrady is dudes confidence....I've never felt so comfortable about someone leading our team since the days of Hakeem.....I'm with Tmac if we can get another piece or two, there's no telling how far this team can go.
I think with adding Stromile, Houston would be at the top of the Western Conference! Hopefully, Damon comes and joins Houston and make next season "Great". *************HOUSTON ROCKETS*******************
Alot of people in here didn't want Swift, I'm glad he's finally here. Good to see Tmac happy. I agree with Dream, I've never felt more comfortable with somebody leading our team. Tmac is the man!
It's funny, alot of people in here didn't want Swift, I'm just glad he's finally here. Good to see Tmac happy. I agree with Dream, I've never felt more comfortable with somebody leading our team. Tmac is the man!
I started feeling comfortable with Tmac's leadership skills during the Dallas series. EDIT: TMAC is on 610 right now.
Most people in here didn't say they didn't want Swift, but said there were better options. I was one of them. I always said that I would beh appy with Swift but would rather see Donyell in the team.

McGrady has been bordering on cockiness since his days in Orlando with his confident comments but I share his optimism on next season. We bring back the same chemistry that was so vital to our success last season and we added Stromile Swift, who I still am not a fan of, but the best option left on the market and was tens of millions dollars below my expected contract for Stro. I hope that this would mean that Swift is willing to take less money to play for a title, and it would be great for the Rockets if Swift is willing to work hard to help the team there.

I'm just stating my opinion like everybody else in here who post comments. I haven't disrespected anybody or used profanity, so why would you have a problem with my comments. I for one, and a couple of other people vouched for Swift while others hated. Tmac wanted him here, so I guess he's better than what alot of you thought he was. Thank you
I think he was talking about your double post (which is now taken care of), not of u using profanity or anything.

I was referring to what SupraJames was talking about, you had your first post state something then 1 minute later you posted the same thing except with a few more words at the start, talk about being paranoid. I can't remember that many people who 'hated' Swift, the majority just said that they would prefer someone else. Also to say that Swift is better then what alot of people here thought he was just because T-Mac wanted him here is a really well odd comment, I mean we all love T-Mac here but just because he says or thinks something, doesn't mean he's right, he, like us has his own opinions and in this case I agree with him but say tomorrow he says we should trade Yao for Robert Swift I wouldn't agree with it just because T-Mac thinks it would be a good trade...

Many posters have already explained tha we all liked Swift, but we liked others better. No one HATED Swift. Even Trip, who was the most vocal about the issue said that Swift would be a good addition, but Donyell was a better fit. So how will you respond to this post? Are you going to repeat what you've said 4 times in this thread already?
