    i have heard that yao is making progress and is getting closer to being healthy, but what about t-mac.. is he still having the back problems?

    wat if the back problems continue next season?
    he needs to come back fully healthy.. if he comes back like he did last season where he came back and messed up his back again and again.. that'll mess up our team again.. so im saying that if he is ready to come back, he better be sure that his back is completely ready, cuz i dont want him to keep on injuring it..

    McGrady's back problems are chronic. Which means they'll never go away. There will always be a chance that it will flare up and he'll miss a stretch of games. We just have to live with that.

    Do you reckon there is any chance you could find some way to do a Garnett/Tmac trade? Tmac has got constant injuries and Timberwolves need a shake up. If the Rockets could work something out, Yao and Garnett....

    Mac holds down the perimeter game while Yao plays down low.

    It sounds like a good trade on paper. Dont know if theyd both do it though. Garnett and Tmac would be Adidas dream team! I do hope that Tmac can get over the injury because i do like watching him play and he couldve been the 5th scorer to the race this season maybe even with Lebron and Kobe if he was in good shape.

    I don't think any team will take a chance on McGrady's injuries with one of their superstars. AI/KG are out. Unless he shows everyone he can play good next season over a stretch of games, we'd be lucky to get Richard Jefferson, or even Francis.

    With that said..damn I miss T-Mac. He barely played any games this season. I hope he recovers and we keep T-Mac. I remember when we were eliminated by Dallas last season I said T-Mac will be back, and then this crappy season started. Now we have to wait until next seaoson to see T-Mac. [​IMG]

    I was watchin a career highlight reel of tmac the other day on youtube.......hopefully the back doesn't act up on him this year, because watching those highlights brought back some sweet memories.

    I'm very sad at this guy's problems. He is so cool, good player and has passion for the game. His style is the best imo and he can dominate the perimeter just like Kobe if he could be healthy. He's long, dunks good, jumps high and is a jumpshooter.

    But I think that we have to forget his dunks...[​IMG]

    i heard tmac died.

    but realisticly, maybe tmac is just sulking, and pulling a VC.

    VC was injured all the time in toronto, but once he got to New Jersey, he was fine.

    Nah, even realistically, I don't see any reason pulling a VC. The the big reason Carter basically purposely lost games, at least to my knowledge, was because the franchise was doing jack to help his situation there and get the team winning. Meanwhile, Rockets acquired Alston, Anderson, and Swift to try and help the team. While two of those three of shown to have backfired, nevertheless the organization made moves to try to help the team in the right direction. McGrady isn't sulking, he's simply resting up for next season.
