Icock22 Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 if all of them are healthy then they should be a solid playoff team Quote Link to comment
Pepeng Manas Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 now that's what im talkin about. tmac should take it to the hole more often instead of taking turn around contested jump shots. he embarrassed thomas on that dunk (against the bulls)! Quote Link to comment
TidusJanus Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 ^ I don't think T-Mac should be taking anything to the hole...wait, maybe his career should be taken to the hole already as it seems like it's already on its way there. Quote Link to comment

Yep. Definitely. What T-Mac and the Rockets have is a contract. T-Mac's obligation is to play for the Rockets and other conditions set in the contract whereas the Rockets are obliged to give T-mac payment for the service that he renders for the team. Now if T-Mac decides to retire, he won't be able to perform his obligations and therefore, non-fulfillment of his obligation to play for the Rockets will mean that the Rockets won't have to pay him anymore because it would unjustly enrich T-Mac. haha Sorry, had to apply simple Oblicon to illustrate what will happen if he decides to retire. But basically, yeah, retirement should erase T-Macs salaries off the books of the Rockets therefore creating a huge cap space for the Rockets. Quote Link to comment

TMAC: we love you as a rocket, so retire with the rockets. DO IT NOW! hehehe! Edited February 12, 2009 by Pepeng Manas Quote Link to comment

dencio Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 ^^ On behalf of the Rockets, I'd gladly accept this trade! :hypocritesmiley: Many thanks for taking T-Mac off of our hands. Good luck to the Lakers! Can't wait for the fireworks! Quote Link to comment

kev90 Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 what do you guys think of the rocket's chances at winning it all this year? seems like they aren't gonna make it again this year due to injuries. Their team looks good on paper e but their stars have not played at the same time for a long stretch which will be a big factor because they haven't gotten that "chemistry" going because of injuries Quote Link to comment
TidusJanus Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Their chances? They don't have any to begin with. haha Another first round exit for these hospital mainstays. I think the Rockets big 3 have had more time in hospital beds than playing on the court. Quote Link to comment

I think the Rockets big 3 have had more time in hospital beds than playing on the court. yeah i guess you're right. even with the addition of ron artest, the rockets are still not looking like contenders. everybody was saying that artest was the "missing piece" injuries are still killing them. will they ever get healthy enough to contend? age is creeping up on tmac, he's already lost the explosiveness he's displayed in the past Quote Link to comment
