Very interesting. Is the team not happy w/Macha's work? Bungled Battier rehab,was sent to accompany McGrady on his Doctor's Tour this Feb yet team was supprised when McGrady announced he was done. His voice was prob key in McGrady's decision last yr and Yao's treatment this yr. Is the team looking at how quickly McGrady is improving under Grover this yr vs last yr under Macha?
Or is Eto one of the key people behind scenes in Phoenix's med staffs excellent work. Could the team be looking for a little magic from him on McGrady and later Yao as well as a vet they might be eyeing at the 5?
Or is this just the Rockets looking for any edge,not unhappy w/anyone,just trying to improve all facets of the team?

The Rockets need someone from the Suns medical staff.

I say it's about time Rockets improved their medical staff !! Might be a little bit late. But better late than never!

Someone needs a Nobel Prize for keeping Grant Hill healthy.
