RA rips tmac for not talking to the team about the situation first. Dude is still getting opinions?? WTF what for? So he can finally have one doctor say he needs surgery? "tracy there's nothing wrong with your knee" Tmac: "but it hurts sooo much doctor + plus I don't want to be traded".....
People get 2nd opinions when the 1st doctor doesn't tell you something you want to hear. Tmac's had how many "opinions" now? I think we all know what's going on here.

T-Mac is running himself out of town, Adelman showing obvious frustration, players with an indifferent attitude, McGrady has worn out his welcome with his poor work ethic, (Please Use More Appropriate Word) attitude and how he's approaching and handling all these situations. It's funny too, considering he was one of the more liked figure in Houston sports, leading the Rockets to the playoffs, it's funny how quick things change.

Re: [ESPN] T-Mac will miss the remainder of season (link: pg. 2)
It's a post from CF. guy writes what he heard from jonathan feigen in radio just before a short time ago.
listened to some of it before I got to work and I'll recap on what I heard:
- Thinks TMac will definitely have the surgery otherwise he wouldn't have announced it to the media.
- Organization had a game plan to have TMac visit multiple doctors and get opinions and, once they gathered all the info, they all were going to huddle up and come up with the best solution.
- Thinks there is always a chance TMac could always turn around in the next few days and says he'll just play through it and put any surgery on hold but reiterated that he really believes he will have the surgery now.
- Asked about TMac's future with the Rockets. Basically just talked about him getting back on the court.
- Said this microfracture surgery will not be anywhere as serious as other's like Mashburn, etc who never played again.
- TMac's surgery would be on the non-weight bearing part of the knee, so the recovery will not be as extensive and he has a chance to come back and play again.
- Said he would imagine his comeback from the surgery would be more like Webber who came back and was effective, but just not going to be the player he was before.
- Part of the rehab from microfracture involves tedious regiment for hours each and every day and not doing anything but that on the knee despite how good it might feel. "Will TMac have the discipline to do just that?"
- He thinks that TMac, after the recovery, will be an effective player who you'll see flashes of his prime, but you'll never see him "tear down the rim over Bradley" anymore.
- On chances the Rockets make a deal. Says probably but will be smaller moves.
- Says many teams are looking for economic relief and the Rockets feel they have a good chance of buying a 1st-round pick for this offseason.
- Says anything else will be just small like trading Head.
- Said the organization felt the were in play for a "very good player who you think could be an all-star at times". But, now it seems that deal is unlikely. Says, if it were not for the TMac fiasco yesterday, he thinks he could have gotten the name of that player from someone.
- talking a lot about McGrady. Jon said he thinks McGrady will come back for sure, but he will not be what he was in Orlando (he still can be good, though). He said it is a very serious surgery and the most important thing is rehab, you gotta make it every single day and some guys just give up thinking they are ok... He even said he thinks he will play here in Houston. What is more, he said it is not sure that McGrady is out, he heard some people talking that Mac may change his decision in few days (after visiting another Doctor)
- he thinks the rockets are gonna make a deal but is will probably be a minor trade. the team is not afraid of taking back big contract but it is not gonna be anyting major (Vince Carter f.e. )
- he thinks we can get out of the 1st round this year, for example against Hornets or even Blazers. They will have to shoot 3s well and Yao will have to dominate though. A lot will depend on matchups.
