Tmac got what deserved. You"ll never hear me say players shouldnt be about the momey but the way he abandoned the rockets in the middle of the season we had artest was just sickening. I defended him for years but that moment changed my outlook on him. He wasnt a superstar. He wasnt in the league with the kobes or iverson.
Rockets had a legit shot with him, yao and artest and that supporting cast and morey knew is which is why he traded rafer alston so that aaron brooks could start. Tmac had a shoulder injury but it wasnt anything too serious that had to be done about right away but he was worried about his final year of his contract(which was the next seaso) and wanted to have a strong season so he forfeited that season with artest so he can come back strong the next season and try to get one last big contract. This fool forfeited his best chance to win a ring so he can get a another contract. Rick adelman was really pissed about that cuz he went and shut down his own season that year without consulting with adelman, morey, or his teammates.
He did all that and was unsucessful because he har his worst season to that point in his career the next season, quitted on the rockets in the toronto game and got traded to basket purgitory to play at MSG
moment to see him finally get a ring :jjbwow2:
