But Tracy McGrady hasn't been that player in a long, long time. He's on the downside of his career. You can point to his age all you want, but based on the number of games played and his injuries, his career is, without question, on a severe downswing.
He may recover a bit with a fresh start, but him recovering would mean he's a serviceable member of a rotation. His days of being an all star are over, and his days of being a top player in the league are long, long over.
Teams don't give up on someone they believe to be an all star caliber player simply because he needs a new start. If the Rockets felt like McGrady had anything positive to contribute to their team, he'd be playing for them.
Seriously, people are frustrated with Josh and his somewhat questionable ability to play through injuries. I get that. But have you people followed McGrady's career at all? He's not some guy that's been racked by devastating injuries. He's consistently shown an unwillingness to play through any kind of injury.
I just don't get the McGrady thing. He.is.done.
