We're also aware that McGrady has never, ever, ever played the entire 82 games in a NBA season. And he has had 11 seasons to accomplish that feat. With those facts withstanding, conventional wisdom says that McGrady would sit his tail down until he's completely healed from microfracture surgery on his left knee. But as you've probably guessed, McGrady is not interested in dealing in conventional wisdom. Only getting...

According to GM Daryl Morey, however, T-Mac may be a bit presumptuous. Last night, McGrady and the team that employs him sent mixed messages about Tracy’s return to action. All sorts of media outlets were used by the two sides to communicate their sides of the story. Here’s the Houston Chronicle, a...
