After TMac admitted on TV that Yao is the franchise player and has every right to call his teammates out. He said he was "elated" when he heard Yao said that. Fake or real, but according to this story, right after that public interview, right after a hard-fought win against a great road team in Pistons, TMac CHOSE to lash out against Yao and EXPOSE his dirty plan, in front of ALL the witnesses.
I would imagine any people with an IQ higher than 50, would know by now, if he's openly advocating freezing Yao out, he just bought a one-way ticket out of any NBA team with Yao, Houston or not.
Well, maybe TMac is that dumb, or the story teller is even dumber.
I am also very shocked of the lacking of professionalism of US media, that they didn't report such explosive drama, NONE Of THEM did.
