Twitter is sponsoring this article by the way, so please forgive me ahead of time, because I will be name dropping them as much as I can. Their check cleared son, in this economy, thats a good partnership.

Since this is the age of twitter, I figured what if the Houston Rockets fired T-Mac using twitter. I'm sure some of you have heard of people getting fired via text messages; so why not give Twitter a chance to also join in ruining someone's day.

Imagine a tweet from Daryl Morey.

Morey: Hello tweet nation & my beloved Moryites, we just traded that lazy bearded slug

tweet from T-Mac

Mac: yo Morey, come here. Which one of the slugs.

Morey listening to an old school Bob Marley playing in the background

Bob Marley-  ...and who the cap fits, let him wear it....

Morey stops tape for a second and tweets

Morey: McGrady might want to watch espn all day tomorrow, that's where we will be announcing what team he was traded to and for who or what.

Mac: You know I can use my no trade clause, right !!!!!!

Morey: No one was dumb enough to include a no trade clause in your contract and you were too cross eyed to see fit to ask for one.

Mac: I didn't mean the one in my contract. I meant I can get on ESPN tonight and claim that I just had a season ending injury before my trade hits the air tomorrow.

Morey: {(thinking)Just for that, I definitely won't have any nightmares over the trade we just made.}

tweet from Morey

Morey: The Houston Rockets just traded Tracy McGrady to the Shanghai Sharks for undisclosed players, favors, and money considerations. Yao said he can absorb Mac's $22 million paycheck. He insisted he will use traditional painful Asian methods to finally make a man out of T-Mac.

Morey: zèng bié Bitches, Morey Out

T-Mac:  no....no Morey no. please don't.........
