Wouldn't it look r****ded if this franchise traded away on the best talents in the game for (compared to McGrady) some scrubs, and then McGrady gets the rest he needs and comes back strong and lights it up, while the entire load is put on Yao's shoulders and we don't get anywhere...

Yes, the physical therapists of a certain NBA city would be jumping for joy.

All I can say to you mac haters that want him traded you better hope he fully recovers because that's the only way he could be traded. If he isn't healthy we are going to be stuck with this guy you hate so much until summer 2010.

This letter is well written. However, you must to a fool to think of trading TMac in this off season. TMac, when healthy, is still one of the top 2-3 perimeter players in the league. And even ifyou are desperately to move him, you cannot trade him when his stock is at probably the lowest level in the last 5-6 years thanks for his back injury.

If you really want to make a blockbuster trade, how about trying to move Yao? I guarantee that all the other teams will listen. With his stock soaring to all time high and his commercial appeal, you can probably trade him straight up with Duncan or Garnett. Do you want to do that?

No I don't.

Stop talking about trading Tmac. It's not gonna happen. YOu don't trade away a superstar when his stock is at all time low due to injury which is treatable.

Come back strong next season, Tmac!

i only intended to posit the idea of being openminded this offseason to ALL posibilities...all trades that could maximize yao's prime. could that include moving tmac? sure. would it be smart? probably not, because you want to sell "high", not "low". however, we should realize that our "window of opportunity" is just about to open. let's do everything we can to take advantage of it.

that could mean any number of possibilities, from trades to position changes (tmac to the 2?), to free agent pickups. who knows? point being, i don't want us (rockets) to be stagnant. sure, stability is a great thing, but so is progress, and from what i see, this roster does not have enough players that are on the "upswing" or in their absolute prime. we need more "bang for your buck" type players.
