with and without yao, this team challenged the fakers in the playoffs last season and dragged it to a g7. average? i think not.
I actually don't think that. I think as it is, just adding Yao would make us a dark horse champ contender, and that's without adding a decent replacement wing for McGrady. As it is, simply constructing a 50-win team without two superstars is already enough of an achievement, and we'll see what Morey can do with McGrady's contract.
