You can definitely get nearly any one of these players if the Rockets decide to trade Yao tomorrow. It's a legitimate thread that will pop up all the time before Yao leaves Houston for good.
Without Yao, we got blown out by the Spurs in the first game. We might have won the second game without him, but I doubt it. If you take out Yao's 13 points last night, we might have lost since Deke is just not that kind of offensive threat who needs even occasional double team from TD.
considering that Tmac is hurting now AND he still drives the lane from the right side (Yao gets on the left) - I think that you are mistaken. Yao wasn't clogging the lane Duncan, Horry, Parker, Genobilli, and Bowen were !
