    Houston acquires: Chris Bosh and Andre Igoudala

    Philadelphia acquires: Tracy McGrady

    Toronto acquires: Samuel Dalembert, or Elton Brand, with Brian Cook, and Joey Dorsey

    <<The most plausible possibility is Washington's Caron Butler. ESPN The Magazine's Chris Broussard mentioned a possible deal that would involve McGrady's expiring deal going to Washington and perhaps Randy Foye or Mike Miller also heading to Houston.>>

    Thanks for posting the article.

    That is a trade that would make us A LOT better, provided we don't give up too many of our prospects.

    Get it done Morey!

    That would be highway robbery. Toronto would NEVER do that EVER... Philly might just to dump contracts.

    Does Toronto hire Isiah Thomas as your GM in your scenario?

    If we hope to hang with the Lakers or have a chance at beating them in a 7 game series, we better go get a center and two-guard.

    Only if we could aquire 2 "major" pieces. Only if...

    He's right about what we need, a dynamic wing but were trading it, it's ridiculous how Rockets are letting personal issues get in the way of what this team needs.

    I don't think that is a fair deal, Toronto is getting too many great players, they should get Brian Cook and Joey Dorsey ONLY, two guys with great superstar potential. Also, the Rockets might want to trade Carl Landry for Dwight Howard, then trade Aron Brooks for Lebron James. What do you think?

    This one should be more realistic;

    Houston acquires:

    Bosh
    Iguodala
    Calderon
    Kapono

    Toronto acquires:

    Dalembert(next year will be a trade asset)
    Scola(Cheap talent)
    Ariza ( I dunno what to say but take it as a cheap ''talent'')
    Lowry ( Legit young guard)

    Philly acquires:

    T-Mac( huge expring)
    Chase Budinger ( potentially stacked young gun)


    Brooks/Calderon
    Iguodala/Taylor/Wafer(Sign him)
    Shane/Kapono
    Landry/Hayes
    Bosh/Andersen/Yao(next year)

    and next year slide Bosh to 4 and boom, you're a contender for next 4-5 years.
