    Thats what i meant by "leaves" shoulda been more specific. I honestly think that he'll retire here though. Our organization has been very loyal to our main guys.

    I wish we could trade T-Back for Josh Smith.....that would be amazing.

    T-Back is always going to be injured, there will always be something wrong with him.....he's never going to win anything.

    I dont understand why everyone feels the need to Bash mcgrady. What other team in the playoffs is as dependent one ONE player more than we are?!?! he's a playmaker, and he gets everyone else involved. Whens he's on the bench its so obvious he's not out on the court because we struggle mightily!

    Plus he's on the court for 43 mins with a fresh defender wearing him down everytime he touches the ball. Lets cut him some slack, he's also playing on a sore knee. He's still our best player, and the player who's hands we want the ball on in the 4th.

    By that logic should we also trade Yao Ming for Al Horford?

    Both trades would be dumb as hell for the Rockets to do.

    It's been 2 consecutive seasons that T-Mac has lead the Rockets into the playoffs w/o the likes of Yao Ming. I believe the Rockets have a chance to contend for the title if bot of them are healthy, a big IF. Ideal is to keep both for one more season. Lets be honest here, if the Rockets were faced with a decision to ship either TMAC or Yao, it would most certainyl be T-Mac. Though I personally think T-Mac is more valuable because he can create for himself and others and one only has to take a look at the teams overall record W/O him over the years to realize that this team depends heavily on him. The reason the team would keep Yao is simply this...you cannot expect EQUAL return for a guy like Yao, EVER. The NBA is first and foremost a BUSINESS, and any businessman with any sense knows that YAO is a HUGE Marketing Commodity. Whatever Yao's shortcomings are on the court they are offset by the fact that he earns Les Alexander and the team BOATLOADS of money. Though I believe T-Mac to be more valuable, he is the more "logical" one to be traded. In all honesty, this duo will be around for one more year and if they don't make at least the Western Conference Finals, it will be T-Mac's last hurrah.

    ... This is a joke, right?

    Otherwise, holy sweet mother of god, I thank the WORLD you are not our GM, or affiliated with the organization in any way.
