Just curious, do you have any idea who Battier or McGrady will be traded for? Will it be a financial move or trading for younger talent or someone thats already proven.

Likely and Unlikely for the pres-season: 1. Rockets trade Mac for Bosh (unlikely) 2. Ariza breaks out to star status (unlikely) 3. Rockets actually figure out which line up they use (unlikely) 4. Rockets win a majority of the games (likely) 5. Rockets lose a play to injury (likely) 6. Steve Francis come back (unlikely) 7. Rockets are punished for standing too much during games by replacement referees (likely) 8. McGrady shows up to half the games in support of his team (unlikely) 9. Yao shows up to half the games in support of his team (likely) 10. Morey does something that appears small but is later to be revealed as amazing… (likely)
exactly... they are confusing. Inspired by the confusing nature of the original, I made a likely unlikely version of my own with predictions.
I think we'll slip a few slots on offense, and slip to around 10th in the league on defense. That would project out to slight better than .500 -- 42-43 wins. But so much of that depends on what we get out of McGrady.

How do you guys not expect McGrady to score over 20 PPG? If he is indeed healthy, that is easy for him. With Yao out, and MORE fast break opportunities, expect more shots as well.
