Don't even try to think, that we can get a dominant or good bigman for T-Mac + filler. It's not that time, train passed away a few years ago with Pau trade and now Morey can't get something out of nothing, especially in 4-5 positions. He's not even want to do it. Les trust in Yao, Morey have to trust in him to. we have very good frountcourt in Scola, Yao, Carl, Andersen and Chuck of the bench. There is no need to change something and to there is no place to feed the new guy, especially if we lose Luis and Landry, who are playing extremely well in point of productivity to every cent of their salary throughout their careers in Houston. But we haven't good perimeter players. Ariza is a garbage scorer, nothing more. He haven't any talent and basketball IQ to became something more than that. Brooks can't play defence and he is not so productive with Yao and halfcourt offensive game, cause he is not a creator, not a PG (he is Jason Terry #2, extremely fast scorer with long range, who can be very effective as a sixth man at 1-2), Lowry and Chase are a role players, Jermaine is.... I think, that DM is focusing now on Rip, Baron, Caron Butler... Very good and talented veterans, who can play defence and became the second stars in that team behind Great wall. And don't think that we a have a lot of chances to get Kevin Martin, but he may be 50/50 addition on our roster. If he will healthy - we can play very good, cause Rick knows him and K-Mart progress in Kings linuep had started, when Adelman started trusting in him. But if he'll started to be a nightmare of our medical stuff, it would be worst deal, that we can imagine and it would kill any Rockets chances on contending in future. Morey has a lot to think about. There is almost no win/win situations, except Caron Butler addition, bit we need to see a huge wizards fall, that can rise our chances on it.

More money to chase free agents (like the Ty Thomas for Harrington rumor). Possibly upgrade at SG if Mcgrady does come back healthy. If they could actually sign a guy like Wade, resign Mcgrady (which has been rumored to CHI before), all of a sudden with the current talent they have, could possibly make for a legit team in the East.
Why would they give up miller and salmons who makes mle money? I'm sure they can get alot more for salmons and miller than tracy and taylor. Not to mention, as it stands, they can offer wade a max deal right now
I dont know. I have read T-Mac being linked to Chi many times in the past. As you said, they can offer Wade max now. Well, with Mcgradys contract, they could actually go out and sign another decent free agent also (Gay, Harrington, Lee, hell even resign TMac, etc.) I think this deal is more realistic than most I read on here.
Should the Rockets target Andre Iggy? You would have to take Brand or Dalembert off their hands, but Im guessing they would only offer Brand. Tmac for Brand+Iggy, would you take it on?
Im sure the 76ers are salivating at the possibility of an A.I. & T-mac backcourt. Washed up superstars ftw!
Iggy is incredibly talented. He's their franchise player. They are not trading him but he would look awesome in a Rockets uni.
I would say yes, but I would rather have Danny Granger if I were to go after someone from the bad East teams. I don't think either are attainable yet though. Granger and Ariza would be a nightmare defensively. Then again, Iguodala and Ariza would be too. The only problem is they all play the SF position naturally, not SG. The sad thing is McGrady at their age is far superior of a player to either of them. Oh well, poor guy just has bad genes I guess. He can't seem to stay healthy or keep his head out of his a$$.
