It's not hypothetical, it's stupid. I would not visit this site or watch another game again if that move was pulled. I think that I would apply for the GM position empty-handed, no resume or background. Think about Andre Miller wide open on the left wing for 3. Teams would triple/quadruple Yao all day. And then here comes Joe "no show like Stro Show" Smith. That would throw us in the Greg Oden aka "Dwight Howard divided by 2.3" I'll go with McGrady all the way. With what he does for this team and we not being in rebuilding mode, it makes no sense to make a trade that gets you 75 cents per dollar. Or in this case, a dime a dollar.
45 people said NO. I am not going to read any posts because I can already tell that it's a bunch of worthless crap by YOFs and bandwagoners. reading this kind of stuff increases the risk of heart disease for me.
