Which part of why would you want to get rid of one injury prone player for another injury prone player do you not understand. McGrady maybe injured yes but who isn't this whole damn team is injury prone. If that's the case might as well just blow it up and start over.
Sigh, why do I even bother....I look forward to seeing what you do when we trade him..... BTW - Vince has missed 11 games in the last 4 years....Tmac has missed more than 100..... DD

My dream 2010 lineup: SG: Goku / Spiderman PG: Sonic the Hedgehog / Aang the Avatar C: Optimus Prime / Lord Voldemort SF: Master Chief PF: Naruto Uzumaki / Bowser Coach: Jeff Van Gundy Waterboy: Eric Cartman Make it happen with your epic wizardry, Morey! Possible areas of worry for this lineup: > It will be difficult handling proper payment to everybody. For instance, Sonic will demand rings, while Master Chief will demand plasma grenades, and Lord Voldemort will demand immortality. Seeing that these other means of payment aren't very liquid (the immortality market is particularly sparse), the Rockets will struggle to satisfy everybody's specific payment demands, even if everybody fits under the salary cap (in dollar terms). > Big heads and clashing personalities are a huge concern. Jeff Van Gundy is primarily brought about to keep Lord Voldemort's ego in check and to make sure he doesn't kill any Muggles. Also, we're not sure how Voldemort will feel coming off the bench behind the veteran Optimus Prime. Naruto is also known for being really, really stupid and for having strange man-crushes on emo village traitors. Van Gundy will also have to work on Goku and make sure he doesn't take more than an entire half to power up to Super Saiyan 3, because young boys all over the world have already wasted too much time watching entire Dragonball Z episodes showing only Goku powering up. Plus, that would mean that Goku's not playing defense. > We're really thin at small forward. Sure, Master Chief can defeat Halo on Legendary mode by himself, but even he needs backup to earn all 16 wins during the NBA postseason. > The locker room. No, this isn't an issue about how everyone gets along in the locker room. It's just an issue about the locker room itself. There's no way Optimus Prime can fit inside Toyota Center's locker room!
That's probably as real as it could get aside from us possibly getting a legit big to help out Yao. Gortat or Birdman would sound sweet. A Francis return is also realistic. I could see him contacting the Rockets and them having talks, Rockets inviting him to Training Camp and playing to earn a spot and start phase 1 of redeeming himself. At best he'd probably take Lowry's job as backup and even start a couple games over Brooks for size, which definitely would depend on how well he's playing and how quickly he returns back to form.
The same line up as last season plus a serviceable sg and a back up center. This would probably be enough to make a run at the title. Of course, Being healthy is essential.
This has GOT to be the post of the year. I was cracking up all throughout this. If I had rep giving abilities, you would be on the receiving end of my powers. Having Aang and Spiderman on your team would be cheating, seeing as how they could airbend the ball straight into the hoop, or webswing with the ball, so as not to ever get called for traveling.
Brooks/Lowry Joe Johnson or Caron Butler / Wafer Artest/Battier Scola/Landry Yao/Tyson Chandler or Birdman.
If anybody can do it it would be Morey some how his moneyball numbers will be convincing. But I do dissagree with one thing. I would move Sonic to the 2. I's start Spiderman at point the way he shoots that web image if the ball was attach he be the best passer in history I like Bowser coming off the bench. He would have foul trouble starting. I'd rather he go by his real name though King Koopa.
