    1 Click only the trades you would do.

    2 A non-click for a particular choice is the same as a no.

    3 More than one can be selected so click each trade you agree with.

    4 If you would not do any of them, please choose only the last option.

    Lastly, don't worry about filler players. Just trying to get an overall snapshot of opinion.

    I would try to get Billups without giving up T-Mac.

    the only way I even consider trading Tracy Mcgrady to Detroit is for Sheed, Rip and Stuckey. I know that they wouldn't do that deal but that is what it would take for me. I would throw in a Novak or Head from our end to make that deal work. The truth is we are going to see Tmac and Yao play out the next 2yrs

    I would do Billups and Rip without batting an eye. And probably the Billups+Prince trade, but not the other deals. If we're going to deal Mcgrady, I'd definitely want a quality PG coming back.

    I have always like Tayshaun Prince. I think he's the kind of player who can help a team to win championship...not flashy, don't need the ball to be effective, does all the dirty works..etc

    That said. No thanks. I wouldn't trade Tmac for any of the Piston players. But I will be jumping up and down if we can get Tayshaun without giving up Tmac or Yao.

    Man imagine billups can come and fill up our pg weekness, and prince is still young and talented still have room to develop. But i will rather keep tracy since he's the core of the team right now...why break up a team that won 22 in a row in the nba?

    Here's the thing. I tried to be realistic. I think Maxiel and Stuckey are untouchable and Dumars will stand pat before trading either guy.

    None of the above.

    I will trade BJ + SF for Billups or Rip. Throw in some picks if Joe Dumars bites.

    you need Rip in the deal. let the ball go through yao and let rip run around the court hitting the mid range jumpers. yao will find him with his passing skills. we already have battier, so we dont need tayshaun. billups would have a bigger impact.

    yao
    scola
    battier
    rip
    billups

    Rip and Billups would made for a reasonable deal.....for the Rockets. As I have said before, TMac's value is probably as high as it is going to get. If you look at the numbers game to game, his shooting percentages were really atrocious this last season. He took too many shots and made too few, not a good sign. In past seasons, shooting was one of his strong points. I am concerned that further decline is about to happen. He is a very "old" player in terms of mileage. I would like to see a deal. The Yao/TMac thing is really growing tired, time to move on. But, this is likely more of a "tease' than a possibility.

    Rip and Billups is a fair deal considering Tracy's health issues. I hope we could also get a 1st round pick as well in a trade. I would rather prefer to surround Yao and Tracy with more talent rather than making a trade though which is obviously going to be very difficult with our resources. Any trade is going to cost us a lot which complicates things.

    gotta say, i'm kinda surprised that, with Battier signed but Landry (& Dorsey) not signed, "Rip + Tayshaun" beat out "Rip + Sheed."

    I'd do T-Mac for the Pistons' starting back court. T-Mac for Billups+Prince is tempting, but we'd have a hole at SG, and Prince and Battier are somewhat redundant.
