    Absolutely NO! When TMac finishes his transition to our play-maker, nobody could ever stop him and the Rockets!

    I was almost a 100% sure that he would join KG in Minny. It's destiny that the two ringless legends would get together to make that one final push for the championship.

    Unless they're playing the Rox, that would be a very easy team to root for...

    AI wants to go to Minnesota because he will get a big man who,

    1) Is one of the best in the game
    2) Will not take away shots from AI.

    AI is not stupid. He knows in KG he will get best of both worlds.

    Rockets should jump in and try to get something out of a 3-way trade if anything is possible.

    PS. I wouldnt trade Tmac for Iverson. Iverson is a blackhole. Yao would be taken out of the equation with Iverson on board.

    I like Iverson's heart and all but he is just a bad fit for a team built around Yao Ming. Tmac might be heartless when compared to AI but Tmac brings everything else to the team....

    Rockets still search for that missing piece around Yao/Tmac.....

    bs. what kind of a thread is this? one month in and we're talking tmac trades? iverson needs to dominate the ball and is not nearly as versatile as tmac. is he going to make yao better? maybe on the occasional drive and dish to yao for the dunk, but thats it. seriously, you guys are complaining about tmac and how he's taking too many ill advised shots? then you turn around and say you want iverson? unbelievable.

    Shooting percentage? drving to the paint? assist? Fighting spirit? leadership?

    If they would take Bonzi ( a player I can never root for ) I would do it.

    t-mac for AI, one to one trade? NO
    the chemstry of Yao and t-mac are good,
    we are winning now, tonight is another blowout game,
    i feel good about this team.

    but 76ers is doing very bad, so NO.
    AI always has a selfishness problem,
    when Yao needs the ball, t-mac will give.
    AI, he may or may not give the ball to Yao.

    But if 76ers may want add some other talent
    and take some of our bad contracts,
    like JHo, JL3, Sura (assume he will play no more).
    we might do it, coz AI is tougher than t-mac
    t-mac is too fragile

    You YOF will die with AI. he will jackup 30 shots and destroy yao's game. not all superstars are as unselfish as tracy. not to mention tracy in the last 2 weeks has been getting his game back.

    Tracy come the playoffs> better then a ballhog like Iverson.tracy is a better defender, shooter, rebounder and scoring will eventually will evenout. tracy dosent need to jackup 30 shots anymore.

    Leadership my ass. Iverson refuses to even train. tracy is a better defender, rebounder, shooter and so on. to call a man who refuses to practise a leader is stupid. show's how little you know. next time think a little.

    Well, YOFs would definitely have a heart attack if we get AI...AI is an alpha male -- Yao is not -- and he would definitely become the undisputed #1 option; he would not 'defer' to Yao in a million years, nor would guys like Kobe who're of the same pedigree.

    So yes, from a YOF perspective, AI would be a nightmare...
