A few articles around saying that T-Mac or Yao being traded would be a good thing.. what do you guys think?

At the moment things aren't travelling real well with Houston. After a promising start with a new coach, the same ol problems are starting to rise up once again. T-Mac and Yao are doing most of the scoring and the 4 position is still a gaping wound that every team seem to want to prod.

I've never been a real massive fan of Yao... good numbers, but he is too much of a freak. Personally I don't think he'll be going anywhere, especially with the chinese nba market revolving around him. So if Houston don't want to lose him and the money they're going to have to improve on court to keep fans happy.

Personally i would like to see:

Alston moved on in a trade for picks
Brooks more game time
Chuck Hayes to be playing 15 minutes less per game and Scola 15 minutes more.

Houston are capable of playing well, but don't seem capable of playing well for a stretch, hence why they seem to struggle in the playoffs.

I like the look of Scola. Can't understand why Steve Francis isn't getting more of a look.
 
Many think he's well past it but I can't understand why they haven't tried to sign C-Webb to team up with Adelmen again. He's good for offense for 20-25 minutes a night and he knows the system inside out, and with Yao there C-Webb won't be responsible for defending the rim anyway.
 
I think the team should be

PG/Francis
SG/Mcgrady
SF/Battier
PF/Scola
C/Yao

Then substitute on James, Brooks and Wells as Guards and Hayes, Mutumbo and trade Alston for a Draft Pick/Forward

I was with you until that part.

Still, would be fun to see it happen...was a fantastic player to watch in Adelman's system.
 
I am a massive Rockets fan and you just gotta wonder whether the Yao/Mcgrady combo will ever prosper. At the moment I'd prefer Yao because of his impact in the post and with McGradys injuries I am starting to doubt whether his body is really up to scratch.
 
It's pretty clear McGrady's body isn't up to it.

I'd move him if possible before his value declines.
