So with the Rockets making it to the second round of the playoffs, something McGrady was never able to accomplish.  T-Mac's future in Houston is all but over.

The way Houston is composed right now, they have a star player, youth, and/or depth at every position. 

PG: Brooks, Lowry

SG: McGrady, Von Wafer

SF: Artest, Battier, Barry

PF: Scola, Hayes, Landry, Dorsey, Cook

C: Yao, Mutumbo(retiring???)

But if they are going to shop T-Mac, they have a huge hole to fill at SG and a lesser hole to fill at SF if Artest goes somewhere else.  So I was thinking that we could trade them Crawford, Maggette and change for T-Mac and his expiring contract.

The reason they would do it:  They are a veteran team that isn't getting any younger and would prefer to win now.  Their chance to be a legit championship contender is closing.  If they can grab a couple of vets it gives them a better shot at a title for the next 2-3 years.  They would have:

PG: Brooks, Lowry

SG: Crawford, Maggette, Von Wafer

SF: Artest, Maggette, Battier

PF: Scola, Hayes, Landry, Dorsey, Cook

C: Yao

For us, we get one year of T-Mac and are free of Crawford and Maggette's contracts.  Then we can rebuild the right way.

So GSOM, am I crazy or is this something good for both clubs?
