The Rockets seem to still be stuck in a bit of a jam. They have what everybody wants -- a quality big man in his prime. They also have some excellent role players, and one of the game's top perimeter stars. But, as the clock ticks on all of those players, they continue to lack a clear solution at point guard, and most importantly, they continue not to win as much as they hope to.

At some point, you wonder, might the team decide that Tracy McGrady is not the right star to pair with Yao Ming? People have theorized about that for years -- just as they theorize about rebuilding practically every team.

Yesterday, Chris McCosky of the Detroit News wrote:

The topic of Tracy McGrady came up in the Pistons' locker room before a game last week. McGrady is now injured and unhappy in Houston. Reports there say he has told friends he wants to be traded -- again.

One player, who shall remain nameless, joked that McGrady was becoming more and more like his cousin, Vince Carter. "They should call Tracy, 'half-man, half a season,'" the player cracked.

Who knows if McGrady is on the trading block at all. My thought was -- is it even possible to trade Tracy McGrady? With his salary and the makeup of the team, are there viable trades that even make sense? Some smart people played around with the trade machine and came up with a bunch of scenarios that work salary-cap wise.
