He's a huge expiring contract and still one of the biggest names in the game - there's gotta be teams out there willing to give something for him right? Put your trade proposals here!
Trade proposal 1:
To Houston:
Andrei Kirilenko (2yr remaining)
Kyle Korver (1yr remaining)
To Philadelphia:
Tracy McGrady
To Utah:
Elton Brand (4yr remaining)
Jason Kapono (1yr remaining)
For Houston, they get in return a versatile wingman who should play well under Adelman, and a rental shooter in Korver. Philly gets to experiment with a T-Mac/AI tag team for one year, and rebuild next year as they get rid of Brand's big contract. Utah gets another shooter in Kapono, and security in the PF position with Brand as Boozer is likely to be gone by next year.
Trade Proposal 2:
To Milwaukee:
Tracy McGrady
To Houston:
Michael Redd (2yr remaining)
Hakim Warrick (1yr remaining)
Redd's been playing like crap since coming back, but like they say you should always pick up a stock when it's low. He's a talented player with a natural shooting touch and will give us some much needed scoring power. Hakim's a hustle player who should fit well with our team chemistry. For Milwaukee, they get rid of disgruntled Redd, and cap room to rebuild around Bogut and Jennings after T-Mac's contract expires. 'til then, T-Mac and Jennings should be a very fun 1-2 combo to watch for.

You know, I just dont know if there really is anyone worth going after right now. I want to wait until around the trade deadline and see what teams are willing to give up. If we dont trade him by then, well I hope we choose to buy him out at least at possibly a cheaper rate.
I just dont want to take on bad contracts that can hurt us later on instead of letting him just expire.
Dont mind the Redd deal but no way should the Rockets play AK47 $34 million over two years thats ridiculous.
That trade is a shocker for the Rockets Kirilenko might not even make the rotation. Battier and Ariza are both better than him while Chase and Lowry are there abouts.
So what we would be doing is pushing our entrance into the free agents back another year. I do think Redd with his outside game would make a better teammate for Yao. Though I do think he is probably paid about $3-5mill more than he is worth. But he becomes an expiring next season if he and yao cant link up early next season.

Rockets: Acquire two good big men in Udonis Haslem and Emeka Okafor. Haslem does all the little things in addition to being a solid rebounder and defender. Pretty much your ideal 3rd big in the rotation. Okafor can be plugged in at center. He's a double-double guy who can do everything a starting big man needs to do. All this 'he isn't a winner' stuff is complete horse****, he hasn't been on a single team that wasn't total crap. The only concern is that he doesn't have the most desirable contract in the world. James Jones also comes over to provide an additional perimeter player/shooter. I think from a talent perspective, this is pretty good for Houston. Unfortunately it just about kills their hopes of a big free agent signing this summer.
Heat: They get one giant expiring contract for $23 million. They trade away three players, two of which are also expiring, but James Jones is at $4.3 million for 4 years. So it's a little bit of a gain in cap room for them this summer. McGrady also figures to get minutes there, given that Miami trades two SFs in this scenario.
Hornets: They get out from Emeka Okafor's contract, and acquire two expirings. That team is a mess, so I doubt the substantial loss in talent really bothers them.

I don't know about paying 10M+ to a bench guy; that's what Okafor will become once Yao comes back. Jones' contract is long but just for 4-5M, so that's not a problem.
T-Mac/Dorsey to the Nets for Yi/Simmons/S. Williams/Najera
I'd rather not take back Najera but I figure we're gonna have to take back at least one bad contract.
The only thing we need IMO is some long and athletic bigs which we get covered with Yi and Williams. This might also get every other starter voted into the All-Star game.

His contract, however scary right now, will also be a pretty valuable expiring some day, which could help the Rockets pull something off in the trade market. Or they could just let it expire and create a bit of cap room. When the time comes, of course. Also, if I'm Houston, I never count on Yao to be healthy. Okafor isn't a bad fallback option to have behind a supremely injury prone center.

And I can't see the second one.
Yeah, it's not working for some reason. Basically it was this:
Rockets get: Carlos Boozer, Marcus Camby, C.J. Miles
Clippers get: Tracy McGrady, Kosta Koufos
Jazz get: Chris Kaman, Chuck Hayes, Ricky Davis

The problem with those 'long athletic bigs' is that they aren't any good. Even though McGrady himself is a pill and is obviously on a sharp decline, I'd think his giant expiring contract is worth more than pure trash.

Yi has been beasting lately. But lets wait until Feb to see if he keeps up that type of play.
Personally I'd rather just keep him and let him expire. I don't have any trade scenarios.
