Does anyone see Head getting traded for a decent power forward? I think it's extremely likely that the Rockets will be trading a perimeter player to get a big man to go alongside Yao.

who can they trade???
Skip is overpaid and is easily the best and probably the only real PG on the team. Head is on his rookie deal...so since you have to match salaries; he's not gonna bring back any quality....same with Synder. Fact is Houston is cap straped and does not have anything on bench anyone else would want.

I know plenty of old timers and HOFer's that claimed defense in the late 90's and early 2000's weren't as good as the 80's. Wilt once said he'd average 70 ppg in the modern-day NBA because defenses were so much worse. Pippen once said KG was a stats guy who disappears down the stretch of games. Bill Walton once said Rasho was a better interior defender than Tim Duncan because Tim Duncan was on the bench at the time. Barkley once said Argentina was located north of the Indian ocean.
