I was reading a blog by a Sixers beat writer and got what seemed to be a good idea for a trade:

We all can agree that the Sixers need to move on without Samuel Dalembert, right? But he has a hefty contract that makes him difficult to move, right? Well, it so happens that the Houston Rockets could use a backup center since Yao Ming is injury-prone and Dikembe Mutombo had to retire. They would love to get a center with starting experience, who would be better than the typical backup. And it also so happens that they would love to move on without Tracy McGrady. While it's true that McGrady is coming off knee surgery, he does have an expiring contract next season worth $23M. The Sixers would probably have to add a second player, such as Lou Williams or Willie Green to get the salaries to match.

McGrady's contract expires next offseason and would give the Sixers more wiggle room under the cap to make a move. Even if McGrady didn't play it wouldn't be a bad thing, and if he did it wouldn't be a bad thing to build one year off of.
Dalembert would provide Houston with a big who can give quality minutes playing with Yao (he often played his best basketball Vs them).
It seems like a win-win situation. If it took Lou Williams to get it done I'd do it.
Trade idea: Dalembert & Green/Lou for McGrady
