ROCKETS-TRACY-TRADE

Rocket GM Daryl Morey didn't say he was looking to trade Tracy McGrady, but he did say he would if the deal would improve the Rockets. And he said teams have been "aggressive" in their efforts to acquire T-Mac. I think Morey would LOVE to deal Tracy. The Rockets need someone who can do what Tracy can do...get a shot at the end of the game...but there's no telling if Tracy can do it again when he gets healthy. And there's no telling when Tracy will be healthy again. There are rumors of a Rockets-Suns trade involing Amare Stoudamire. He's not a Tracy-type player, but he would give the Rockets the kind of size and athleticism they need. And the kind of insurance they need to protect against another Yao breakdown. But that's just rumor.
