Re: Rockets and Tracy McGrady agree to try to part ways (Dec 28)
[QUOTE=bagelred]OK, here's a question for the Rockets fans.
An NBA team is allowed to have 15 guys on the roster in total. Obviously, 12 dress for the games and 3 don't, but you can't have more than 15.
When you make a trade, you MUST have open roster spots available for the players coming in. So if McGrady is traded away, for let's say, 3 players, Rockets will need two extra roster spots.
So Rocket fans....what is Houston going to do? Who is going to get cut or moved somehow to open spots?
Comprende?[/QUOTE]
Mike Harris I'd imagine.

I think it will be very likely McGrady gets moved along with some fillers (in fact, isn't Brian Cook an expirer this season? His contract is, I think, 3 million?).

Butler is more then enough. replace jefferies with a C and we might think about it because were loaded with SG/SF's as it is.

Has a non-guranteed contract. he cant be used in a trade. most likely it'll be either Dorsey or Taylor. most likley Dorsey

Then you're right. harris with he's non-guranteed contract is the obvious choice.
Re: Rockets and Tracy McGrady agree to try to part ways (Dec 28)
I just hope that the Rockets try to trade him alone and don't break up this team they have now. I imagine Adelman is smart enough to do that.
EDIT: I mean the team that plays. Any contracts just sitting on the bench like someone mentioned earlier Brian Cook, can be packaged.
