Imagine if Houston decides to deal Yao Ming next year? Foot problems or not he'll still get an immense return not only for basketball ability, but merchandising. Their GM worked some magic today, and I'd like to see what he could do with the bigger asset.

Sacramento are under financial pressure, they had their hand forced, but they may be able to throw money at a player to compliment Tyreke Evans (a solid interior presence such as Boozer?). They will also pick up the team option on Landry for next year.
Houston get big forward depth (which they need) and a new SG, which means Ariza is locked in at SF. Hill is a good prospect too, and they get picks. Big windfall for McGrady, Landry and Dorsey (spare parts).
NY get the expiring contract and Rodriguez is their stopgap PG starter when they deal Robinson to the Celtics. Watch NY now get two of the following: James, Wade, Bosh, Boozer, Johnson, and pair that with Lee and possibly McGrady signed at a major discount
