You get me wrong. What I want is to get Artest while keeping Yao and Tracy. The Celtics have given a good example to get KG while keeping Pierce and Ray Allen. Nothing is impossible if you have ambition. But frankly speaking, I really do not believe that the Rockets are as ambitious as the Celtics or the other teams who have grabbed the big names recently. If the Rockets are proved to be unambitious, both Yao and Tracy should think twice about their future. They are both not that young anymore and cannot afford to waste 2 or 3 more seasons with the Rockets. It is about time to move on. Hesitation only brings repentance. AirChina23,

Roster upgrade is needed. The recent trades are making the West insanely competitive, not just this year, but for the next two. I am getting depressed just thinking about the Gasol trade.

This recent winning streak has shown that the players have finally learned how to play with each other and that Adelman has finally found a winning rotation for the most part. I'm guessing you are thinking about a deal involving Tracy and Artest, it would only work when the numbers work. As John has said, McGrady is the highest-paid player on the team. Now you got me thinking, McGrady for Artest.... Jeff, I’m sure the Rockets have ambitions too.

The next one coming up should be Artest. Do the Rockets have any plan to improve the roster? I do not think so. The reason is that the Rockets are content with whatever they are. They do not even care whether they are in the play-offs or not, not to mention Shallow or Deep in the play-offs. A team's ambition is measured by what it does, not by what it talks.
