The Rockets are open to trading to bring in a center, but I can't imagine that they will sacrifice too much youth or future cap space unless it is for a young guy with lots of potential. Seeing as how there aren't that many of those around one of the more realistic options would be the Clippers' Marcus Camby, whom they still seem to be open to trading.

The question I have is what would you see as a reasonable deal for Marcus Camby? I do not believe that they are interested in Baron Davis (at least I hope that they aren't) so that pretty much means that McGrady won't be part of the deal.

What would be a reasonable price? Picks? Young players?

Some have suggested Battier for Camby, but I just can't see that happening.

His face value: a future 2nd-round pick.

He'll be 36 next year and has always been injury prone. I'm not sure what we could offer him that would make sense that someone (an idiot) won't trump.

i think we'd be giving up too much just to match salaries

Wafer is a free agent.

I think it would have to be Battier to make the salary match easily. The Rockets would free up some money for 2010 since Camby is expiring.

Battier has so much more value then just an expiring deal. Id prefer we keep Battier to help mentor and teach Ariza.

Clips would be all over that Battier deal but doubt Houston does. I think some package of Lowry/Brooks+Landry would get the job done.

Camby is 36, i wouldn't change our young players for him. We are not in win-mode in the 2009-10 season, in 2010-2011 yes.
