Chicago finally has a defenitive go to guy on offense with Mcgrady and can now give more playing time to Noah, Thomas and Nocioni. Chicago improves their offense with this trade while getting rid of Ben's contract and not having to worry about resigning Ben Gordon or not.

Houston gets a scorer to replace T-mac with Gordon AND gets Ben Wallace to put aside Yao Ming. Houston improves defense with this trade while getting a capable scorer to replace T-mac.

Thoughts? Good for both teams?

dream on

i posted similar, but with noc going too-makes it much more even

Definite "no" from Houston. Ben Wallace is a negative, especially for a team already paying big bucks for their current C. And then when Gordon demands his big extension in the offseason, that team is going to plunge WAAAAY into the luxury tax, and arguably still be a worse team than they are now. No chance.

houston would be skrewed and its not coz ben+yao wont work together
