    Rockets are in need of depth and a starting PF. Everyone can agree on that. We lack size on our bench so as a solution I propose this trade

    Rafer Alston + Luther Head + Sura's contract for Draft Rights to Yi jianLin + Bobby simmons.

    We could add a draft pick in on either side to make it more enticing but I think this could help both teams.

    Milwakee would do this because they lack a depth at PG due to FA and alston can fit that need and have no depth behind Micheal Redd. They are well over the salary cap and have a young core to build around so they could use a salary dump. Yi's agent says he doesn't want to play there.

    Rockets need this trade because Yi can fit in as starting PF along side yao and will adjust quickly due to his friend. THERE IS ONE PROBLEM THOUGH. Will Yi be a bust???? Will Bobby simmons ever get out of injury trouble. I am willing to take a risk on Simmons and Yi is talented that i think he can be at least productive. I would be willing to take the risk.

    Depth Charts for both teams after trade
    Rockets
    C: Yao/Mutumbo(assume resign)
    PF: Yi Jian Lin/Chuck Hayes(assume resign)/Landry
    SF: Battier/Simmons/Novak
    Sg: Tmac/Bonzi/Snyder
    PG Mike James/Vspan/Arron Brooks

    We still have our MLE to sign a legitamate back up C.

    Milwakee
    C: Andrew Bogut/Dan Gadzuric
    PF: Charlie Villanueva/damir Markota
    SF: Ruben Patterson/Charlie bell/ David Noel
    Sg: Micheal Redd/Luther head
    PG: Mo Williams(assume resign)/Rafer Alston/ Earl Boykins(Assume resign)

    No way the deal would happen. Yi Jianlian might not want to play there but the Bucks own his rights and if they don't trade him or release that right, Yi can't play in the NBA with any other team. Even if they were to trade Yi, Alston and Head won't cut it.

    I don't know what your perceived value or Alston is but I doubt that he might even fetch Bobby Simmons straight up.

    Never in a million years would this go down. Bucks ain't that stupid.

    Yi on the Rockets is an interesting idea though? Trade Rafer Sura and future 1st round pick for him? Does the salaries match? haha just kiddn. That's impossible too

    How about;

    Milwaukee sends
    Yi Jianlian
    Mo Williams (S&T)
    Irsan Ilyasova (S&T)

    Houston Sends
    Shane Battier
    Mike James/(Rafer)
    Future 2nd

    We might have to throw in Sura's contract.

    I don't think I'd do that trade on second thought.
