It is not surprising that the Rockets are interested in Bosh. It makes a lot of sense.
There also is an article about the Knicks president talking to McGrady. I wonder if there is a three-way trade in the work. NY makes a lot of sense as a destination for McGrady and they definitely have the pieces to entice Houston. Also the contract amount of McGrady to Toronto makes sense(Bosh and Calderon). However actually sending him there does not make as much sense.
Interesting thought. I didn't make that connection between the rumors but it does make some sense, especially if TOR likes Jordan Hill. Bosh gives HOU a great handcuff in case Yao's career ends up being over and he could also co-exist with Yao since Bosh is more of a jumpshooter than an inside banger. I'd have to guess that NY's motivation would be to clear more 2010 cap.
Rockets trade: McGrady, Brooks, Cook, and picks
Rockets receive: Bosh, Calderon, and Jeffries
Knicks trade: Hughes, Hill, and Jeffries

Toronto gets young talent in return for Bosh and gets out of Calderon's contract in the process. New York sacrifices a young big they aren't interested in playing for another $6.8M in 2010 cap space, giving them a total of about $34M and thus making them able to sign 2 stars (ironically, one of which could be Bosh). And the Rockets get Bosh for fairly cheap as far as outgoing talent goes (they do take back a lot of salary) in the hopes that he re-signs with them.
Wow, that might be just crazy enough to work.
