Potential blockbuster with Houston?

Anyone putting any stock into this?  They apparently have discussed potential deals involving McGrady/Brand, and perhaps Iguodala and others.... although according to the source its been about a week since there have been any discussions. 

Interested to see where everyone stands on this.  I for one would be fine with moving Brand for McGrady, and perhaps someone like Lou so that we could avoid the luxury tax, get out from under Brand's contract, and have some money in free agency... but I'd certainly be hesitant to part with Iguodala in any deal for McGrady.

Has to include Brand.  Not really interested in moving Iguodala only to shave one year off of Dalembert, Kapono or Green's deal.

Just put up a post about it today:

I get nervous with any trade that would leave us with Speights as our toughest PF/C.

I get nervous with any trade while Eddie Jordan is the head coach and he has the support of Ed Stefanski
