The Rockets still need a point and an athletic three to go with Yao and McGrady.

Why an athletic three? Why not use McGrady as the athletic three, and get a pure shooter for the SG. Then you can play the inside/out with Yao/SG with a pentrating/defensive PG, and use McGrady offside for cutting/slashing. Then Swift becomes a useful offside pick/inside finisher. You could also utilize Yao in the high/low game with his skills with the SG spotted up, and Swift/McGrady cutting/slashing.
IMO, they need a defensive minded PG who can penetrate, and a defensive minded SG who can shoot the three efficiently. Of course depth at all the positions would be nice as well.
