    It seems like the Rockets are going after camby almost every offseason and he ends up playing somewhere else.

    I approve this move! Now trading Asik for a PF makes more sense.

    Maybe. Maybe not. Camby might not have enough in the tank judging by last season. Could just be insurance.

    Morey is just bringing him back to trade him to the Knicks again for more assets. Rinse and repeat for all of time.

    Brilliant, Rockets trying to assemble the worst FT shooting frontcourt in NBA history.

    Except for that time, you know, when they traded for him and then later traded him to the Knicks who later traded him to the Raptors.

    Something tells me Asik will be close to 70% from the FT line this season and that he will work on that aspect of his game during the off-season. I also think Howard will shoot at least 60% from the line. I should be right about at least one of these.

    True. Greg Smith can also play center off the bench. By the way, I'm a member of the minority who would trade Asik for Ryan Anderson.
