Two questions Didn't asik request for a trade blow your sell high idea And would trading Howard be considered selling low? Or would that have been last year?
Don't think it is, I think it's taped to the cord coming out of it. The mic has been dropped too many times, needs tape.
They will ask Harden and Howard what they think about trading parsons away, to make it short, Parsons wont be going anywhere.
Lin+bev+parsons+Asik for Kevin Martin. then we bench Kmart and acquire another star when we ship him out.
portland has had a creampuff schedule thus far…..no way they stay #2 in the west, and i'd be surprised if they are still top 6 by feb
Asik + Canaan + filler's for Millsap + Schroeder + Antic +filler/s Millsap = productive, efficient, complimentary, versatile forward that plays well with anybody Schroeder = future star point guard in the mold of Rajon Rondo Antic = backup center with range for the overrated stretch need
Have to hope Portland implodes by the trade deadline, because as long as they're playing well and Aldridge is happy they won't have any motivation to move him. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>In my four years covering this <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%23Blazers&src=hash">#Blazers</a> team, I'd have to say this is easily the happiest I've seen <a href="https://twitter.com/aldridge_12">@Aldridge_12</a>.

Yeah the problem is, that all the star 4s seem to be pretty happy with their team. That probably means we have no real shot at Aldridge, Love or Bosh. If we were to trade for one of them, I´d be ready to trade Asik + young talent for Aldridge (perhaps Lin or Parsons, but that would hurt), Asik +Lin OR Parsons + young talent for Bosh and Asik + Lin + Parsons for Love. But I think the far more likely scenario is us going for either Millsap or Anderson or Ilyasova with just Asik (and hopefully get something else in return). If you also look at PGs and SFs, I don`t think there are many stars out there worth getting. Rondo would be the most realistic - we`d have to change our system, but he is legit. Other than him I can`t think of one of the top of my head that`s realistic and that we would want. Stars just rarely get traded, especially if they have more than one year left on their contract - and we don`t absolutely need another star. Lin has been playing like one this season, Parsons has shown flashes and Howard and Harden are legit. Round out this roster with a great PF (like Millsap) and all we need is experience together and an instant offense kinda guy of the bench.
Rockets should trade lin when his value is high. Did we all forget last season he was so bad that we would trade him for a peanut?
Asik+Parsons+Lin might get us an All-Star, but an All-Star isn't worth losing the three of them. A superstar would be worth it, but Asik+Parsons+Lin isn't getting us a superstar.
Lin will have to be traded, as he is not happy in Houston (although he isn't showing it as obviously as Omer).
The only teams who are willing to trade away their all-star is because the all-star wants out or the team is in rebuilding mode. I can't think of any teams who would be willing to part with their all-star caliber player right now... Unless you count former (emphasis on former) all-stars in which case you can probably get Amare (more certain) or Nash (possibly).
A lot of Lin's fans would like to see Lin start. This is what Lin said himself: He starts with "Obviously I would love to start" then ends with "Who starts isn't important'" I think he's making the best of his current situation.
Lin, I, nor you are happy that Lin is at Houston. So, stop wasting time and energy. By the way, even if he keeps up putting monster numbers like FG >> 50%, and even if the Rockets want to sign at that point, he Definitely will not. So sorry.
