    You think Miami would settle for Lin and Asik for Lebron?

    Splash.

    Kind of scary how good defensively NO is going to be - but no idea what is going to happen to Anderson now.

    I thought they'd get traded together but not necessarily to the same team.

    That way, is it possible to send a potential $6M cash to whoever takes on Lin's contract? Example, Rockets send 3M to Team C. Team B sends 3M to Team C.

    The compensation is fine. He's worth a top 10 pick, but with us needing to clear the decks and everyone knowing that...Plus, assuming it's unprotected, one injury and this is a very high pick. Most importantly it means one of the BIG free agents is signed, sealed, and delivered.

    Meaning, Lin will have to be packaged with an asset, before some GM will take him.

    We're probably getting a big name in FA.

    But if we're not- man. An Asik Davis frontcourt is scary and I'd hate to match up with them. This is either great or it bites us in the ass.

    Guess NO trades Anderson now.
