D12 isn't coming here so the Rockets can trade away valuable players/assets to make the Lakers feel better. I guarantee Dwight coming here is contingent on Morey flipping someone (and we all know who) for a third big name player.

Now let's trade Lin for Calderon and Asik + assets for preferably LMA or Love, but realistically, Smith.

Lin is one of the best PnR players and one with Steve Nash like passing and Parker speed so i think theyll get rid of Asik before Lin. Give Lin the summer hes going to be better than his best at Linsanity level easily next year with Howard.

Yeah...take a little of this LA. Can't wait to watch the Rockets smash them in LA next season -- watching all those Lakers fans who hated on Dwight see him reborn and happy on the Rockets young good chemistry team.
