Phoenix managed to get a lottery protected pick for Gortat. I'm guessing a top 10-12 protected for Asik from a team desperate to make the playoffs. Potential trade Houston gets: - Ersan Illyasova Cleveland gets: - Omer Asik Milwaukee gets: - Top 10-12 protected lottery pick from Cleveland - Varejao's expiring Why Houston does it: Get a very good Stretch 4/ rebounder Why Cleveland does it: If they are really desperate to make the playoffs this season (Like the Wizards are), they get a great center to hold down their defense. Why Milwaukee does it: Opens up more playing time for Henson to develop, pick up a potential lottery pick, saves long term cap space, get a good back up center for rest of season. (This is a Morey type move for them)
If they do trade for a pick wouldn't or couldn't it be 1-10 protected or so? Something of that nature?.. Maybe the lottery pick is not for this year but for 2015, 2016... and if it is... its a great trade bait for teams like Blazers or Timberwolves for their PF. Asik + Pick + Fillers = PF named LMA or LOVE?
Hope we don't trade for a pick unless it's a three team deal and the pick is getting flipped for a power forward.
If we get Rondo and still have Lin, Beverley doesn't get any playing time. At least if he goes to Boston, he's their starting PG.

Yep Bev Harden Parsons Horford Dwight Bench Brooks Garcia Krover Casspi Smith or sign Camby if he heals Krover would go crazy on our 3pt offense and Horford and Howard is by far the best frontcourt in the league.For Atlanta Lin and Tague form a high scoring PG rotation and Asik and Millsap is a nice combo. I don't see Atlanta doing this.
Thats actually a legit trade. Turner Improves our bench situation and our defense. The only thing it doesn't do is improve our pf position.
