    No one, they should trade for no one. Unless the league is giving players away for cheap.

    I also voted for Rondo. I think Daryl Morey is going to make this happen. Should involve at least three teams. Boston gets back picks, prospects (i.e., guys on rookie salary deals), and expirings. Asik and/or Lin would head elsewhere (i.e., NOT to Boston).

    Example:

    Jeremy Lin and Omer Asik to New York;

    Tyson Chandler and Ronnie Brewer (filler) to Phoenix;

    Iman Shumpert, Donatas Motiejunas, two first round picks (one from Houston, one from Phoenix), and Emeka Okafor (expiring contract) to Boston;

    Rajon Rondo, Brandon Bass, and Miles Plumlee to Houston.

    If Morey really wants to go for it, he can include Atlanta in the deal, and send Terrence Jones with Brandon Bass to the Hawks for Paul Millsap.

    I really do think Morey is going for it, we'll see if other teams are cooperative.

    I think that is the most likely scenario.

    Slim Reaper and LeBron, or bust.

    I would say most likely. I do think there is at least a 20% chance Lin or Asik is traded for either an expiring or expiring next year deal (maybe with future picks), but doubt a starter gets traded.

    The more team's involved, the more time it's gonna to take to negotiate. I don't see this happening by tomorrow deadline.

    I like the "out of left field" idea to bring in Afflalo. Which future pieces did you have in mind to potentially bring him in???

    The thing that haunts me about this deal is that we already have very poor scoring off the bench as is, if this deal goes through as you posted, we would have gutted our team and have not improved our scoring off the bench.

    Rondo/Bev
    Harden/???
    Parsons/Garcia
    Bass or Millsap/???
    Howard/Plumlee

    I have a feeling it's not going to be a super big deal. Might be a mid level guy that will give us depth and a slight upgrade from where we are now without giving up too much.

    My vote was for Other.

    Either Lin and Asik both are traded or one of them is. I expect Morey to get into salary dump mode with Philly. Trade with a 2nd rounder in return so Les doesn't have to pay 30 million to two players.

    Lin and Asik hurts the team's cap flexibility this summer, which is why Morey is trying to move both of them.

    Yeah I've heard that. How does a player trade himself?
