Then Asik would be incredibly pissed. So would DMo, whose minutes will surely drop as Asik gets more conditioned. Maybe Lin too if he's secretly hoping to actually start somewhere else. Even without trades, like McHale says, people still get pissed.
Jessica Camerato wrote an interesting article on past trade deadline experience. http://www.basketballinsiders.com/players-discuss-their-nba-trade-deadline-experiences/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=players-discuss-their-nba-trade-deadline-experiences&utm_reader=feedly Until the next trade deadline, just go and play basketball!
McHale's riddle makes total sense now. That Asik was staying (the one pissed to be staying, of course). This part was obvious. That Brooks was going (the one pissed to be going). The second part of the riddle. I couldn't guess in advance who this was. Didn't think it was Parsons-for-Rondo, didn't think it was Lin (who might be happy to leave to a bigger role elsewhere, or not worse than mixed feelings).
