    Unrealistic IMO, they have no use for Lin.

    Keep in mind: Deng has to be traded by himself.

    Cleveland has next to no leverage in this situation.

    1st transaction: Deng for Lin and Dmo
    2nd transaction: Asik for Varejao

    add fillers

    I think they might take Jeff Green as a consolation prize for Deng.

    Probably needs a 3rd team...Milwaukee

    Lin and Dmo to MIL - Deng to HOU - Ilyasova to CLE

    then

    Asik for Varejao

    He makes us a legit contender. His value is at an all-time low. Snag him.

    If the Rondo thing doesn't come to fruition I would definitely hop all over Deng for scraps.

    Yea I don't see this being a good fit. He will want more money than the Rockets believe he is worth. So we can get him as a rental? I guess if the prize is our second but still seems like a myopic move.

    He was pretty much the only source of offense on a Rose-less Bulls team, so teams hone in on him pretty hard, I'm sure.

    I doubt that DM will want to move Lin in a package for him, unless he can get Rondo.
    I don't expect him to be a Rocket.

    Interesting move with if traded Asik for him straight up. He'd probably be our best shot at defending Durant and since he's our biggest threat to the finals, this could be a good move.

    I'm not going back 20 pages but SBnation celtics blog mentioned Sam Amico in a trade chat reporting that the Rockets think they can acquire Rondo

    Lots of smoke get er done

    This is why Chris Grant is the worst GM in the history of the NBA.

    Asik for Deng doesn't work out straight up.

    Cavs are like the Russian hockey team. They were once great but now they suck

    How about since we're trading CP?

    Do it then?

    I'm not high on him but to replace him for parsons it sounds good. If we have him and parsons then no.

    Why not? Deng would be our best shot at defending Durant if we trade Asik and fillers (Brewer, Greg Smith). Imagine how great our bench would be with this guy. He could play stretch 4 if Jones isn't playing well. He's then off of the books and we have cap space to upgrade the team/ re-sign Parsons.

    He wants money as well and for him to come off the bench too. Asik, Lin and Deng getting paid starter salary.
