    I like the idea of getting Courtney Lee back to replace Cisco in the rotation. Maybe he can get a good amount of minutes at both wing positions. We need some more defense on this three and Lee's three point shot is money. Also friends with Dwight.

    I'd like to get more than just Lee though. Asik is a much better PLAYER.

    I like the idea of getting Sullinger, but I don't know if the Celtics would part with him. Maybe if we send them DMo in exchange?

    On the plus side, I think Jones showing up gives the Rockets a lot more leverage (and options) in trade talks. They can say "f*** you, we're doing fine, we don't NEED to move Asik". Alternatively they could package Jones WITH Asik in order to get a better power forward than Millsap/Anderson if one becomes available.

    Terrence's stock at an all-time high. Should be able to LMA for him+Asik.

    LMA is so inefficient that I highly doubt Asik goes for him.

    To put it in perspective: LMA's shooting efficiency was equal to Jeremy Lin's, LAST YEAR.

    Now that Terrence Jones had a good game, the Rockets will be able to get LeBron for him.

    Asik and Lin for Melo? The Knicks are imploding... Asik and Lin give them a chance to start rebuilding. We get Big 3 (Harden, Melo, Howard).


    Dwight
    Melo
    Parsons
    Harden
    Beverley

    They won't do it. Our defense would still blow too, and I think Melo would be a bad fit with Harden.

    ya and they both need to ball to score it wouldnt work. we need to trade asik to build on bench because realisticly our start 5 is just fine even with tj or dmo at the 4, our bench needs work. They need a scoring boost.

    Not sure if serious. You're a fan of selling low, buying high, aren't you?

    76ers - Gibson
    Bulls - Asik + Brewer
    Rox - Hawes + Butler.

    76ers wants to lose game, and hawes is not helping them by getting a career year.
    Bulls rumoured to be wanting Asik. Not sure if they willing to let go of Butler for Asik thou. Might have to sweeten deal with 2nd round picks thou.

    Hawes can provide spacing as well as spell minutes for Dwight.
    Butler will give rox the lock down defender that is currently lacking in a Rox uniform at the 2,3 spot.

    I actually think GS would make this deal, MOREY would never trade Harden though

    GS would be on Miami's level.

    Curry
    Harden
    Iggy
    Lee
    Bogut
