    I would rather have Asik. Why not deal for Asik and then pick up Thabeet and put him with the Vipers? Asik can contribute on the court for the Rocks immediately. Thabeet needs loads of seasoning, and he still could end up giving his team diarrhea.

    I would only take Thabeet for an expiring contract, a 2nd rounder, or a scrub.

    He is the definition of a project. People tend to fall in love with players too easily based on their draft pick number and not look at the guy's actual production.If you compare him to Asik as of right now, both are limited and unproven, but Asik has shown more production than Thabeet.

    Alright I won't sugarcoat it, Thabeet looks like he REALLY sucks. Some people were comparing him with Yinka Dare.

    Unless we trade him for fodder, I say (please or hell, whatever is more agreeable) no.

    Battier and Lee are our best perimeter defenders. Can't imagine what the defense will look like with both of those guys gone.

    Just a thought...

    RT @ajchawks #Hawks may not be done dealing. Held out Zaza Pachulia tonight as trade discussions continue

    Battier is not part of the future, Lee might be but if we get Mayo for him we need to pounce because he has higher ceiling.

    If the rockets can get some rim protectors, it won't be that bad.

    Agree. Get some youth with true size and tons of upside. I'm in the camp of seeing the rockets rebuild and I think they may not have much of a choice.

    What about combining a few deals. Thabeet/Mayo for Battier. Then Lee/Miller for Aisk + 1st rounder?

    Mayo takes Lee's spot, we drop Millers contract, pick up a 1st and get 2 centers to work with.
