I like you Token, but that's ridiculous. I've worked in LA/Orange County for the last 10 years and LA is all about the Lakers and it doesn't even matter if the Clippers are good.

It used to be a Dodgers town, but Magic and Kareem ended that.

LA is a football town?? Perhaps I'm misremembering but didn't they lose both NFL teams due to attendance issues. Also USC fans are very much fair weather.

Just spitballing here: Any chance Boston is willing to give up Jeff Green? He's a better defender than Anderson and had a very good shooting season last year. Does Boston have legit centers?

Jeff Green is more of a 6'9" SF IMO. I don't know about him as our starting PF. He doesn't rebound well, but if he's gonna be a starting PF, who better than Dwight to be next to him I guess.

So was Rashard Lewis, and maybe Josh Smith. Sure having a star like LaMarcus Aldridge would be ideal, but that's unlikely to say the least. I think Green would fit well and he *might* be acquirable.

I actually like the Casspi signing. Vet min, so no hit to the cap. Still young (25) so improvement isn't out of the question. And his rookie year he looked like he was on his way to being a very solid player in the Hedo Turkeyglue mold. He has since derailed on that train a bit, but with his career going from Sacramento to Cleveland, it's not like he was put into any great opportunities to succeed. This is the type of low risk move that could easily pan out for Morey. And if it doesn't, the 2nd year is a team option, so you have an easy out.

Rockets signed Francisco Garcia to a 2 year deal. Love this. He was huge for us in the postseason last year. He fits this offensive scheme really well

We can't afford to trade him. Our defense was dreadful last year when Asik came out, and we'd be back in that situation with Dwight if we unloaded Asik without another backup center in place. Also, in a year he and Lin become expiring deals that we could possibly move to a team like Portland, since Aldridge is unlikely to re-sign with them, or whichever team is looking to "rebuild".

Great point Ryan or for Love. That trade chart would look hilarious if we flipped Lin and Asik for either of those guys.

How many minutes will Asik see if Howard stays healthy?

Lin, Asik for Bosh

Why do the Rockets even want to keep an $8 million center for 15 minutes a game?

Because that 15 mins per game center would establish the Rockets as one of the best defensive teams in the league.

Howard needs a breather? Put on Asik for 15 mins a game and you have a 7ft dude for the entire game.

The Rockets defense fell to bottom of the league level when Asik came out last year. They will keep him so that doesn't happen this year.

I don't agree that 15 minutes of Asik makes them one of the best defensive teams in the league.

I think using that $8 million cap hit to get a elite level perimeter defender would.

The Rockets definitely need another perimeter defender. If they could trade Asik for one and get a competent back up center, I'm sure they would.

They allowed 107.0 points per 100 possessions without Asik, and 101.3 with him. That's the difference between 28th and 10th. There is not a perimeter defender available that would make that big of a difference. I do agree that they need one though.

Against OKC those numbers were 127.0 and 101.6, respectively.
