Rockets will get New Orleans' first rounder for next season in exchange for Omer Asik, I'm told.

22 seconds... ;)

was happy reading that, now I hope it goes through. No more Asik to celtics posts. Makes me cringe. Would rather a pot head sanders or a run at greg monroe.

A Jeremy Lin trade, I'm told, won't likely happen unless one of big-time free agents commits. But as I've reported, they have deals teed up.

Oh wow, this is sooo good for Anthony Davis.

Omer Asik and Anthony Davis are going to be incredible together defensively. Asik's power and size in the paint combined with Davis' length and ability to cover so much ground. Dual shot-blockers. Total intimidation.

And then Ryan Anderson off the bench to open up games with his shooting. Lethal big man trio.

  • You ain't the boss of the freakin' bedclothes.
Great trade for New Orleans. They now have one of the best 3 man rotations in the NBA at the 4/5, and the best defensive starting frontcourt in the NBA.

Sucks for Boston. We would've loved him.

New Orleans will send a future first-round pick to Houston for Asik, league source tells Yahoo Sports. Deal will give Rockets cap space.
