Will Houston make a trade before or during the 2014 NBA Draft?

Prediction Time!

If they do make a trade, then what will it be?

If they do NOT make a trade, then who are they taking at:

#25 -
#42 -

i see us trading the 25th pick along with lin to clear cap space
#42 will be some international player that will stay oversea for at least a year
morey is trying to have as much cap space as possible so he is trying to avoid any contract count against the cap

There will be no taker if the trade involve either Lin or Asik.

There need to be more than just draft pick for another team to take on either of their contract and not to return any salary.

Cw3k, you're just being silly if you don't think Asik is a bargain at 15m cash and 9m against the cap as an expiring.

Lin at the same amount is arguably either overpriced or a bargain, depending on your opinion of him.
