Houston is going after Dwight Howard and Chris Paul hard and are willing to trade about almost anything to get those two stars salaries to fit under their cap. Would you accept a trade of Omer Asik, Jeremy Lin, and Thomas Robinson in exchange for a future number lottery pick?
The pros of the trade: improved starting line up by adding a starting center, a lottery pick in Robinson, and a starting point if not 6th man in Lin.
Lin's strength : Lin is a player who thrives when the ball is in his hands. He's surprisingly good at creating shots for a point guard and excels at driving to the rim.
Robinson's strength: He's athletic and long, and he finishes well at the rim.
Asik strength: Omer Asik was the most underappreciated player on the Rockets last season, and a case could be made that he was one of the most underrated in the NBA. He averaged a double-double of 10.1 points and 11.7 rebounds, shot 54.1 percent from the field and blocked 1.1 shots per game. Throw in the fact that he's never missed a game in his NBA career, and you've got yourself one of the most valuable big men in the game.
Lin and Walker can't exist because of both of their smallish stature so Lin will have to be the 6th man if not traded again. Teams like the Kings if they missed out on a point in the draft can use him. Toronto, Clippers, Pistons, Bucks, and so on to name a few. All depends on the draft and free agency so some team will lose out on their top option.
