Not sure how much happier he'd be in Cleveland..it's Cleveland.
But I'd suspect it'd be a trade for Waiters not Varejo, no?

haha you are hilarious. You think Cavs give up Waiters for Asik? Really?

why would rockets management care whether or not Asik wants to go to Cleveland or not. they'll send him to wherever they can get the best deal from. Nuggets had to trade melo to NY because that's the only place he'll sign an extension and therefore that's the only place nuggets can get the most in return vs other teams where he'd be a rental. but what i am trying to say is, it is not management's issue where Asik wants to play, he doesnt have a no trade clause. And Bynum is playing like 20-25 mins a game if even... and he sits out on back to back games.. i wouldnt call playing behind Bynum a problem..

Rondo is perfect for playing alongside Harden/Howard. Kelly is more of a stretch 4, and Boston already has Sullinger. Plus Asik would be the guaranteed big they haven't had in a long time. (Shaq and Jermaine were useless, and KG isn't a natural C.

Rondo makes more money than Asik, more players would need to be involved.

Rondo couldn't possibly be a worse fit. A guy who needs to dominate the ball to be effective and couldn't hit a jump shot if there were a gun to his head? Atrocious fit with the Rockets.

They paid Andrew Bynum 12 million and now want to add Asik who would likely be backing up an able-bodied Bynum...which leads Asik to the exact same result in Houston...playing behind a much better and higher paid player and Ask being a backup. So Cleveland has an unhappy Dion Waiters and now wants a piece of an unhappy Omer Asik? Idiots running that franchise with 4 top 5 draft picks on the roster and is still going nowhere.
