what does that accomplish? Unless you have a follow up deal to clear Bargnani and Chandler.

http://www.houstonchronicle.com/sports/ ... c4f992f472With the emergence of Terrence Jones as the starting power forward, Morey is not determined to find a starter at the position. He hopes to come away with either a strong defensive wing who can catch-and-shoot, a power forward who can fill in as a backup center, or expiring contracts that come with first-round picks - or some combination of those assets.

There is finally some concrete movement on the Sixers trade front. News regarding a possible Omer Asik trade has been in the news for the past week, but rumors of an acquisition of shooting guard Dion Waiters from the Cleveland Cavaliers surfaced today.
A source has provided Liberty Ballers with an update on both trade fronts:
•There is a “zero percent” chance the Sixers will acquire Waiters. The 22 year-old Philadelphia native is averaging 14.4 a game for the Cavaliers, but does not and has never looked likely.
•The Omer Asik situation has been described as “fluid”, but a resolution seems near. Currently, Houston has “5-6” offers on the table for the Turkish big man. Houston has been seeking out a first round pick as part of any deal for Asik.
•The Sixers has been involved in one possible scenario, a deal which would involve Houston, Philadelphia, and a third team. Within that possible three team trade there are three scenarios, one in which the Sixers do end up with Asik.
•Within that three team trade being discussed, Boston is not currently involved.
•Currently, the deal at the forefront of the Asik negotiations is a two team deal not involving Philadelphia, and sources have indicated he is likely to end up somewhere other than the Sixers.
My personal take: There are an insane amount of moving parts here, and Houston is going to continue to work the phones until the last possible moment here. Do I think Omer Asik will end up in Philadelphia? At the moment, no. Do I think the Sixers will be involved in the deal in some capacity? Absolutely.

You must be on something good if you think Morey is gonna trade two bonafide rotation players who can start for those two....

Just NY'S 1st round pick.
Asik is leaving anyway. MWP helps Dwight. Amare helps Dwight. As starters, or bench. Lin is just one of maybe a handful of pgs that would be an upgrade for NY.
We're talking 2 solid players that don't work for New York for a journeyman center and an in process pg with something to prove.
