If the Nets want to unload Deron and the Rockets strike out on Melo how about Deron for Lin and Asik? Nets could even flip Asik to a third team. Nets do this in part to start a total rebuild. PP and KG are pretty much done with them, Blatche and Livingston will seek better deals elsewhere as will AK47. Lin and Asik and each one year left at 15 mil.

Sam: Houston is looking to unload Asik and Lin to make a run at Anthony. I don’t think you can move Lin and the $15 million backloaded he’s due next season. But you may be able to move Asik, whom I’ve already heard several teams, like Atlanta to move Al Horford to four, are pursuing. The Hawks could look pretty good with that front court. Houston likes “stars,” though Williams hardly qualifies anymore. I see the Nets have trotted out the bad ankle excuse for him again, and he’d have broken some 20-yard dash figures the way he ran away from shots in that clinching game against the Heat. With Williams 30 this summer, in steep decline, a bad locker room presence and owed $63 million for the next three years, I don’t see how that would help the Rockets as much as it would the Nets.
