Daryl Morey said Saturday that he does not intend to trade Jeremy Lin or Omer Asik. “The reality is James (Harden) and Dwight (Howard) want to play with Jeremy and Omer,” Morey said. “I’ve been kicked down to assistant GM. They’re going to be here.” Morey sees Asik as a luxury worth paying for. “When we didn’t have Omer out there last year, we sucked,” Morey said. “I mean, we were terrible. That was where we lost games. When we had Omer out there, we were a top 10 defensive team. Now we have a defensive player of the year and Omer. I mean that position is so important if you’re going to have a solid defense. Now we have two of the best in the league. I’m very excited.” http://blog.chron.com/ultimaterocke...-asik-and-jeremy-lin-theyre-going-to-be-here/
