    He won't clog the middle if they don't play together at the same time.

    Anderson is pretty good when healthy. A broken toe though...will he re-injure it? Is Howard completely healthy?

    I would rather keep Asik and play Jones who I think will be a better defender than Anderson. Doesn't Houston have enough outside shooters with Lin, and Harden, and Parson's?

    I am just playing devil advocate. I don't know.

    I don't know but it sure isn't working now. They are one of the worst rebounding teams in the league, so obviously something isn't right.

    Isn't that a given?

    Will a stretch 4 make them a better rebounding team? I know Anderson is a decent rebounder, but I bet Jones will be better at it.

    No doubt who the better outside shooter is.

    He is going to be inconsistent until he gets consistent minutes. Like all young bench players.

    I agree that Houston can afford to be patient.... until Asik starts bitching and destroying the lockerroom, which could start any day now if he gets another 4 minute game. Remember, he said he wanted a trade if Dwight were to come on board. They got him off that, but now...I don't know.

    I actually think yes. Howard needs room down low.

    This trade makes so much sense for both teams I'm shocked it already hadn't happened yet

    Omer Asik is averaging 20.7 mpg this season. His career average is 19.3. That's just ridiculous for a center of that caliber.

    I'd say it's more ridiculous that people think he's a center of such caliber.
