Daryl Morey offers a lot of things. But if Ainge's previous best offer for Asik was Bass and Lee, and considering he gave away a second rounder to get rid of Lee, it's a pretty safe bet that Asik, Lin, and a late 1st isn't even getting the counter offer of "throw in a 2016 1st and you've got a deal."
We have heard only one other big trade rumor. Which is Thomas, Mclemore and one or two 1sts (not 2014). So people rather consider that trade then a Rocket offer of Lin/Asik/2014 1st with a possiblity of 2016 1st?
The rockets deal looks better imo
I think Lin and Asik has already reached their potential. McLemore has potential to be an All-Star and so does Thomas. Not to mention they are on cheaper contracts. Kings offer trumps this one. I rather take the chance on two high upside players than certified role players. Kings' pick will most likely be higher than the Rocket's, too.
