This is a trade everybody needs no?
According to multiple sources Houston Proposed a trade for Brooklyn that included Deron Williams for Jeremy Lin and Omer Asik. Here’s a little more on it from ESPN who broke the news.
According to a league source, the Rockets had preliminary talks with the Nets last week about Omer Asik and Jeremy Lin. Talks never gained any steam, but the source said the Rockets were doing their due diligence and Williams’ name came up. The Nets balked because one of the main reasons Pierce and Garnett agreed to a trade to Brooklyn was to play with Williams, according to the source. Williams, who signed a five-year, $98 million extension in 2012, was playing well upon returning from an ankle injury, and the Nets were looking better.
Now I don’t know about you but I think Pierce and Garnett have to live with the fact that this trade should happen. Because with Lopez out for the season Brooklyn are in dire straights and need a legit starting center ASAP. Screw the fact that one of the reasons they signed was because they want to play with D-Will. Do you want to make the Playoffs or not? In my opinion this trade should happen. All parties will be happy with it in the short and long term.
