    Who?

    I have never seen anyone propose a trade sending Aldridge to Houston for any combination of their pile of shit.

    I was under the impression that pretty much everyone on this board thought trading for Asik would be pointless without having Aldridge still on the team.

    Why does anyone still visit OLive at this point?

    I believe Mediocre Man wanted to do it if we got Terrance Jones or a pick or something.

    there's probably more and more out there, just a cursory search.

    There was one suggestion that I recall--which I was on board with, but was completely unrealistic--that involved us sending out both Aldridge and Batum, and bringing back Asik, Monroe, and Parsons, the theory being that it would save a lot of money, the returning players' production would be similar, and we would return a true center.

    Glad it didn't happen.

    The trade that I would have done last summer was Aldridge for Lee/Thompson/Barnes and then Batum for Monroe. Not saying any of it would have happened, but that was a deal I would have liked to have seen. At this point, however, I would not do that GS deal. Not even close.

    I'm thinking Asik will be in Houston until he's a free agent.

    For the ridiculous asking price that Houston seems to have, you might be right.
