I'm of the belief now that we should also include Anderson to get Asik and Parsons. I think Parsons would give us the spacing we need that Anderson provides but at the SF position. Anderson is a luxury now that Asik is here and I think that we could get a quality stretch four on the market behind Davis with part of the MLE. Resign Morrow who should be given a more involved and consistent role, find another defensive minded SF behind Parsons and sign another big to round out the team.
We can't get off of Gordon yet, so let him start the year, hopefully show his worth on a competing team and then move him at the break for someone or a few pieces, even if they are only quality bench players.

That would be best case scenario... This club is not that far from making a serious push in the West, but Dell has to nail these next finishing moves in order to get the team I think he is trying to build.

I'm cool with trading the 1st round picks right now because Demps/Monty don't have much time left to build around Davis and that also means we are at the end stages of the rebuild and now is the time to compete... We just need a SF and quality bench depth and we are in the race to win just like the rest of the West. A few more decent moves and this team is a 5-6 seed...

Maybe even resign Aminu as a backup SF for defensive purposes. I'm not oppose to that because he is a quality rebounder at the 3 and can play the 4 in a small ball lineup. He is not a starter but he can give you quality minutes when Parsons is off, unable to guard a superior SF, or in foul trouble...

Even if Houston wanted to do that trade, I'm not sure it's possible to get Parsons without trading Gordon too. Since they made Parsons an RFA we'd have to do a S&T for him meaning he'd be coming back to us making $7-$10 million or whatever his current market value is. Not to mention I think Houston thinks they are either getting Melo or Bosh and so wouldn't have a need to turn Parsons into Anderson.

The Rockets aren't trading Parsons unless it's for Rondo or Love.

Why in the world would the Rockets trade Parsons for Anderson?
