Rockets stepping away from the trade table on Asik, per Stein. Always a little difficult reading negotiating tactics, but I have to say I'm glad to hear that at least they're having a tough time finding a deal they like. I assume that balloon payment Asik's due next year is keeping his value lower than his strong play as a starter last year would otherwise dictate.
