Right now I am just rooting for Melo, Lebron, or any other "superstar" to go to the Rockets. Honestly I have no faith in their ability to win a championship, and I would absolutely love the chance at getting Parsons for the next 4 years. Asik would be a great addition to our team, but like others have said.. I seriously doubt they would be willing to trade to us.
Honestly, I am really hoping the Gasol rumur doesn't not come to fruition. We need defense in the post if we want to contend for a championship... if we add Deng, Parsons, or even Ariza to the 3 spot OFFENSE will not be an issue. There are so many interesting possibilities for this off season... if we walked away with a Calderon/Ellis/Deng/Dirk/Gasol staring lineup with Harris, Crowder, Carter, and Delembert off the bench I would be disappointed.

LeBron/Melo joining Houston won't really impact their ability to re-sign Parsons because his cap hold is so small, less than $2M. Assuming they can trade Asik/Lin for no salary (which I think will be relatively easy to do), they'd have to be really foolish and irresponsible with the rest of their cap space to price themselves out of a quality FA signing
and Parsons. Unless their owner refuses to pay the luxury tax.
