Asik's too good a rebounder/defender at his cap number to pass up if he's available for Marion. At the same time, with things as they are right now - and things could change - I think LD's right that in the short term Marion does more to get the Rockets to the next round than Asik does to get the Mavs to the next round. In a lot of ways, Shawn is exactly what that Rockets squad is missing. Regardless, odds are against a deal getting done. Houston will probably prefer not to deal with Dallas even if the reverse isn't true, and I expect some other team will be willing to offer the Rockets a comparable return.
