Rockets Trade Omer Asik to Pelicans for Future 1st Round Pick

[EmpireWF]

Houston begins their quest to clear space for LeBron and/or Melo. They deal Omer Asik to New Orleans along with $1.5M cash for their 1st round pick in next year's draft.

Good looking in New Orleans, pairing Asik with Anthony Davis.

Rockets will now look to push Jermey Lin and his abhorrent contract on someone.

Pelicans also reportedly looking to dump Austin Rivers' salary.
