Just one day after getting a huge road win against the Spurs handing them their first home loss of the season, the Rockets lost to the now 4-13 Jazz. One rumor that has been going around is that Omer Asik is unhappy with his role and wants to be traded. From what I've seen, the price that the Rockets have for Omer Asik is too high for other teams and he will be making $15 million next season, so it will be a tough to deal him. Here are my 2 best scenarios for the Rockets and Asik:

First, we should try to acquire a defensive small forward and play Parsons at the 4. We are dead last in the NBA for forced turnovers and we need another defensive forward. A forward would be best because Patrick Beverley is a great defender at point guard, James Harden and Dwight Howard have already solidified their spots, and Chandler Parsons can do it all. Terrence Jones is good, but we need more depth at forward.
Second, we should try to trade Asik and someone else for a lottery pick. This year's draft class will probably end up being the best draft class this decade. Andrew Wiggins, Jabari Parker, and Julius Randle can all be centerpieces for a franchise. If the Rockets could land one of them, I think we would be the best team in the league.
Hopefully, the Rockets can do something good with this situation they have with Asik right now. They could acquire some good players in return for him and I hope the Rockets can make the right decision on what to do with him.
