Re: How screwed will Houston be if they cant land Melo or Lebron?
not really. They will have freed up cap and will be able to draw someone else to join them. Lin and Asik both weren't needed and Parsons will be overpaid. None of the moves they've made are desperate and all are smart basketball decisions.

Re: How screwed will Houston be if they cant land Melo or Lebron?
Well, deal won't be completed until July, when Morey could theoretically still keep Asik if they strike out on top FAs. My understanding is that the trades he lined up for Asik & Lin were to make room for LBJ/Melo this summer and he'd keep those guys if they can't land anybody. If Asik is indeed dealt next month, I'm guessing Houston is landing some superstar this summer.

Re: How screwed will Houston be if they cant land Melo or Lebron?
They got a first round pick for Asik in a cap dump move. Dude was probably going to walk away from the Rockets after this next season anyway. Chances are good the Pelicans pick ends up being in between 4 and 20, so a pretty good move by the Rockets.
Even if they miss out on Lebron and Melo, they'll have a ton of cap space to fill out their roster. Guys like Monroe, Dirk, Bledsoe, Gortat, Zbo, Pau Gasol, Avery Bradley, Jordan Hill, ect are potential guys they could go after.
They won the Asik trade no doubt about it. Not saying Pelicans didn't get a good piece, but they gave up too much when they had all the leverage.

With Mchale coaching, the Rockets were already screwed.

Make the playoffs in west, which means the pick will be 20+ shitty pick (remember that Western teams can't make playoffs as the 16/17th pick due to disparity).
Doesn't make the playoffs, easy lotto pick for Morey.
I think Davis is too good to let Hornets tanks for a top 4 pick anyways.

This.
Losing to Portland in 6 with a roster like that means it is something talent cant solve.

Re: How screwed will Houston be if they cant land Melo or Lebron?
I don't think it is a problem for Houston to lose Asik.

Re: How screwed will Houston be if they cant land Melo or Lebron?
Not really. Asik wasn't a big part of the team as he was redundant with Dwight and Lin is replaceable.

I really don't have a problem with the Rockets, but **** Beverly.

I don't hate them, but if Melo came there the West would become 10x harder for the Warriors
