Not sure why people want to package asik and Lin for an "elite" pg.
First of all, most elite pgs aren't available. The ones that may be available will likely have poor fit with the team (Rondo) or are simply not an upgrade (Lowry).
For those that believe otherwise, please pinpoint me to a pg that is attainable that is actually an upgrade over Lin.

Last time we had 2 ball dominant guards, one was relegated to spot up duties then to the second unit.... Just saying.

At least lin can shoot, and doesn't have an ego.

i would have to say though, the Viper's context is completely crazy at this point, they're running the team like an actual NBA team while their opponents play like 13 individuals, which really mess with the context a bit.
We'll have our chances to see Canaan in the season in most likelihood given that Injuries will likely continue to happen. lets have some sample o him doing stuff in the NBA first.

Rockets are set at point guard. They do not need another PG or an elite PG when you have Harden, Lin, or Parsons that can facilitate and score. Some teams need an elite PG like the Clippers, but the Rockets are not one of those teams.
What they do need is a back up center for when Asik is traded. Greg Smith is not a center. Neither is D-Mo. If they can't get something good for Asik, he is just going to have to suck it up and help this team win as a member of the second unit.
It would be amazing if the Rockets could trade Asik for another center that can play D and bring something to the table offensively with the second unit. That is Asik's only real weakness, but it is significant.

How can you judge smith and demo yet when they are so young? They are both very talented.

I'm not judging them. D-Mo and Smith are talented at PF, but they are not the solution for a back up Center. I like them both.

I would agree that we need to get a post player back in any deal, though I would hesitate to say that we need a C. We need a 3rd big who can theoretically cover either position, someone who can step into the starting lineup if need be.
Along with this big, if we can't get a 3&D guy we need picks, picks, and more picks. Few teams can work the draft as well as Dork Elvis. OKC, IND, CHI, and GS are among those who can, but we're right up there.
