But Houston is trying to shed salary these days to make a run at Dwight, so taking on Bargs' salary may not be in their interest.The Baltic Beast is unstoppable!

If Houston really has a chance to land Dwight, then Bargnani is a pretty perfect pairing with him.
Dwight can patrol the paint, rebound, block shots, while Bargs can create space for him to operate.
Lin would be a great backup, and yes an overpaid backup - but not insanely so.
If the deal were expanded to include Thomas Robinson and John Lucas, or a similar move which could also help HOU create more cap room for free agents - you never know.The only way to bag a classy lady is to give her two tickets to the gun show... and see if she likes the goods.

Bargnani's salary and 5% trade kicker takes him to a $11.28M cap it next year.
If the Raps decline option on JL3, amnesty LK, and the luxury tax goes to $71.6M, they can take back up to 150% + $100K of salaries or $5M more.
Bargnani for Lin and T-Rob save the Rockets just $600k.
Plus they have Montiejunas on the roster who is a younger and better rebounding version of Bargnani.

I like Donatas, but he hasn't proven anything in the NBA - certainly not to justify starting with Harden, Dwight, etc. on a contender. I guess the main issue with dealing Bargnani is perceived value. What do other GM's really think of him and his contract? Despite the negative, there are a lot of GM's who have had front row seats to Bargnani abusing their team's defense (and being abused under the glass).The only way to bag a classy lady is to give her two tickets to the gun show... and see if she likes the goods.

Everybody saying Lin would make "a great backup" needs to go back, look at Lin's stats, and recognize that he's a starting-quality PG who's really only a year and a half into his career - and that his stats don't directly show his excellent basketball IQ and his remarkably positive locker-room presence. Trading Bargnani for Lin - which will never, ever happen, even if Houston signs Chris Paul, because in that case they'd need to shed salary - is a no-brainer. Frankly, any trade which gets us Lin and in which we don't give up Jonas, Amir or maaaaaaaybe DeMar is a no-brainer.

In terms of good help defenders on the wing, Parker was our last one....and maybe MoPete before him.
