Asik might pull in some nice value

If, and that is only if, the Lakers I keep D'Antoni would I entertain the idea of trading for Lin. I like him. But he doesn't fit in the triangle, but is prefect for the run and gun of D'Antoni's system.

Lin looks to me like another Yao Ming/Asian injury prone type.  Those Asian bones just aren't as strong to withstand the wear and tear of an NBA season.  I was shocked Lin made it through last year healthy, and that will prove to be an anomaly.

Dantoni is a horrible coach. With all that talent he had last year, they ended up an 8th seed?  And he still kept his job?

I'm afraid you really mean that.

And he might have a point, believe it or not..... And Lin didn't make it through last season, he was actually injured on and off throughout the season and sat out in the playoffs.

Not really, it's just that people of that size just have issues.  I'm not talking about 7-footers, I'm talking about people well past that.  Look up any notable giant.  I remember watching some program on the tallest living guy, and his bones are all messed up and he can barely stand up perfectly straight.  I'm sure Manut Bol had some injuries too.

asians are known for having lower bone density
