The goal then would be to keep Parsons long term and either try to flip Lin and Asik on draft day or find a taker for one or both of their expiring deals in S&T scenarios for free agents.
Honestly, we could still be major players in the 2014 FA class while fielding a competitive team next year. Overall, it's a best case scenario if Dwight is determined to go to Houston. Those three+Nah and Pau should make for a pretty good squad, and young those legs on this team can't possibly hurt. Parsons figures to take another step forward as it is, so why not? That's a good deal for LA both short and long term. Possibly the best realistically possible deal there is.
On the surface, Houston has all the leverage in this situation and wouldn't need to include Parsons to get it done, but it would be in the Rockets best interest if they want to pursue Paul. It's a small price to pay to secure a legit Big Three. Otherwise, they can add Dwight and try again next year.
