Celtics-Rockets very close to the agreement for Asik

Gary Washburn: Hearing Asik to #celtics is close. Hearing Lee, Bass and no. 1 pick. Celtics reluctant to give up '14 pick.

Adrian Wojnarowski: Celtics, Rockets still haggling over which future first-round pick goes to Houston in Asik deal, sources tell Yahoo.


UPDATE: Adrian Wojnarowski- Proposed Houston-Boston deal includes no third team, sources tell Yahoo.

UPDATE 00:43: Jonathan Feigen: If Rockets are to deal for Lee and Bass without a third team's cap space help, Asik and Motiejunas contracts could make deal work. For whatever it is worth, or not, Motiejunas, Asik share an agent. D-Mo desperate to play somewhere. He'd prefer it be here, but needs time.

UPDATE 01:03: Chris Mannix: Teams dropping out of Asik sweepstakes quickly, league sources say. Rival execs say it's a Boston-Houston deal. No Jeff Green. Bass, Lee

UPDATE 02:03: David Aldridge: No @AsikOmer trade tonight, leaving Rockets to get a deal done by Thursday to be able to re-route any players acquired by trade deadline.
