OT: Omer Asik asks Rockets to trade him......Let the rumors begin...

I mean, I appreciate Asik's defense and rebounding, I really do. And don't want to go uber homer and think because a guy is on our team, all of a sudden his value has increased 10 fold. I just really like having a C on our team who is competent on offense. Who can actually catch and make decent passes. Adding Asik would be going back to playing 4 on 5 on offense. Which means clogged lane for LMA or Lillard trying to drive.

 

I also factor in Asik's $8.3m contract through 2015. He's a nice player, don't get me wrong, but I just don't think he'd bring that much of an improvement to the team. Lopez is a bit awkward, but his got that nice little hook shot on offense when needed, and he's rebounding well now that he seems comfortable.

 

Wow, I don't get the love you guys are giving to Robin's offense. I've seen him make some nice spin moves, he's not Joel/Chris Dudley bad, but he's only shooting 46% from the field, which is not good for center whose main role on offense is to collect garbage points and score at point blank on assists. He's only made 4 of 11 outside 5 feet.

His rebounding percentage is 13.8% Joel Pryzbilla was an elite level rebounder and his rating was over 30%. And if you think that is just an early season fluke, his rebounding % last year was only 12.8% Omer Asik's rebounding % last year was 22%

 

1) Ha! Told you biotches in the other thread. Looks like a DNP-CD tonight. Chemistry is gonna start hurting until they trade him.

2) Looks like the Rockets are set except at the 4, and the only PF we would consider trading is Thomas Robinson. For purposes of salary matching we'd have to include Wes (we're not trading LMA or Batum). However, according to the trade machine we cannot trade Robinson back to Houston until July 1st next year.
Moral: we are not trading for Asik unless another team is involved.
note: I'm not saying that we'd trade Robinson or that Houston would want him. The point is that it is moot.

3) So, a 3-team deal could be worked out, but we'd have to give up Matthews. We have no 2nd rounders for 6 years and don't have a 1st next year.

4) I do think Asik and Robin could play together for 7 minutes a game.

5) It's unlikely we get Asik, but it might be an opportunity for Neil to get in the middle of a 3 team trade.

 

Any time you can trade a top 3 all star pf for a guy that isn't getting any playing time, you just gotta do it.

 

Duh! Buy High, sell Low.

 

^How can you call yourself a "GLOBAL MODERATOR" (whatever the hell that means) when you average like 40 posts A YEAR!!?? Are you Denny's nephew?

 

Don't be ridiculous

 

Yep. Loving Robin

 

Team chemistry is a very delicate balance. Lopez provides it, fits well with our personnel on offense and defense, and Aldridge obviously loves him. I'll stick with Lopez (and Aldridge, obviously). Now if Asik wanted to come off the bench and we could get him for backups....

 

Asik will definitely be traded by the deadline. As a 3rd team, maybe Olshey could grease the trade with $3 million and get us a Mo Williams/Dorrell Wright quality player.

 

simply amazing, didn't I already start a thread like this, this morning?

 

Bgd is retarded. Cut him some slack

 

sorry but no, got tired of doin that shit at Olive, no slack! lol

 

Yeah don't. I get tired of his dumb thread starting too

 

I like Lin and how he has progressed.

He's defending well and is really starting to shoot lights out.
