    In past years, Asik has been better, but this year he's really not a step up from Joel. Rebounding is really it so far this year

    I think the point is that their bench isn't very good. Adding Bass and Lee gives them immediate help on their bench.

    Re: Omer Asik & rumored Portland involvement, I'm told Blazers "not even remotely involved." Yahoo! reporting Boston making progress.

    That's actually good news. If the deal involves Boston, I want nothing they have.

    That'd be a #19 pick if the draft was today (Atlanta's pick).

    Sometimes I feel like you are the only fan here that loves the #1 team in the league as much as I do <3

    He wanted to blow your favorite team up after the first loss to Phoenix.

    I never thought we wanted Asik, but helping facilitate and getting an asset would have been the most likely IMO

    I think Bass and Lee helps Houston. Doesn't jump them up a level but makes them deeper with a couple vet players who can help from time to time.


    Not sure what to make out of Houston. I thought they would be a top 3 team with Harden and Howard. Lin is underperforming but they have a good find in Beverly. Not a team I would want to face in the first round.

    If Boston/Houston do an Asik deal, does that make a theoretical Hawes to Portland deal slightly more likely?

    A guy can hope, can't he?

    The question was asked if Portland was interested in Asik. So being a third team for other players can still be in play. I'm just glad we didn't jump the gun and try and get Asik.

    It could be entirely possible. It would be foolish of Philly to just let Hawes walk after this season. I think we have the tanking pieces they need! :ghoti:

    More like the Rockets floated Portland's name to generate a better deal. Nothing to see here.
