If you're interested, this is one of the things that sold me on Asik's value, in addition to some advance on/off stats:...
In this thread I'm actually less interested in the merits of pursuing Asik (which brings in a LOT of factors) and more interested in comparing Lopez...
I buy this too. Probably the best argument against pursuing Asik.
Fair points. I like the idea of both of them, obviously. I've just been operating under the assumption that Lopez would be the first piece inserted...
If by math you mean Trade Machine stuff, trading Lopez, Leonard, and another cheap piece for Asik works. McCollum and Claver and Barton all work as...
I don't think Asik gives a damn about getting shots. And I actually don't really have an issue with him demanding a trade. He know's he's a...
If Lopez played so well that he could net you Asik straight up, that would only serve to further cement Olshey's brilliance.
Why so emphatic? If it was cheap, Asik would just step in and do what Lopez is doing, except better. Lopez is a great story, and again as I said in...
Some weird non sequitur responses in this thread. I'm not saying an Asik trade is likely or that we should do it (see my OP), but any hypothetical...
The Asik talk is never going to die until he's trade somewhere. Bill Simmons and Zach Lowe spent several minutes of the latest podcast discussing...
Found.
Anyone know where I can stream the audio?
Thanks for those who pointed out the CBA problems. It was late at night and I'm cramming for the bar. Not sure why the damn trade machine can't do...
Something along these lines maybe: http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=obuxs5e
Good analysis. I keep forgetting to try to get them a young guard in my scenarios. You're right, they would probably prefer that to this deal, but...
It's a principled stance, I'll give ya that. But I like it a lot from our end: With Lillard/McCollum/Barton/Crabbe as the guards, dealing Matthews...
You don't think Gasol raises their 2014 ceiling? I think he's a short-term improvement over Monroe for them. And a better fit with Smith and...
http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=nyxtfok We get Monroe, LA's 2014 unprotected, and CVEC for Aldridge and Matthews. Don't love...
Charlotte is such a great franchise.
If it never happened then the Haynes report was patently erroneous. Such a big scoop, too...
