    Pritchard drafted and immediately traded Asik, to the worshipful praise of Pritchard lovers. Asik fits McHale's system like a glove, but I'm not sure about here.

    Ugh, what? Asik doesn't fit anymore with Howard there. He had a game recently where he played 4 minutes and he's requested a trade at least twice now.

    The Blazers are playing great but who would turn down a chance at one of last season's leading rebounders and shot blockers?

    There would need to be a third team involved but trading some combination of CJ, Lenoard, Robinson, Freeland, Crabbe, Barton and picks would make sense.
    Imagine having a Asik/Lopez center combination? That is championship caliber stuff.

    Only way we do it is having Lopez as well. So who do they want? Freeland?

    I would give Freeland, crabbe, and claver. Otherwise it makes no sense

    Im not sure how it gets done but if I have learned anything this year its that you should never under-estimate Olshey.

    I don't like it, especially if Lopez is involved. Houston is desperate. Portland making this trade would mean Houston doesn't really solve the issues then have at PF. On a side note, I don't like Asik's attitude.

    There is absolutely no way Olshey would do that if they wanted Lopez.

    Terrence Jones has really stepped up the last 3 games. Maybe their PF problems are getting better.

    They want a 'stretch' 4? We have Claver and Leonard. Freeland can also play PF.

    I don't do it if we have to trade Lopez. And I also am not crazy about Asik's presumed 'attitude', but at the same time I think he'd be happier in Portland than Houston given the circumstances.

    I'd love it if they traded us Asik for our backups, then Howard goes down with his bad back. I don't expect it however, since Houston management seems to like to get the better end of deals.

    I'd be devastated if we gave up on Robin Lopez. Aldridge likes Lopez. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

    Yeah, no kidding. I don't see them trading him after 14 games (counting tonights) and he set his career high in boards TWICE during that time. That'd just be ridiculous.

    There is NO WAY Olshey will do that. I'm 100% guaranteeing it

    Who would you rather have: Asik or Noah? For this team, I'd pick Noah.
