    Yeah, but Asik isn't worth losing sleep over. He never should have been allowed to get away with this from the start. He killed his value and he's not an all-star.

    Now it's time to turn Jeremy Lin and company into as much expiring salary, picks, and young talent as possible.

    LOL doesn't affect the matter at hand but sure why not! A player banging models is great for the team too, publicity!

    So it seems morey is playing hardball. That's good I wasn't liking the trade w the celtics. I would have prefer hawes than bass and Courtney. I still wouldn't be surprise if Dmorey gets a trade down on Friday night. ;p or just before the trade dateline on feb.

    So for now

    Because all of that is going to help us win now, when we are still in our window of contention....

    That's because he's only a championship type center on teams like Miami, San Antonio and OKC...

    I expect Asik will pout and damage his trade value further. Morey will end up settling for a Bass/Lee-type package at the deadline anyway.

    I wonder what we could have netted in the summer had we traded him immediately.

    This.

    I can understand the reservations about his contract, but hopefully somebody can drill into his head that he is largely in a prison of his own making. Act like a b!tch = drive down your trade value = we ain't finna trade you for peanuts = turn that frown upside down & play to your true ability as long as we need you to, kthxbai.

    MKG has bust written all over him, or he's a very long project. Charlotte is the perfect setting for him.

    After it's all said and done, we weren't gonna get anything much better than Asik himself. Omer Asik is what this team needs anyhow. Hopefully he wisens up, realizes that we tried to do him a solid to fulfill his request, and gets back to being a team player. If he buys into a building a contender, this non-trade is the best thing that could have happened.

    Other teams know that Morey isn't willing to keep $20 million in salary do nothing but wearing a suit @ games. There will be a trade, but the question is what are we getting in return.

    It sounds like Morey might be forced to sell Asik @ rock bottom price, like an expiring and a 2nd round pick, but he will fight like hell not to be stuck with a bad deal. :mad:
