    I felt like he was kept out last night for just this reason. Either that or he was in so short of a time I blinked. He is great trade bait ! Eastern conference please.

    He is no Yao Ming.... a true professional and home grown
    Today's players they have less loyalty.

    It's more likely the agent trying to create the rumour/new market for Asik. Asik himself would never say anything to the public, but it's in the interest of opposing teams and agents to leak it to see what kind of reaction the media would have, and if he media reaction can spur trade talks between teams. I doubt Morey will be fazed though, we all knew McGrady was going to be traded, but Morey still fished around for a good deal before pulling the trigger. He'll get good value out of Asik that's for sure.

    Why does everybody even want LMA?

    The dude is streaky. Plus way overrated. I just don't think Asik is valued enough to get him...

    almost every team in all honesty. Willing to trade for asik? about half the teams. teams with targets we would want to acquire? about 6-8.

    How does one have loyalty to a team, especially when a team is sabremetric-centric? Not that that's a bad thing, but where some teams have players, the Rockets have ASSETS that they use to trade around. Unless you're a superstar, you're not a person to them, you're just someone they haven't traded yet.

    If the story is true, then it makes one wonder why Jeremy Lin didn't ask the same just a few weeks ago.

    How about Asik to the Pacers for Granger? Would probably piss Asik off to be backing up Hibbert...

    I can't say I don't feel sympathy for him. He leaves Chicago to start in Houston, only to ends up in the same situation with Howard's acquisition.
    Hope Morey can get something good for him.
