Omri Casspi has reached agreement on a two-year deal with the Houston Rockets

lol I love this signing. Cassipi will do a great job filling the adam morrison role.

 

Are we going to have to deal with nazis and stuff like that?

 

Casspi was actually very decent and effective in his rookie year in Sac-town,really played well and it was surprising since he was picked in the 23rd pick in the draft,unfortunately for him he had to face the rookie wall,and his averages dropped in his Sophomore year as well,matter of fact Casspi's career is in regression.
Casspi proved that he can play ball for a coach who truly believes in him,he needs to gain confident,it's an important issue with him,the city he lives in also matters,I mean he really liked Sacramento in terms of climate,Cleveland was bad for him in terms of climate,so I believe Houston will be a good fit for this youngster.
Casspi and cisco were great buddies back then in Sacramento,Cisco kinda took Casspi under his wings,so I believe it won't be a problem for Casspi to fit in because he is truly a hard worker.

 

Don't worry buddy, Adelman is in Minnesota now

 

Well, this signing is pretty much 100% based on potential. Maybe if it doesn't pan out you can see about taking that GM job from that scrub who is doing things completely wrong.

 

Actually afaik Turkey is not in the same league like those other muslim countries having their neverending war against Israel. If im not wrong there is even a pretty large Israeli population in turkey's largest city Istanbul. (please correct me if im wrong you turkish Oof's :grin: )

 

Don't want to D&D this...

But the following article is a couple of years old, and relations haven't gotten better:

Don't read if you don't want to read politics type stuff.

That said, I don't get the feeling that Asik is particluarly a fervent AKP member. Professional athletes, it seems, tend to not have time to get too into politics.

 

he plays like a nachbar.

 

Can't belive some of these scrub posters that never look at the other side (positive) of the spectrum and immediately post negative hate.

 

Hmmm well,actually Israelis used to visit Turkey a lot,it used to be a common place for Israelis for vacation,but over the years Israel and Turkey had and still having disagreements and controversies,Israel and Turkey severed ties after the Marmara flotilla when the Turks "peace activists" attacked Israeli soldiers therefore,for self-defending the soldiers had to shoot the few of the passangers who attacked them,that really created a crisis.
Now Israelis prefer Greece and Cyprus.

 

His game reminds me of Peja Stojakovic, i think that's why Sacramento drafted him.

 

Ya, a 1st round pick 4 years ago that is still making millions and in the NBA. He must really suck...

 

Like: Every Rockets game will be on Israeli TV.
Dislike: Israeli Caspi-only fans swarming the board.

 

Yes it is ture...i am the evidence for your dislike:grin:

 

I agree. I remember all the people that were b****ing about the Delfino signing and it all worked out. The guy can shoot and loves to run the floor. Good person to come off the bench.

 

He's terrible... regular stats, advanced stats, whatever.

 

actually, Sacramento drafted him with Rockets' 1st round pick in 2009 that was apart of the Ron Artest trade.

 

Rockets looking better and better by the hour

 

At the vet's minimum, this is a fantastic signing. Casspi will almost certainly be a 4 in our system, and he also brings the range shooting that we will need so badly around Dwight. I can't repeat enough times just how important shooting is to our current team, and look at these signings - Garcia, great 3 point shooter. Casspi, 3/4 that shoots the 3. See a pattern there? Rumors are we also have our eyes on Daniel Gibson. There's only one thing he can do. And that's shoot 3s.

Casspi gives D-Mo and T-Jones some more competition. Our depth is really building with these moves. Still need another good veteran wing though.

Fingers crossed for Delfino
