Rockets pride. Don't want to be here Omer? See ya!

Asking for a trade is counter-productive...

1. makes it harder for the team to trade you
2. its a negative PR (see howard)
3. lowers down your value because of no professionalism.

now he is asking not to play... SMH

 

judging by tonight, Jones and Motiejunas want it more than Asik

 

Yup, it reeks of something else.

 

still believe Asik's agent is providing the leaks, not productive for the Rockets. Not a team player, but then he doesn't expect or want to be on this team.

Omer, what a sad ending....

Go Rockets!

 

Thanks for starting this thread. It's good to see Parsons sound off. Wouldn't have seen it in the Humunga cowabunga threads on omer.

 

Omer under the weather according to bill.. hahahaha

 

Parsons backing up his words with his game tonight ..CHANDLER BANG !

 

Asik is overrated.
He's so overrated that people thought that it'd be a good idea to play him and Dwight together because he was "too good" to come off the bench.

This isn't lebron and dwade figuring out how to mesh. Asik was never good enough to overcome the incompatibility of their games. Dwight is going to get his.

This is the same mentality that led many to the conclusion that "we didn't need Dwight, because we had Asik". I like Asik and wish he would accept his role, but he's not good enough to take his ball and go home.

He's being paid. That's teason enough to play ball.

I hope we can quickly trade him and move on.

 

I don't know what's worse with the OP..the fact that he holds a mediocre player as the "epitome of pride" or the fact that just showing a little appreciation to a player who gave a 100% to our team last year and wants to play instead of just collecting his millions on the bench irks him so much.

 

Houston has one of the most diverse food scenes in the country.

 

Asik and his agent have handled this whole situation rather stupidly. Asik stock is going down at this point if you ask me by acting like an unprofessional big baby. Yes its understandable the disappointment but be a bigger man in this situation and whenever your number is called, go out there and play and show how you can still help a team when/if traded. Asik at this point is being very spiteful and I've lost some respect for him at this point. I feel the team will be better off without him (Dmo needs to shore up his defense but hopefully with more playing time that will come).

 

We can sit him as long as we want and we aren't trading him back to CHI, where I think he wants to go.

I think we see these next 10 or so games what we have with TJones and DMo and get the player who can cover their deficiencies.

Sorry, Omer, did you see how our offense opened up when we just play one big?

 

You are delusional if you believe Parsons to be a "mediocre" player.
Asik gets paid to play basketball and is expected to perform as needed by his employer, which is true with any other job.

 

Doesn't bother me that Omer wants to leave and it is well within his rights to request a trade. After all this is a business and in Houston everyone is treated like an asset so why not have it work both ways. What is troublesome is the fact that this is being played out in public rather than handled internally. I think the organization should have done a better job of containing the story when it broke.

 

Request being traded while refusing to play the game? That's on Royce White's level or worse because Asik does not have legit mental problem.

 

Complete dick move by parsons. Omer never called you or your boys out for giving up on defense last year. How many times did chandler or harden or lin put omer in foul trouble because they just didnt give a ***** on defense or were clueless on how to do that. Omer effs it up for a game or two and you go all twitter tough guy on him? Slow your roll. Why dont u send one of those messages to harden talking about him quitting on them team defensively? Effing complete b**** move.

 

But is Asik really refusing to play the game or does the organization refuse to play him?

 

Oh, now I see OP. Thanks for clearing that up! F*** Omer. He name doesn't even deserve to be here! Anyone who thinks showing just a little appreciation for what he did for us last year is no longer a Rockets fan. Okay gotcha. And Parsons for MVP!
