[Fox 26] Morey to meet with Omer Asik in LA tonight

I'd go for Hawes more than I would Asik.

Hawes may not be as good as Asik on D, but offensively, Hawes is streets ahead.

 

We don't have a center on the roster and people on here are complaining that he is overrated.

On this board, apparently filling out all 5 positions in basketball is underrated.

Until you see some contract details being thrown around, spare the overrated talk. Because right now, with our need, we don't really have a baseline of measure to decide how he should be rated....

 

I wonder if Morey would immediately turn around and express interest in Noah in the event of an Asik match. Seems silly for the Bulls to tie up that much money in one position.

 

Maybe Morey's real interest is in Noah?

 

I love how EVERYONE is saying Clutch Fans overrates Asik. Find me ONE post, just one, where someone overrates him.

Clutch Fans knows the Rockets need a center. Clutch Fans knows Hibbert will be matched and Asik is the best attainable center not on the decline.

Some of you guys just pull stuff outta your ass. Here are some interesting stats for you guys.

Asik in less than 15 minutes per game grabbed over 5 rebounds and average 1 block per game. Not bad for a legit 7 foot, 255 pound center who has only been in the league for 2 years. He's only 25 years old. I would say there is truth to the Bulls shopping Noah because they know Asik can cheaply replace him.

If he is given 30 minutes per game his stat line should be around:

7ppg
10 rpg (4 offensive)
2 bpg
1 spg
2 topg
1 apg

 

No, I'm pretty sure it's just Morey he doesn't like.

 

We don't need offense at center, we need a man. A guy who's going to be tough, who's going to rebound, defend and protect the paint. Which one of those does hawes check for? hawes would be nice if we had howard for him to play along with but he's just not a fit for us.

 

Does dynex have tablets?

 

I remember a couple years ago when there was talk that Orlando wanted Kevin Martin in exchange for a mid-20's seldom played back up center with good metrics named Marcin Gortat.

At the time it seemed absurd. I think if you offered that deal today, I do it and feel lucky.

 

Pierce Approves.

 

Gortat would be great, but suns would be stupid to get rid of him.

 

Thsts kind of my point. If you wait Asik to go somewhere, round out his game, get more PT and prove he is a genuine NBA starting center, at that point he will no longer be available.

 

There was a thread about Noah or Asik where some preferred Asik to Noah. There have been multiple threads about free agency where people have chimed in with their desire for Asik over many other good NBA players. The guy is nothing more than a serviceable back up. Carl Herrera is part of the Asik fan club...the fact that there is a make believe fan club for the guy is proof that he's overrated. It would be just like me creating a Zan Tabak Fan Club. Remember, the guy the Rockets drafted and let go, who ended up averaging 9 rpg per 36 min for his career? You would think that at 7'0 and those kinds of rebounding skills, the guy would average more than 15 mpg for his career.

 

I guess I missed it even though I thought I have read all of the posts in this thread, but I have not seen anyone overrating Asik. Please direct me to the post where that is happening. To the best of my knowledge he has been advertised as a good rebounding defensive center with few offensive skills.

 

I like this news!

 

I don't even want him as a starter. I would like him on the team and get maybe 20 minutes a night depending on the situation.

 

My thinking exactly

 

maybe we can send them Lowry and Terrence Jones

 

Yup, gotta take risk.

 

Asik would be perfect for our team.

Sign and trade using Lee.

I'm so down.
