    More like Lin, Harden, and Asik helped the rockets. He turned out be a very good center. He is a top 10 center. He has every right to ask for a trade which i hope will benefit him and the Rockets.

    If Morey has dealt with having Terrence Williams, Royce White, Marcus Morris, Kevin Martin and Kyle Lowry on the roster when they were unhappy, I think he'd be OK with having unhappy Asik.

    Add T-Mac in aswell, but yeah Morey isn't going to give in that easliy. He will wait his turn and when the right deal comes along he will grab it.

    This is what makes Morey a great GM. He insists on having all the players sign contracts.

    Omer is a guy who fights every night and doesnt get the ball at all. I watched almost every game last year and i don't remember any of his post plays. Yes he is bad at it but he doesn't whine about touches, he just fights and plays d. After a year like that he won't be satisfied with 10-15 minutes per game and i can understand that.

    Not until January 15 sir I believe, but why would you want him? He's undersized at the 4 and will have trouble guarding some 4s
