Omer Asik Trade. Rumors, Tweets and Updates. (Deadline Dec 20th)

Spiegel · Dec 19, 2013

The guy splashing 3's according to Doc's riddle laden tweet could be Krover and Millsap. After seeing highlights of Krover going 8-10 from the 3pt line the guy is automatic from the three point line.

Multiple league sources told the Globe Wednesday it was likely Morey was trying to stir interest in Asik than a deal was in the works. Another league source said that, in fact, a deal was not in the works.

However, late in the evening, yet another league source told the Globe a deal was "close" and the sides were haggling over the draft pick. Another league source said that Bass was not involved in a proposed deal.

In the next edition of the story on the Boston Globe, we'll have an additional league source questioning whether "Omer Asik" even exists.

http://bostonherald.com/sports/celt...013/12/celtics_rockets_trade_talks_not_so_hot

On the list of spectators for this latest round of trade rumors, one should be certain to include the Celtics. While the club is said to be more than open to the possibility of acquiring Omer Asik from Houston, it has made no move in that direction in several days.

Multiple sources confirmed that an offer of Brandon Bass, Courtney Lee and a first-round draft pick — protected, at that — was indeed made by the Celts ... last week. When it was summarily turned down by the Rockets, the matter was closed and remained such as of late today.

And in a separate issue, as regards Rajon Rondo, matters have yet to be opened. Several sources are now insisting that the Celtics have grown even more committed to seeing how well the Rondo-Brad Stevens combination, already in harmony off the court, performs in games.

Back on the Asik front, the growing belief is that Houston, working under a self-imposed quasi-deadline of tomorrow to deal Asik (because the Rockets would be able to then move the players they receive by the Feb. 20 NBA trade deadline), is looking to stir interest in the backup center.

The Celtics were one of the teams that sought to be involved when Asik became available, but, according to an executive from another club, Danny Ainge has set the price he’s willing to pay and isn’t interested in overspending.

“Why should he?” said the source. “He’s holding a lot of cards. He has some decent players and a lot of first round draft picks. And that team isn’t going anywhere this year, so what’s his rush?”

Asik could fit well with the Celts as a better version of Kendrick Perkins, but he is not without his limits. He is seen as a 25-to-30 minute-a-game player who is an offensive liability at the end of games (a .534 career free throw shooter).

Asik’s defense would help solidify the C’s, but he wouldn’t be enough to lift the club to the level of contender.

Among his best assets for the Celtics would be that his presence would allow Jared Sullinger to play his more natural power forward position.

But, again, as of today, that point was seen as moot.

The Celtics were not deep in talks with the Rockets today. They were not negotiating over which first-round pick would be included in the deal or how well protected that pick would be.

According to a source from a team that has been involved in the process and dropped out, the next move would have to come from the Rockets.

“It’s kind of funny how things that have been dead for a while keep coming up,” he said. “The only way I can see anything happening is if Daryl (Morey, the Houston GM) decides he wants something that he’s already said no to.

“I can see where the thing with Boston makes sense for (the Celtics). Lee and Bass are good, but they’re complementary guys. And if the first-round pick is protected, what do (the Celtics) have to lose? But Daryl didn’t go for that before, and I don’t see how he changes on that. Asik has to be a more important asset than that.”

The Rockets have known for quite some time that Asik wants out. Word is he was told the club would sign no center ahead of him when he agreed to join Houston as a free agent in 2012. When Dwight Howard was lured this past summer, Asik reminded them of his and quietly asked to be moved.

The Rockets tried to play Howard and Asik together, but the presence on the floor of two non-shooters was a problem. And Asik, who will be a free agent again after next season, told the team he would not be able to get his minutes and rebound numbers with Howard around.

That led to this past week and a bidding war that may be growing short on bidders.

Either WOJ is a big freaking liar or the Celtics are trying to save face in case Morey tells them HELL NO to their offer. So that their players don't look down at the front office and organization for trying to trade them.

I choose the latter.
