    What makes you think we will ever get Ibaka? OKC let Harden go because they want to have enough money to keep Ibaka. Ibaka is not going anywhere any time soon. So stop your fantasy.

    Tough choice, very tough. I love Asik, but if OKC offered Ibaka straight up for Asik, Morey would probably do it 100 times. After all, Ibaka is only 23.

    Maybe he wasn't saying Ibaka would get traded here, and simply asking who we liked better as players?:confused:

    You need to take a chill pill bro or stop whatever drugs you're taking. Its just a question of preference.

    I say keep him unless you can trade him for a star big man with higher upside. In reality, you probably don't even get your foot in the door for a Love, Aldridge, or Cousins trade without this guy being in the deal at this point now that the league has been put on notice about what he can give you with starters minutes. Depends on how much you value those guys and what you feel like you can do to fill in the roster around them. Cousins would be your new center if you had to give up Asik in a deal, but if you give him up for a PF, you have to ask yourself how much do you believe in Greg Smith and are we better with say Love and Smith or Asik and Milsap/Josh Smith?

    NO. He's been pacing Tyson Chandler's early year's numbers.

    Would YOU trade a younger Tyson Chandler?:mad:

    Thank you. You seem like to use the word 'drug' a lot. Is it because you often use them? :p

    When there is no reality of something happens in real life or whatsoever, that's what I call 'fantasy'. And talking fantasy here is meaningless. If you like that much to talk about fantasy, why dont we start talking about getting Lebron to the team? :rolleyes:

    I just used the word drug once. Please go back to school and learn how to count. And what does fantasy have to do with a general question of preference? Don't you ever ask your buddies which player they prefer in general? Maybe you need to take a nap to chill out.

    No, because his original post:
    He worded the question not as a comparison of two players but use the word "prefer" as if we really had choice here.

    If he had asked: which do you think is a better player, Asik or Ibaka? Then I would seriously think about that and give my answers.

    I'm open to trade anyone on the roster but it always boil down to for who?

    I wouldn't even trade Asik for Bynum straight up because I don't think Bynum will be able to stay healthy.

    There is a lack of good centers available. We were lucky to get him. Why trade him away?

    That's when I lost any interest to discuss because I know too well of the type of people who usually resort to name calling or personal attack (as you showed twice in your two posts) when don't have solid argument or reasoning.

    Enjoy your fantasy, bro.

    No one in their right mind trades a good center that isn't hurt or disgruntled

    People were hating on Morey's paying $25,000,000 for 3 years to get a backup.

    Now Omer Asik is a bargain, you know?

    Very few bigs I'd trade him for.

    This poll needs an option that says 'this poll is stupid.'
