Don't kid yourself, you would still be a Rockets fan. KG? meh, old and injured. Would be be that big of an upgrade over Asik? I'm really not sure because it depends on his health status. We can dream about LMA all we want but I'm sure they would want someone like Parsons in return, not just Asik. If Dwight does end up here we should go for a guy like Ryan Anderson.
At present, I tend to agree. Motiejunas is a stretch center in the making. As he gains strength and weight, D-Mo IMO will be a stud inside and outside the paint. In the interim, he would excel if paired with Dwight Howard.
Nope no need for that. Asik is a very valuable asset. If Lowry gets you a lotto pick that turns into Harden what does a young defensive double double center on a reasonable contract net you?
T.Jones can play inside out as well, also a better rebounder. Jones needs work on post moves and needs to get stronger. Dmo needs to work on shot, rebounding, strength, and defense. the only thing Dmo has on Jones is his post moves. I like Dmo, but right now Jones is better.
I agree. Don't give up on DMo. Each year he will get bigger, and one day, BAM, he'll suddenly be a perfect fit in the post. Look at Tiago Splitter. He sucked bad his first year. San Antonio stuck with him, and look how he is year three. He's almost ready to become the poor man's Tim Duncan, once Duncan retires.
And about Garnett, whoever thinks he's washed up needs to watch Boston's playoff series this year for the first time. Because obviously you didn't watch it if you are voting against him. He was a force. Playing D, getting rebounds all over the place and hitting outside jump shots. Exactly what we need. The rest of his team was garbage. On the Rockets he would be rejuvenated, and we would be deep enough to rest him heavily during the regular season to keep him 100% come playoff time.
I don't think KG can be depended on to play a whole season plus playoffs. I'd look elsewhere. KG has been a great player, I like him probably more than most on the board. For minimum price with a deep bench, he might work out. But the time where he can be relied on to bring it every night as a starter is over.
two years ago, I'd say yes. But Garnett is on the verge of retiring. I think we can get a little bit more than KG for Asik. Perhaps the Celtics throw in a first rounder.
dude wat r u on tonight? omg.. geez this is absolutely terrible..omer asik is young, kg is OLD he only has a 1-2 years left then its over. KG wants to stay with celtics and wants to retire as one..he came to the celtics becuz of paul pierce. so the ONLY Reason he played 2012-2013 season is becuz of PAUL PIERCE nd if pierce wanted to retire for w/e reason then so would KG. and how do i kno this? becuz that's what KG SAID. PAY ATTENTION TO THE NEWS.
