Asik Trade: The Patient Way

There is no way on earth they would give us gibson AND butler for asik....butler is considered the kawhi leonard of the east.

 

A team will call. Either Portland OR Minnesota. Kind of leaning towards LMA now. The guys shot chart is ridiculous. Makes a perfect fit. I personally like LMA / garcia

 

I think we really need a Dragic type of PG that can play off the ball, defend, and shoot open 3's.

 

Sigh speculate all you want. Morey will come out of nowhere and blind side us all. And the league for that matter.

 

Let it go. Dragic is not coming back. Get over it.

 

Aldridge is probably the best realistic trade option that said I wanna see what Terrence Jones can do as a starter and how much Jeremy Lin improves over the offseason.

May or may not be a reason to trade Asik this season. His value could be better next summer, same with Lin.

 

Both will look better as they will be expiring contracts.

 

This would would only happen if the Blazers's Gm was on crack

 

I agree and to take it a step further LETS CHILL on that "3rd big name". That doesn't always work out like we imagine. Only enough balls to go around. We need good role and complimentary players from here in out IMO!! Hakeem was alone his first ring and only had Drexler his 2nd. Jordan & Pippen. Kobe & Shaq Lebron & Wade (Bosh is a Non Factor IMO), if MIA got rid of Bish they wouldn't lose a beat. The only sucessful "big 3" that comes to mind at the moment that actually worked for awhile was Boston. Ryan Anderson would be a great great addition if Asik doesn't come off his stance of wanting out. Ryan Anderson isn't going to be considered a part of any "big 3" but he would step right in and stretch the floor and wet it up!!!! PERFECT for HOU needs. Again !!! There can't be an All Star at every position. Of course LAC are trying their hardest to stack their team from 1-12.. UNLESS THEY CAN GET RONDO!! That would be a "great 3", leave the team as is but go after role players like Anderson

 

Dragic is not close to an elite 3 pt shooter
He defends ok, plays off the ball.. alright

 

The spacing that Ryan Anderson would provide will make this team almost impossible to defend.

 

Morey will probably be able to package asik + second round picks for a first round pick from a crappy team

But would he do that in the midst of a title run? It's risky but maybe he would do it if there's a prospect he loves

 

Anderson's contract is 1 year too long for what Morey is planning, probably a bit too high too, depends what else they handed over, and then just maybe

 

Asik, Lin, Greg smith to the bucks

Jennings, illyasova, dalembert to rockets

 

you guys overvalue asik too much.

 

Hold it for a moment

I wouldn't trade Asik anywhere yet. Dwight does not play 48 minutes a game and he will be injured at times. I would also explore how they can co-exist on the floor. Remember, Asik is taller than Dwight.

 

boston would want more then that.

 

dear god no.

 

Pretty much.

The only transaction that has been unsubtle would be the campaign for Dwight Howard and those are free agents not trades.

Most of his trades have come out of nowhere i.e. K-Mart to Houston and McGrady to NY, K-Mart to OKC for Harden, and even the T-Rob to Houston for PPat and scrubs... they've all been under the radar moves that most reporters received word of after the fact.

Morey and his wizard sleeves. SMH

 

Toronto isnt going to trade thier pick. They want to have a shot at Wiggins
