asik played really disinterested in those 4min of PT yesterday -- maybe DM already had something in the works and today's trade request is just asik's agent putting pressure on DM to finish a deal
Wait a minute. Did Omer send out a tweet? Did he make a comment on his Facebook page? I'm not aware that he made anything public. Maybe he did make his request in private but the leak came from someone in the Rockets organization. Don't blame Omer when you don't know the facts.
The best center in the game took your job. You're getting paid $25 million by HOU after you were averaging like 4 and 4. Do your job.
True but maybe hes mad at the situation. He can hit ft. In his mind he must be thinking he is not TOO far from Dwight's impact (offensively) so to him it is unfair.
We won't get any good value for him now. This is obvious, otherwise he'd have been traded by now. Morey made a big mistake.
The one thing he can be blamed for is his on the court effort. To be fair, I can certainly understand the motivation to "half-ass" it a bit. I might even do the same. Nonetheless, he certainly appears to be not trying as hard as he could to make it work... and that does no one any favors.
Response Asik is great in D and rebounds, but he really sucks in offense and catching the ball. If he could shoot long to mid range, then maybe he can do something, but the guy can't even catch and dunk with his height. QUOTE=pakattak;8419943]Ungrateful?! If I was in Asik's position I'd do the same thing, honestly. A big man of his caliber can't be wasting his best years sitting on the bench.[/QUOTE]
This makes me sad... I wanted Asik and DH to be like the Great Wall of defense with one of each constantly on the court
Is there any video of him "half-assing" it? Maybe even side by side with a video of his full ass to compare?
I think Omer should just play and shut up about trade demands. Its not like he is an all-star. He just came off a good year but he wasn't phenomenal, specially on offense. How many times has the ball slipped right thru his fingers or hands and how many time he miss a dunk or doesn't finish a lay up at point blank. He is a great guy. I liked him a lot and his attitude last year. No complains just work and do ur thing. But it's pretty crappy that he can't just wait till the Rox have something or a good trade for him and the team. He is still getting pay no matter what. No matter if he gets 5 or 1 min or none he is still getting paid a ton. We gave him a chance, well the Rockets org did. He could at least be grateful and play with effort and if we find something good for us and for him thats good. I'm really disappointed on Omer. Yeah u lost ur starting job but u got paid get some big boy pants and deal with it. Jeremy did and he had to deal with adversity last season when he wasn't playing so well. At least Lin got a hype during Linsanity and showed something. Still people say he got over paid. Omer was a big question. I never doubted Morey and liked the sign but who would have paid him what we did. He would have gotten probably less. And without the poison pill he would have stayed in Chicago. People were saying we over paid two players and Omer was a big question. I wish he would have at least try. Dwight and Omer could have been a great duo but It never worked. Hope he at least plays and reflects on things. Just at least so people see he is a good player. People will question him if he gets traded and doesn't perform well. He fitted well last year with our kind of play but perhaps he wont fit for every style of play or idk. He should just be quiet and work. is Omer doing the Dwightmare now with us? Omermare? Omerightmare?! At least Dwight had game and he took a team to the finals what has Omer done.
Maybe it's the cold weather in mid-November. Give the guy the benefit of the doubt, everyone deserves that.
ClutchFans @clutchfans Hopefully just a 1 gm absence. RT @seandeveney: Kevin McHale says Omer Asik told him he was not feeling well today and that led to the DNP.
