He sure is quick to pull the trigger. Not starting me? I demand a trade! Although I guess he did technically also ask for one in the offseason.
Brett Poirier NBA @BrettNBA 58m Rumor: Raptors would be "highly interested" in Houston's Omer Asik, according to Sam Amico. Rumor is that the Raptors are highly interested in Asik. What would you take from them?
Trade him to the Thunder for Ibaka. The Thunder have been looking for a true center forever and it will be easier to replace Ibaka than to find a center like Asik.
Not sure I agree, but understand your thinking. I might get blasted for this, but I'm not convinced Dwight is a Superstar. I really like what Dwight gives you as it pertains to defense and rebounding. This said, I don't see it at all on the offensive side of the ball. Superstars want to cut your heart out, they demand the ball late and when it matters. I don't see this from Dwight. I see a guy who shy's away from these moments. I like Dwight, I do, but expect more fire from a 20 million a year player. It's still early, so I'm defineitly not jumping off of the Dwight bandwagon, I'm just concerned.
I hate trading Asik to a western contender, but this trade makes a lot of sense for both teams. We need a PF and they need a center. Win win for both teams.
To be fair, Ömer pretty much has the same expression after he has a 20 rebound dominant game in a playoff win, too.
