[WOJ] Rockets Shopping Asik

Or lottery pick? Interesting.

 

 

 

Would love to have Millsap. Sucks that they'd have to wait until December 15th for any potential deal though.

 

If Woj reports it - now it's really happening. Morey's assets are revolting.

 

So much for not feeling well, LOL

 

Not surprising. Hope we get good return back, instead of dropping value after he demands a trade.

 

Interesting to see Rockets are targeting lottery picks. 2014 is loaded...

 

If Morey can get a 2014 lottery pick for him, I will contribute to making a golden statue of him.

 

Woj by far is the most credible reporter we have in NBA today! Good stuff.

Morey gaining that asset to work LMA deal

 

Could it be that the rest of the league is just not that high on Asik?

 

What kind of net-vibe do you get from being Asik? I know he's very media shy, but he seems like a great personality whe he's loose and a tireless worker around the clock.

 

Lottery Pick...??? YESSSSSSS....!!!!

 

Yeah, I think Millsap is the best fit if we can`t get one of the 4 stars (Love, LMA, Bosh, Horford). He has a very reasonable contract and is something like an ultimate role player - does everything well but nothing elite and won`t take any touches away from our stars.

I also find it really interesting that we are interested in a draft pick -question would be if we`d want it for us or to use in a trade like the one that netted us Harden. I don`t really think we are ready to wait for a draft pick to develope and that the team would much rather have an impact player that can help us right now. I don`t know if that is Anderson - there is a lot going on with him right now and the question is, if he can reach last seasons level again. And I am not so sure about him on the defensive side of the court. A deal with Anderson would definetly need another piece like a backup C or a draft pick.

 

No. If every trade involves negotiation--a planned for constant perceived loss from the function of trade--then one must start the selling price high to keep average returns the same.

 

Asik for lottery pick when the team's in win-now mode? Bad deal. Howard has, what, maybe 2-3 years of prime left in him?

 

I think this is a smart move. 2014 Lottery pick will most likely give you another star in the league if not super star. Think of it this way: Rockets could be competitive in the next 10 years with James, Lin, Parson and this lottery pick. 10 years!!
