Omer Asik Trade. Rumors, Tweets and Updates. (Deadline Dec 20th)

Not as high on Bass, but Courtney Lee played well for us when he was here. It all depends on the team the 1st round pick is from and how protected it is.

 

Bass = serviceable stretch 4, Lee is a great wing defender and he played very well for us in the past. Throw in the pick and that looks like a good haul IMO

 

I would welcome Courtney Lee's fine ass back. Also, basketball reasons.

 

I like this deal.

 

HELL NO!
Brandon BASS + DWIGHT HOWARD already FAILED IN ORLANDO!

 

We could waive somebody.

 

Me too. Quality backup at the 4 and 5 and quality backup at the 2 and 3.

 

A first rounder would be nice.

Bass is blah, Lee look ok.

Asik drawing a lot of attention (twitter, forums,...)

only the turkish media doesn't report about him. Most turks don't even know that Asik will be traded :grin:

 

Rather have an expiring and some picks. I'm a fan of Lee and Bass but not a fan of their contracts.

 

Bass is a very good defender also

 

Kinda makes sense

Morey gets what he needs

Back up big? Check - Bass
Wing defender with a 3 ball? Check - Lee
First round pick? Check

I'd personally like this to be Hawes, Bradley and 1st round pick

 

Would Bass start or TJones?

 

Asik for a 1st round pick is obvious.
Bass' contract is the right number of years. 2. Not a huge fan, but he can be a rotational player.
Lee - years run 1 year too long so he has to be routed somewhere else.

Most here wanted Hawes+1st. Or Millsap.

Will Bass+1st do? Feels kind of like a let down.

 

Would much rather have Jeff Green and Brandon Bass but Courtney Lee is ok I guess

 

Me too, that would be perfect. I'd even be alright with it without the pick.

Me too. Frankly, people wanting Shumpert should be all over this, as I think CLee is actually a better defender AND had GREAT chemistry with Dwight (is one of his best friends) and is a pure spot up shooter. He is not that great of a shooter unless if he already has his feet set. That is what you want on your team... a lock down defender that can shoot lights out from three. Oh... and the first rd pick is the real prize.
