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

Fake.

This is his correct Twitter...

I would say that this situation is much worse than Royce White's because of the huge scale of the deal as opposed to the fact that the Rockets could essentially just pay someone to take Royce White and cut him.

I'm not sure how I would feel about pulling out right now if I'm Morey, but I would seriously consider it if the deals are really that bad, and at the very least inform Arm and Omer that these deals are potentially damaging to the franchise, and there is a good possibility that I will not and SHOULD NOT do anything damaging to the organization, and that takes precedent over your feelings.

Then see what they come back to you with. They might come back with one of a few things-

-F-You, we will ruin you if you dont trade me
-We understand, and we will play
-Let me make a few phone calls, and see if I can get a better deal lined up. Me and Dolan are good friends from way back, etc. etc.

Either way, its a conversation Morey should be willing to have with Omer and Arm at this point if the deals are that bad to where they will hurt the team moving forward.

 

I love it how the guy has "My life is basketball, boreks, and babes" for description.. :grin:

 

Fake

Asik rarely goes on twitter. I doubt he knows how to use it.

 

This makes me feel like Morey is trying to either unload a contract he has on the team (Lin) or he's targeting a bigger fish at the February deadline.

 

Related... unrelated? Not sure.

The reason I like this video... is because of the description.

Thaddeus Young approached Jan Vesely after the game and shook his hand.

"Good game, yo. But I gots somethin' more important to talk about. Word around the locker room is you a bona-fide foodie. Can you hook me up with a good cheesesteak in DC?"

Jan nodded eagerly. "Yes. I know all of the best cheesesteak in the area. I tell you friend, DC could be consider a cheesesteak Mecca."

Thaddeus rolled his eyes. "Yeah. Just point me in the right direction, and do it quick, because I'm always hungrier after dropping 29 on some poor fools."

Jan nodded again. He never seemed to stop nodding. "Of course. Best cheesesteak in DC you can find at La Ville Paris. It's downtown by theater. All politicians love it." To emphasize his point, he kissed his fingers in the universal symbol of "deliciousness".

"Cool, I'll check it out. You a true bro."
----------------------------------------*-

"Man, this place looks kinda fancy..." Thaddeus thought to himself as he stepped out of his taxi. "But Jan would never lead me astray," he reminded himself as he walked in the door.

"Reservation?" asked the hostess.

"Uh...no."

"Very well sir. Right this way, please," she said. The hostess led him to a small table with a myriad of silverware upon it. "Pierre will be right with you."

Thaddeus squeezed himself into the tiny chair. Other diners were looking at him with interest. He began to feel self-conscious in his sweatpants and t-shirt, so he occupied himself with his phone to avoid their gaze.

Soon, his waiter arrived at the table. "Good evening. My name is Pierre and I will be assisting you tonight," the waiter sneered, talking with a very heavy French accent. "Tonight's wine special is a fantastic dry Riesling from the hills of Toulouse. And the chef's selection is a finely-crafted escargot plate, served with a fig-almond reduction and-"

Thaddeus stopped the waiter in mid-sentence. "Yeah, that's cool and all, but just get me a cheesesteak. Actually, two. And a Pepsi."

With an affronted look, Pierre wrote down the basketball player's order. "Excellent choices, sir."

After forty-five minutes, Thaddeus was getting antsy. He had finished his Pepsi thirty minutes ago. Everybody else had bottles of wine and just looking at them made him jealous and thirsty. While his waiter tended to an adjacent table, Thaddeus cut in, "Yo Pierre, when my food gettin' here? And can I get a refill on my soda?"

Pierre turned around to glare at Thaddeus. "Your food will be ready shortly, sir."

True to his word, Pierre soon brought out the cheesesteak, as well as a topped-off glass of Pepsi. "Enjoy your meal."

Thaddeus stared in disbelief at the abomination before him. Five miniscule strips of steak were arrayed neatly across the plate, topped with what appeared to be some kind of stinky French cheese. On the side was a small ciabatta roll and a garnish of roasted red peppers. After carefully scraping off the cheese with his knife, Thaddeus picked up a piece of steak in his fingers and dropped it into his mouth.

He spit it out immediately; it was completely uncooked. Bubbling with rage, he left his food uneaten and sought out Pierre, who was waiting on a table across the restaurant.

Pierre noticed his approach and turned to face him. "Can I help you with something, sir?"

Thaddeus nodded. "Yeah. That crap you gave me ain't no cheesesteak. It was an insult. You have angered the king of Cheesesteakia."

"Sir, what you were served is an example of the finest French cuisine, and-"

Pierre's words came to an abrupt end when Thaddeus crushed the Frenchman's pointy jaw with his fist, knocking Pierre to the floor, out cold. "Boom. Headshot."

Fixed?

 

Fake?

 

I hope we don't do the trade until tommorow just to tick him off.

 

Yes dude. The fake account has been posted here many times.

 

yes..fake.

 

i think there could be a lot more to the Bobcats' chatter. If they truly are trying to make the playoffs this year, a front court of Jefferson (4) and Asik (5) would be pretty damn awesome. They complement each other's strengths very well. Not much spacing, but Jefferson's offense and Asik's defense make for a nice combo up front.

JVG said Bobcats are trying harder than a lot of teams in the East and making playoffs would reward a "beaten-down" fan base.

 

Hope this gets sorted today. Getting tired of hitting refresh... =P

 

Are we 100% sure that it's a fake account? LOL.

I'm going down to the gym and then eating lunch. Please end this by the time I'm back to my office.

 

WTF did I just read LOL

 

He exaggerated a bit, but you're taking it too far the other way lol. You can't really gauge Asik by his play THIS season for obvious reasons. He's barely played, had inconsistent minutes, etc. His PER wasn't that hot while he was coming off the bench for the Bulls...but we all saw how well he did as a starter in HTown. And let's be honest, almost no GM is judging Asik by THIS season so far when they consider if they want him or not. To say otherwise would just be telling me you're delusional.

And yes, Asik is a great defensive center, though I do think him saying top 3 was a stretch. I'd take Hibbert, Dwight and Gasol over him easily, and that's just off the top of my head. But he's way cheaper than the aforementioned.

I don't know about Asik being one of the quickest centers in the league...haven't seen anything that suggests that, but I agree that he is not an 'offensive liability'. You don't have to feed Asik like you do Dwight. He gets the ball (when he catches it haha) and finishes. Runs great picks. I mean, offensive liabilities don't tend to be nearly top 10 in FG% (last season) while averaging a double double. Don't forget he was also #3 in the league at rebounding...

 

Rockets don't have to trade now, it's probably posturing but still, hopefully Morey is really prepared to shut down all trade talks and start again since this is now just for guys they can re-package in February.

 

You're telling me a Turk that can hardly speak English doesn't know what D-Day means?

 

Let's not lose sight of the ultimate goal here, folks.
