Yeah,it's really a shame he is a Great PF (basically a smaller Version of Marc Gasol) and he Said he would like to Play next to Asik. Anyway,get it done Murray!!!:grin:
Morey is now gonna get his full worth from Atlanta on any deal. Asik with Horford would ve tremendously allowed Horford to focus on scoring, and Asik is a terrific/smart defender in the post. Forcing Horford to play center really has hurt Atlanta...This is the second pectoral injury he's had..dont know how he is gonna recover from this by this year...
Morey is gonna tear Atlanta a new one. This year with the East being historically bad, the Hawks will have chance to make some noise in the playoff more so than any other year. They are in a dire position to maintain their standing right now, and Asik is perfect for them.
Hawks arent stupid enough to trade for a big guy with an unresolved leg issue are they? You can come back strong with a pectoral tear. Leg injuries to big guys can end their career.
If I were Danny Ferry, the first thing I'd do is to remind myself and everyone in the management not to make a panic trade. Maybe nothing has changed in the big picture. This team isn't likely to be a contender this year even with Horford and is good enough to at maybe make the playoffs even without him. Maybe just play the string out and see what happens.
Nikola Pekovic had a Pec muscle tear last season (No pun intended). It seems to happen a lot to Centers and big men who rebound a lot.
I wonder if the doctor said the same thing when he told Nikola the bad news. "No pun intended, Mr. Pekovic, but you just tore your pec muscle." "Really, doctor? How fitting!"
James had the same thing happened to him. Doctor told him after the big bottom adventure. "no pun intended. I think you tore your harden muscle"
Blame the management of Hawks for being reluctant to get a true big C to play with Horford! Anyway, get well soon!
Are there more examples of it? I'd hardly say that two players going down with the injury condemns all rebounding bigmen
Miami must be partying it up right now. They can now rest the Big 3 almost full time and still get the #2 seed, probably.
I have medicine for Asik that would work immediately! He just need to move from Houston and he's healthy!
