Asik takes part in shootaround. McHale expects him back in 7-10 days

It's good to see him back on practice.

 

Omer "Six Fouls" Asik.

 

so obvious. anyone buying that asik is injured is just being naive.

 

Wow so this dude really is a p****y. Screw it, trade him for Brook Lopez and sign someone off the street like Diop just for defense and next season go back to back with Lopez at the 4 spot

 

Lol! He will be mad at Parsons.

 

Trade Asik + Brewer for backup center and a defino like player + pick.

or

keep asik....
we could be a serious contender with him.

 

he would be the difference in holding down the Grizzlies and OKC come playoffs so i think Asik is essential.

 

Anyone else get the feeling that Parsons doesn't really like Asik?

 

Translation: Asik expected to be traded in 7-10 days.

 

Mind to elaborate?

 

Stupid trade if not recieving a center in return

 

Lopez out for season with major injury and makes more than Asik with longer contract.......

 

Well he did call Asik out for being unprofessional the first time he refused to play.

 

Could be. He is angry that he works hard for his 900k while Asik doesn't work hard for his $25 million

 

Better to have a bird in the hand, then two in a bush....

In this case..

Better to have a player on the bench that wants to play than a big baby sitting at home on his couch...

Basically, not getting anything from Asik at this point anyway..

T_Man

 

Would you like Asik if he were your teammate?
