I don't really care for Hoopsworld but this kid has been on the spot on a few things in the past. I don't know what Houston would want from the Bulls though...
But I wonder if Asik is all that. I have to admit I have not seen the kid play. Is he a shotblocker? If the rockets give up Lee, I would think they would want alot more than Asik, but who knows.
Admit his mistake on Courtney Lee. Omar Asik is a throw away player for depth. Tells me how that trade with Ariza worked out. By all means do it Rick. Its a 7ft center. I guess.
Cheezey, who know with Adelman. It seems as if Morey and Adelman both want to make the playoffs this season, so I personally don't see Williams getting any clock unless they pull the plug on the season and play their youth. I would really like to see Williams play as he looks to be a natural playmaker.

I don't think that Lee-Asik is fair value. Perhaps something like CLee and JHill for Asik & Taj Gibson? I think Taj > Jordan, so it might help even out things?
This is assuming, of course, that if we're interested in Asik, it would be just Lee for Asik. Doubt it.
Asik is not a big name, by any means, but the guy is SOLID. He destroyed the Jazz frontline last night and has gotten better as the season has gone along. He could become a solid STARTING NBA center over the next few years and could be a big factor down the stretch this season. That being said, Lee is a starting caliber SG and it will take more the Asik to make the move. I think a 1st rd pick has to be included or a third team to get a bit more value. When Adelman gives Lee serious minutes, the dude produces and would be beyond IDEAL for the Bulls. I do think he ends up with the Bulls at the deadline but it will take more then just Asik.
What? Certainly they'll never consider this. I mean...they told us they had their eyes on Lee for a long, long time. He's the player they really wanted. You don't think that was a fib, do you?
my fear with this trade is that AB will play at SG for a longer time..Twill?! I don't think he'll get any time with Rick as coach...what I'm hatin about now is that the love they are givin to AB...that he won't be traded or blah blah blah..
