    Dude was a double double machine, he deserves to be a starter somewhere.

    I think we all saw this coming. He should command a pretty nice piece because he's young, dependable, good size and a rebounding machine. Centers like that don't become available often.

    They made that up anticipating an impending trade. They just want to milk it.

    To be honest, it didn't matter whether or not Asik was happy or unhappy. Morey wasn't going to be paying him that much to be a backup anyways and was going to trade him once he knew he was getting Howard.

    Asik is paid. Why does he care? He can rest his body by being a legit backup (Gortat) and get another big contract in 2 years.

    I was hoping he would consider this line of thought, but apparently not.

    He has a much better shot at landing a large contract in 2 years without playing alongside Howard.

    I hope a bidding war for Asik erupts and the Rockets clean up.

    I do feel bad for Omer in all of this chaos. He gave Houston everything and for that reason, he'll get substantial minutes no matter where he ends up. Best of luck to Asik in the future, and thanks for a fun year.
