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

Its not that old, just a day old pimpn. And they are reporting what they heard. They didnt report any other rumor that was out there. But we all will see what it do sometime today.

 

Tomorrow night, 10:59PM CST.

 

And I would agree with him. But if that is the case then gather assets to flip for the missing pieces should be the main issue of this trade. Bass, Lee and the Clipper's 2015 pick have no real value and only mess up cap space for the longshot FA.

 

I agree. I think we overvalue all our players and Morey does this as well. Something tells me all these Asik rumors were manufactured by the Rockets to draw interest. But the reality is not many teams are giving up a star player for Omer.

 

Well today is the day

My guess is Milsap

 

I have mixed feelings about this. Asik has a lot of value in terms of defense which a lot of teams lack in the NBA. The problem I'm seeing just based on media reports is teams know Houston has to make a deal. I think if Morey can shed Asik's contract, pick up some additional solid front court help, and a draft pick is a positive. Asik hasn't done anything for this team all year.

 

The ROckets have never been known in the past to let things leak.

Thats actually one of their better attributes....most of the stuff that is out is coming from Boston sources(notice most of the updates that are out there is based off the various Boston Globe articles). Its either that or Asik's agent.

I would put money on the leaks not coming from this end.


oh, and btw guys.

Quit being douches to Mugsy, I havent seen anything he has said that warrants the crap some of yall are giving him. His opinion is just as valid as yalls, if not moreso because at least mugsy has been actually watching the players yall are talking about while most of yall are going off stats and assumptions from limited viewing of the Celtics....really, when was the last time most of yall even watched the Celtics?

 

So Mugsy says Lee and Bass are solid that should be true.
For real....those names are underwhelming as heck but still solidifying our bench

 

Morey is going to make the trade tomorrow since the nba told him he has until the 20th morey will use every last second I hope not because I'm off today and work tomorrow but it's my gut feeling

 

I can't believe how much Omer was smiling last night. I don't believe he became this way overnight by himself. Either his girlfriend (who wants him to be a starter so he can get a bigger contract) and/or his agent told him to do this. His girl:

Spoiler

Oh, and get the **** out of Lin's ear bro!

 

Underwhelming indeed. Solidifying our bench, not so much. I mean, we are losing Asik.

 

This is very true. If we can't get a big name (Millsap seems like the biggest name we have a possible chance at) then I'm ok with this trade. Keep Tjones as a starter at the 4 and have these new additions coming off the bench to give us some punch.

 

We know Lee's ceiling from his time here in Houston. Bass has been in the league for 8 years (2 of which he spent in Dallas). We know their games. We don't need some Boston fan to come in here and say he doesn't want Asik, Morey thinks he's Shaq while trying to sell how great Brandon Bass and Courtney Lee are. His motives are obvious.

 

Asik is a starter but not this season. He has been an underwhelming bench player but on this team he has no place among starters so there goes his value. Can't fault the market. Asik brought it to himself and he is being shipped to a lesser team.

 

That, plus there are so many more guards on Earth that it's easy to get beat out by one if you slip even a little bit.

Not many 7-footers, so you can last longer.

 

If we wanted to trade Lee today it would cost the Rockets a pick and some cash to get rid of his contract. If we wanted to trade Bass today it would cost the Rockets a pick. We are only receiving one late pick, but we're giving up the 3rd best defensive center and second best rebounder in the league.

Lee's salary
2014 - $5,225,000
2015 - $5,450,000
2016 - $5,675,000

Bass' salary:
2014 - $6,750,000
2015 - $6,950,000

 

We went from talking about Lamarcus Aldridge, Kevin Love, and Ryan Anderson as possible targets for Asik centered trade packages to Bass, CLee, Hawes, and Thad.... Oh how the mighty trade hypothesis has fallen

 

i thnk you mean your wish is milsap

 

Wow, you really thought we could get Love, or Aldridge? Those posters are annoying.

 

No, I didnt think that we could get those players, especially with the current success of those team. I did heard plenty of others talk about those trade possibilities though.
