    it's just out of context. Asik never meant that about wanting a trade.

    with the way Demo is entertaining the gladiator's arena, i start missing asik less and less. would be nice to have him.

    Yeah, it's been about 2 months. According to ESPN's stats, he did play in one game in December, but that's it. 17 games for the entire year thus far(we've played 48 total).

    Last I heard, they were about to announce a timetable for his return. Since then, they haven't said a word though. I wouldn't be surprised to see him miss the rest of the season with his "injury" if the Rockets aren't able to trade him in the next 3 weeks.

    As the trade deadline gets close, smoke will most definitely rise. With Lin playing his way to bigger trade bait and asik close to healthy. We should hear the quote on quote experts starting fire. The last I heard was things are about to start rolling prob around all-star weekend. I'm just ready to move on. In DM we trust

    We realize you're not positive on things, but if you had to guesstimate, what percentage would you say this Asik/Lin for Rondo likely happens? I have a feeling Danny would try to get TJ thrown in while adding Bass.

    65% maybe closer to 70%. I think DM is really really focused on NOW. Why wait till 2015? When Kevin love could be in LA or god forbid injuries to one of our stars. To win is to win now man. And we obviously are 1 star pg away. TJ will not be traded is what I heard from my old man. Ughhh I hate these types of things lmao. Wish this was coming from docRocket instead tbh

    Tbh I personally wouldn't care if we got rondo, I'm just fed up with this whole situation and the CSN crap. Other than that this season has been entertaining

    Well, you seemed to have some decent stuff on the Dwight thing.... 65-70% if pretty confident.

    What's you're predicted deal?

    Appreciate you sharing.

    Your dad works for one of the news stations correct? I remember you posting a bit in the Dwight thread.


    Rondo would be an interesting get for sure.

    Your confidence, Morey's "no comment" and Ainge's comments (link below) make me somewhat believe it could actually happen...

    There's always the off chance that he could actually be really injured, or worse, seriously ill. Has he been on the bench lately?

    I seem to be one of the only ones who hasn't made their mind up about whether or not Asik isn't ACTUALLY injured and this continual setback to swelling is legitimate and unpredictable.

    He's been on the bench for the last couple of home games. Usually shows up sometime around Q3.

    If he's seriously ill, we'd have heard about it. Like when Lowry had a serious bacteria infection that held him out about 20 games.

    Asik would not be sitting out if he was the starting center, thigh bruise or not.
