    We will work with Chicago to do a win-win scenario with them.
    It is well known that they have been coveting several players from our camp.

    I really think a Martin + Jones for Noah would be great!

    Why does everyone keep bringing up Noah? If they didn't want to include him in a deal for Dwight Howard, I don't think he is coming to Houston.

    Noah's mobility and spacing is huge to the Bulls success.. Don't see them moving him.

    I'd be okay with $8mil/yr. Asik has very high floor. Even if he doesn't develop, you can imagine him as that all-D center on a contender like Big Ben or Tyson Chandler. There's a lot a team can do if they can get that elite rim protector.

    That said, I have a lot of questions regardin Asik, especially his health and his stamina. If his problems in those regards are not big, then signing him to an offer sheet seems like a no-brainer.

    Depends on the $$$

    Rockets need a center

    Asik is serviceable... Not exactly what I want or was hoping for but if the price is right I won't be upset.

    He has shown flashes of good center skills.

    Just not the rare athlete plus center skills I was wanting and hoping for.

    Better than Dalembert though. I'll say that.

    Morey needs to come up with some new recruiting tactics. Hell, talk to Kelvin Sampson, he should know some, ha.

    to the casual fan but not to our GM. HAve you seen the FA center options lately? notice all are resticted and ASIK is the third best on the list . He plays D and rebounds which is our team biggest need. YOu guys think anyone that isnt a scorer is overrated smh. Same way people call rondo overrated because he cant shoot jumpers

    Depressing. Getting capped out for slightly better than average players is an obvious mistake.
