    no hookshot, no hands, no service.


    kidding aside, picking up asik makes them playoff bound if they can stay healthy.

    He and Davis are going to be a nightmare for opposing frontcourts. They're easily the best PF/C duo on the defensive end.

    I wish him luck. Would of loved if he would of embraced a supporting role for the Rockets, but he has the heart of a starter.

    That's for damn sure. They have a better overall team than us as well.

    Or they could at least make a push.

    But another big mistake by Morey trading Asik to N.O. Davis and Asik is a T.T. lineup that will work. Only a matter of time before Davis is the best power forward in the game. That will be a vicious front court defensively.

    That New Orleans 1st round pick may not be as valuable as we may think.

    umm, Jrue Holiday can't even get the ball past half-court vs Beverley. And Evans' stats actually have negative value on his teams; that's why he no longer in Sacramento.

    If neither of Harden or Howard are hurt we finish comfortably ahead of NOP in the standings.

    Asik makes their frontcourt pretty damn good now. Wonder if he will resign there.

    It'll be fun to watch us playing them, overplaying Davis and forcing the ball to be thrown to Asik down low. fumble fumble fumble and then go up against Dwight.

    Jrue Holiday
    Eric Gordon
    Evans
    Davis
    Asik

    with Anderson, Salmons, Rivers off the bench is better than

    Bev
    Harden
    Ariza
    Jones
    Howard

    and whatever combo of D-league fodder, 2nd round pickups, international "studs" you want to put together.

    Asik will be good with Davis at the PF. That's a very good defensive front line and strong rebounding as well.
