Omer Asik for Ryan Anderson trade being discussed

i dunno much about him other than he can . but can he rebound? last season he played 81 games and 30mpg, only 6.4rbs, this while on a lottery team. i dont want another team where the center rebounds and everyone else "chips in". the pf has to pull in at least 7-8.

and trading asik for him alone is wack. get back less value in return

 

I want a unprotected first too

 

I do know Anderson was one of Howards fav players on the Magic.

 

Would rather have smith even though Anderson is great shooter

 

1st of all he will not be there to clog the lane.

2nd, he is underrated rebounder, have you watched his games?

 

Something worth noting is that Houston can do Asik-Ryan Anderson straight up, and can keep Jeremy Lin. I think I'd prefer that to trading possibly both for Josh Smith, who isn't a good fit offensively next to Dwight anyways.

 

morey will never settle for 60c to the dollar.. in morey america/australia trusts

 

Seriously, I'd want multiple picks in the deal.

 

DUDE LETS TRADE FOR PPAT!!! haha

 

16 points his last year on the Magic.

Agree with this. You do want some great defenders surrounding Howard. Too much issues with foul trouble and overwork on D. Josh Smith is that guy.

I'd much rather count on Josh Smith developing a decent corner 3 than I do with Ryan Anderson learning to play proper defense.

 

Would hit.

 

In bench minutes it's decent. Anderson's a better version of Carl's boyfriend ppat.

 

Teams are lusting over Asik but the Rockets need to shed Lin's contract too if they are to sign their drafted players and a vet swingman.

 

boooooooooooooooooooooooo

hope this is leverage to get Smith from Atlanta.

 

Yea, def better deal than Smith...opens up the 4, playing it between the 3-4 perfect Howard fit

 

i called this in a few other threads! wee!

 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but he's making about half of what we'd end up paying Smith, right? That has to count for something.

I think he'd be a decent addition if we're losing Asik anyway, and we do still have to build a bench.

 

Did Dwight like him in Orlando?

Me too
