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

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>But I must note that Rockets' GM Daryl Morey always makes a deadline trade and we still have three hours left until trade season is over</p>&mdash; Marc Stein (@ESPNSteinLine) <a href="https://twitter.com/ESPNSteinLine/statuses/436545120347762688">February 20, 2014</a></blockquote>

"Rockets leaning towards keeping Omer BUT YOU NEVER KNOW WITH MOREY."

Perfect example of how poor sports journalism has become. Leak news saying that Rockets will likely keep Asik but make another tweet saying Morey "always makes moves". This way Stein looks right either way and he builds credibility.

Shameful.

 

that $15M baloon payment

Amico = trash

 

Omer said he is not feeling well

 

Asik you better work your ass off. You now know morey isn't taking pennies on the dollar. It's up to you to pump your trade value up for the offseason

 

Asik, no better place to increase your value than a playoff run!

 

48 minutes of rim protection will be cool. Really cool.

 

Last night was his best game yet since his 30 game hiatus from what I saw.

I guess tonight, we see if that was a pre-deadline performance or not.

 

While I agree with you, the Lakers were EXCEPTIONALLY bad last night at pretty much all facets of the game. In fact, Omer was terrible when it came to finishing around the rim. He needs to get back to his form from last season if he wants GMs from other teams to buy back into him.

 

While his box score was better, what I saw that I really liked was some motor.

I agree his form needs work. Still shaking the rust off I suspect.

found this on celtics blog, supposedly sullingers father has said his son will play PF next yr (no more center) and Danny's main goal in off season is to get a rim protector at center.

they based this article on asik coming over basically. Seems like if we just want to clear cap. They want to trade bogans ($5.3 team option contract) for asik.

 

They still have that 10 million trade exception, right?

But why would the Celtics do this? They most certainly want Asik, but Lin's contract is toxic. Would Morey have to sweeten the pot? If so, how much?

 

Lin and Asik for Bogans and the TPE. Done and Done.

 

They do this to get asik, moving Lin would be a different story

 

Now we know why Daryl "I Bleed Celtic Green" Morey won't put Kevin "I Bleed Celtic Green" McHale in the s***-can, lest he offend Danny "I Am Celtic Green" Ainge.

"Objection!" from many posters.

"Withdrawn, your Honor," from me.

But in truth, makes sense, this trade idea. IF we get that late teens draft pick that Boston has. And we give them some money to grease Asik's contract.

 

Guys, get real here. Do you really think Morey is going to give Asik away? Because that's what Bogans would be.

A trade with Boston would go something like this:

Asik/Lin/Jones for

Rondo/Bogans/parts. But that trade would likely be merged into a 3 or 4 team deal. We most likely don't want Rondo to keep. And we're simply not going to give Asik away for cap space and a non-guaranteed contract.

 

I agree it won't be for nothing, but don't start with your overly-lopsided ridiculous trade ideas. (Please.)

Like Lin for Butler? As if Milwaukee wanted to take on Lin's ridiculous contract to sell tickets to all their Chinese fan base? All two of them?

Morey clung tenaciously to Asik before. Where did that get him?

 

Rockets may not have time to be PICKY, if a free agent wants to come here and they see an opportunity to move asik or Lin without giving up anything I'm sure they will do it ASAP. Especially asik if it's a eastern conference team. Even tho asik is solid he still has a ballon contract & is a liability on offense.

Tjones/Lin/asik for rondo would never happen. they're trying to start sullinger at PF if you read the article. They will only want starters and picks for rondo
