Omer Asik closer to getting traded.

[RightToCensor]

Houston Rockets coach Kevin McHale is hopeful that center Omer Asik, who has missed two months as he recovers from a right thigh/knee issue, will be ready to return to full practices and maybe game action in seven to 10 days.

"Everything is not a definite," McHale told the Houston Chronicle on Tuesday. "We're 'hoping for' is what I'm getting. We really need Greg Smith or Omer to get back. They're starting to do a little bit more. Both have been without a basketball in their hand, actual live playing for so long."

Asik suffered the injury about the same time he was removed from the starting lineup and let it be known he wasn't happy.

Asik has wanted to be traded since Dwight Howard signed in July, but his contract, which includes a $15 million balloon payment next season, is a bit of a stumbling-block for most teams.

The NBA trade deadline is Feb. 20.

Asik for Okafor?

[dunksby]

Perk for Asik straight up!

[oarabbus]

Perk for Asik straight up!

Whoa, that's intriguing. At first I was like you'd be laughed out of MIN but they really need a defensive rim protector. BADLY.

[Mr Exlax]

He said Perk not Pek.

[Marlo_Stanfield]

HEAT should trade Bosh for Asik and Lin and maybe Dmo if Houston is dumb enough.
6 PEAT make it happen Pat:eek:

[Smook A.]

His trade value has gone down so much

[Mr Exlax]

I can't lie, I fugging need him or Smith back. I have no bench on 2k14 right now.

[rhowen4]

Is he good? Can MIA get him?

[oarabbus]

He said Perk not Pek.
:facepalm my b

In that case doesn't make sense, don't understand why HOU would want Perkins

[RightToCensor]

Battier + Oden or Birdman

[MP.Trey]

Damn making some progress, I see. :applause:

Maybe Morey can ship him in time for his Dec. 20 deadline he set.

[hahaitme]

Battier + Oden or Birdman

Can't see Pat giving up Battier or Birdman.

[TMT]

Battier + Oden or Birdman

That wouldn't work... Not even the three of them combined equal Asik's salary.

[kurple]

Asik for IlyaGOATva :confusedshrug:
why would the bucks need Asik?

you got sanders and henson.

[Smook A.]

why would the bucks need Asik?

you got sanders and henson.
From what I heard, the Buck might trade Sanders because he hasn't been playing well

[TMT]

Only idea that makes sense for far in this thread is Asik for Okafor.

[KyrieTheFuture]

Asik for Varejao

[RightToCensor]

Hill + Kaman for Asik

[oarabbus]

That wouldn't work... Not even the three of them combined equal Asik's salary.


:roll: :roll:

Morey's Patented Poison Pill :lol :lol :lol

[Smook A.]

I wouldn't mind getting Trevor Ariza and/or Spencer Hawes

[RightToCensor]

Our offense is fine, we just need to improve on defense.

[finchyyy]

Doesn't really have as much value as before. Who could the Rockets get for him, realistically?

[JohnFreeman]

Mclemore + Thornton for Asik

[R.I.P.]

Another shpocker out of Houston. Houston wants to trade player, trade deadline looming, Houston claims peak health for player.

[hahaitme]

Heat could really use him. Not really sure what Heat would be willing to trade though.

Mclemore + Thornton for Asik
BwahahahahahahahahahahahahhaH


Hahahahahahahahahahahhahahahah

Pftbwahahahahahahahhahahahahahhah

























No.

[JohnFreeman]

BwahahahahahahahahahahahahhaH


Hahahahahahahahahahahhahahahah

Pftbwahahahahahahahhahahahahahhah

























No.

I don't blame Asik for not playing. Imagine playing with Harden and Howard, lazy clowns.

[HiphopRelated]

We'll give you Tony Douglas, James Jones, Roger Mason.
Not for 15 million

Mclemore + Thornton for Asik

Come on Pat Riley... you already missed out on Bynum... don't let Asik go to another team.

[TMT]

Come on Pat Riley... you already missed out on Bynum... don't let Asik go to another team.

They can't afford him unless giving up Bosh, or about a minimum of 4 of their role player assets. People who root for the Heat here really don't understand the salary cap.

They would probably have to give up James Jones, Mason jr and Haslem

Riley has a blank check going into next season, you think he wants 15 million dollars of Omer Asik anywhere near his salary cap?

[NumberSix]

Battier + Oden or Birdman

We're not giving up champions for a crybaby who won't even play if he doesn't get his way

I know, the trade proposal was a long shot.

Asik isn't really championship material. I'd like to see him shipped off to LA so he can have the least chance to win a championship. Him staying in Houston or going to Miami is just gifting the bitch a ring.

[I<3NBA]

Is he good? Can MIA get him?
he is good. and no, Miami cannot get him.
