Asik to be traded by next Weds/Thurs

[tomtucker]

nothing is happeing...........

[ChuckOakley]

Atlanta - Milsap
Boston - Bass + Lee + LAC #1
Cleveland - AV
Denver - Hickson + Mozgov
Miami - Haslem + Anthony + PHI#1
NOP - R.Anderson
Phoenix - Frye + Kravtsov
Sacramento - JT + Next available #1
SAS - Bonner + Green

All seem to make some sense for both sides.

[TMT]

He's going to Miami.

Yeah, with what money? They would have to trade a bigger contract like Bosh to make the salaries match, no?

Haslem could be a nice compliment to Dwight, they can add Anthony for filler and they have Philly's #1 along with some future picks they could send.

Chalmers / Cole
Wade / Allen
LBJ / Battier
Bosh / Beasley
Asik / Andersen

Damn!

I would like for the Hawks to keep Milsap.
Next summer we will have enough cap space to sign a max level player (and can create even more by moving smaller contracts like Louis Williams or DeMarre Carroll - another 7.5 million if both are moved).
The Hawks will have Nogueira coming over and we have the Nets first round pick, which hopefully will be high in the draft.

So if the Hawks got Julius Randle to go with Horford, Millsap and Nogueira, our frontcourt would be really solid.

The Nets will still probably win the Atlantic (1 game back of thus the 4 seed and starting to get healthy). I think you're expectations are way high. 15-19 for that pick is my guess.

Andy has an underrated midrange game. His 15 to 17-footers have been pretty money the last couple seasons. He's one of the best P&R defenders in the league and has been for years. He shows hard and gets back. Also, he's an elite rebounder... maybe the best pure offensive rebounder in the NBA.

He's a guy you just love having on your team. It would be a sad day for the Cavs if the trade happened. Not that Asik isn't a nice player, but Andy is pretty beloved in Cleveland.

It would make sense for the Cavs because Asik is only 27.

Plus, Tristan is able to do a lot of things Andy does, so it would enable him to step into a larger role.

I have mixed feelings about this, though it would probably be the right longterm move for the Cavs.

Pretty much what I was going to say. I have not seen a lot of Asik since he came to Houston but I loved him in Chicago. I would hate to see Andy go but they all have to some time. Houston fans, you would love him on your team. He plays with more heart defensively than anyone I have seen in the league since Rodman.

Toronto send Amir Johnson and Steve Novak for Omer Asik.

[longtime lurker]

Send him to Lakers for Gasol

[GOBB]

Sixers: Thomas Robinson and Meyers Leonard
Houston: Thaddeus Young
Portland: Omer Asik

Trade works. satisfies everyone.

[Meticode]

So Asik get's traded to Cavs only to come off the bench again behind Bynum?

I'm sure he'd love that.

I don't ike the trade for two reasons...

Asik's bloated contract for what he does, and he quit on the Rockets. Dude, you're getting paid $15 million here coming up, accept your role and be good at it.

[Solefade]

I've been saying this for a long time but Rockets NEED Ryan Anderson to go to that next level

OKC trade:

Lamb
Perkins
Dallas pick

Receive:

Asik

Does this make OKC better? I'm not sure, Lamb has been offering that vital bench scoring OKC need lately.. I'm finding it harder to see OKC trading him off.

[NumberSix]

We'll give them Joel Anthony, James Jones, and MAYBE even UD.

So you are trading back Lamb? Then making Houston eat Perkins deal?

Stick to the Blazers my man.

It makes OKC better defensively and the glass.
