NittanyBuc 757 Report post Posted July 1, 2012 He's also a very good defensive player. I know, I just don't think that warrants around $8M annually. Strikeout on Dwight so you throw a bunch of cash at Asik? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sure he's a headcase, but if we trade for him he might actually want to be here, unlike Howard. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SATOLS 7 Report post Posted July 2, 2012 You think Asik could be used as a piece for them getting Howard? Wouldn't be able to trade him until December. Not sure if Base Year Compensation is still an issue in the new CBA, but if it is, the Rockets wouldn't be able to get much value back for him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bauncey Chillups 288 Report post Posted July 2, 2012 Asik is great on D but is terrible on offense and has no upside on that end of the floor because he doesn't know how to catch a basketball Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NittanyBuc 757 Report post Posted July 2, 2012 Steve Kyler@stevekylerNBA Omer Asik is in the same board as Jeremy Lin... the first year of the deal would be $5 million, the second year would be nominally more (cont'd) Its year three of the Asik deal that gets silly and worth roughly $15 million... Expand Reply Retweet Favorite A little screwier than I had originally anticipated... EDIT: Here's Hollinger's info... John Hollinger@johnhollinger By my reading, most Asik can get on 3-year deal is $23.1M. Breaks out 5.0 yr 1, 5.2 yr 2, 12.9 yr 3.

SATOLS 7 Report post Posted July 2, 2012 Sure he's a headcase, but if we trade for him he might actually want to be here, unlike Howard. And if he doesn't work out and the Magic don't want to sign him to an extension, then you still get the cap space. I still think it would be difficult to pry him away from L.A. Jim Buss loves Bynum. He was his first find, and he is proud of him. But the Magic might not be talking to the Lakers about Bynum. However, if the Magic do want to hire Brian Shaw, he used to work with Bynum when he was PJ's assistant. And Bynum was very unhappy when he wasn't named head coach.

My 6th Rebuild 6 Report post Posted July 2, 2012 Trading D12 worries me because we could end up like the Hawks and and getting wacked every hear in the playoffs. I don't want that. I want to rebuild now. Let him sit out a year and sign where ever he wants next summer. I want to suck now and get it over with. If Hennigan is as good as we all hope he is and seems to be we will be contending in no time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A Better DJ & Photographer 456 Report post Posted July 2, 2012 Even though Houston and Asik agreed to a deal it's not done until signed... might be posturing for a Dwight trade? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SATOLS 7 Report post Posted July 2, 2012 So, this is how Brooklyn negotiates a trade. It becomes public that the Hawks and Nets are talking about a deal for Joe Johnson. But now there is reportedly a snag. David Aldridge said tonight on TV that the snag is Brookyn does not want to give up any of its young talent (Brooks et. al). So, they want to do a deal trading unrestricted free agents Gerald Green and Kris Humphries to Atlanta for Johnson. Add that to the fact that they want the Magic to give them Dwight for nothing (and that there are questions about how they started talking with him to begin with before the season), and you can see how they work. I guess they figure they just always get things their way and that's that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
