Sounds like positioning by Portland. They only control LMA through the 2014-2015 trade deadline....then he's a free agent in 2015. Right now they...
Thanks Bima. So we can offer more and he's from here. Hope that can swing it our way.
Makes sense. We can't put the franchise on hold for 3 years waiting for something that has a tiny probability of actually happening. The best...
It didn't work in LA with Dwight plus Gasol (who is a significantly better offensive player than Asik). Even accounting for scheme (which was...
It's another step in the right direction. Ultimately, I want a season pass for streaming directly through the Rockets site. No middle-man...
True. Asik does have his limitations on defense, but they are few and far between. He had trouble with Scola, but how many stretch-5s are we...
I wasn't using "marginal" as a descriptive. I was using it as a mathmatical comparison. Ilyasova and Anderson aren't "marginally better" than...
We will get heavy doses of Howard/Asik and post entry passes for the rest of the preseason. At this point, we know PF is going to be a question...
Our defense collapsed when Asik sat last year, and it will do the same this year when Howard sits if we don't have Asik. The marginal...
Agree that it works better next season, but stars and their agents continue to gain more influence over trade negotiations. The piece I think...
Disagree on a few of your points. I don't see an "imminent" trade. The teams with players we may have an interest in don't have much incentive...
By most definitions he's a SF, though I'll admit that the lines between SF and PF are getting blurred. Most of what he does still fits into the...
Let's look at this by piece: Asik - Legit value here. Hurts to lose him, but what you gain is the best PF in the NBA. DMo - Developmental guy....
After a disaster 1st half from Minnesota (which will probably happen): Rockets In: Kevin Love Rockets Out: Asik, TJones, DMo, 2 #1 picks,...
A 3rd team would need to be involved with Bosh, but if I'm management, I'm more concerned about his contract and future contracts. Bosh is on...
They will figure it out. It isn't a question of skill....it just takes experience and understanding. Asik couldn't do last year what Dwight...
Another good tidbit...Morey said that whoever starts (between Lin and Beverley) is probably going to come down to "fit" and who starts at the 4...
In today's NBA there aren't just 2 parties involved in a trade....there's 3. Team A, Team B, and Star Player A. If Star Player A doesn't want to...
I've always thought that these were two "under discussed" potential landing spots for Asik. Obviously Morey has a very high opinion of Bosh...
Shooting: DMo > TJones Post Scoring: DMo > TJones Rebounding: TJones > DMo Help-Defense: DMo > TJones One-on-One D: TJones > TJones I think...
