Asik is good, but it seems like not many teams want to commit to him as a defensive centerpiece, which is what his contract would imply.

^^^This.

Also no reason for asik to play as others have said he will get paid anyway and moved in due time. Likely in the offseason as part of another trade.

If he gets injured now the odds of him being moved go down slightly and with that the liklihood of his next big contract. On top of that fuck the Rockets for bringing him over and then getting dwight.

 

[Smokey]

Morey not gonna make a trade just to make one.

EAD Asik

 

[Matrix]

lol

That pic of Asik smiling was from last nights game. The bottom pic is how he's looked all season long.

 

[Tom Penny]

Exactly.

If he wanted out so bad he should have sucked it up, suited up and played his ass off for every game. He didn't help his trade value out at all.

Raise his value from top 5 defensive Center with no offensive skills to top 5 defensive Center with no offensive skills? He is what he is. He can't do anything to raise his value.

 

[AlphaSnake]

I'll give away Pasta, Shumpert, and Felton for Asik and Lin.

That has a lot of value. A guy who is a diva and will complain about everything while being a cancer in the locker room has less value.

 

[Branduil]

Plenty of teams want Asik, just not for Houston's ridiculous asking price.

 

[obijkenobi]

Is this what happens when you have one professional team in the city?

I wouldn't make that comment about the Spurs until the last month of the season so.....

What happened?

I had a pretty big sseizure on the bus on the way to work a few days before thanksgiving. I hit my head on the way down and have an animeish scar above my right eyebrow. I got lucky I didn't have a concussion or worse. I have epilepsy so it's not the first time I have had a seizure but I have nnever had one in public like that

 

[Zeus Molecules]

He is just sitting on the bench and mean mugging last I heard.... He's not shitting in peoples shoes and trying to orchestrate Mexican standoffs. Trust me he's good and he'll get moved in the offseason as a kicker/side deal for somebody else. This is how these things go.

He wants to go to another team...not sure how that makes the other team not want him unless their plan is to immediately bring in another Center and make him a backup..then yep..he's a disgruntled cancer.

So we r both on clutchfans lul

 

[SamuraiX-]

I still remember when I first saw Asik in the 2010 FIBA World Championship. Motherfucker faked an eye injury so he didn't have to shoot freethrows in the closing seconds of the USA vs Turkey game.

Bitchmade to the core.

wut huh

what have they asked for that's ridiculous?

 

[Cheddahz]

I'm sure Asik is going to go to the Celtics and then the Celtics will be left with the contracts of Gerald Wallace and Asik next year, lol

Yao was not bitchmade. Sampson was not bitchmade. Malone was not bitchmade.

Tom Penny gets to continue to watch his fav Gerald Wallace hobble around every night in addition to a big who can't catch

 

[Cheddahz]

Yao was not bitchmade. Sampson was not bitchmade. Malone was not bitchmade.

Yeah, none of them were bitchmade

Tom Penny gets to continue to watch his fav Gerald Wallace hobble around every night in addition to a big who can't catch

Basically

 

[Smokey]

Yao was not bitchmade. Sampson was not bitchmade. Malone was not bitchmade.

Yao could shoot and was like 80% from the FT line. And was 7'6

;_;

Me and yao will always have a place

He made mafuckers salty around here under my watch in 2k.some of the salt still flows mmm

 

[Cheddahz]

Yao's career ended way too soon

 

[Branduil]

wut huh

what have they asked for that's ridiculous?

A 1st-round lottery pick for next year.

 

[Tom Penny]

Unlikely his hands and skill at putting the ball on the floor after an offensive rebound instead of a layup rival Perk

 

[AcridMeat]

;_;

I miss him too

Me and yao will always have a place

He made mafuckers salty around here under my watch in 2k.some of the salt still flows mmm

Ha, he was one of my favorite players in 2k too. I had to prevent myself from drafting him or else it was impossible to lose the way he could shoot and space the floor.

Yao was playing MVP ball in 05 and 06 before his feet blew up... again.

 

[LegendofJoe]

Speaking of Yao the league could really benefit from another international guy taking off. With Yao gone and Dirk, Manu, Pau, etc. past their prime who else is there? Rubio and Parker?

That's not cool man... D'antoni really ran kobe into the ground

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

That seems pretty standard for guys coming back from Achilles injuries. The rest of their body has compensate and starts breaking down. Memo started getting every injury after his Achilles went out and so did Brand.

Then again, I'm not a doctor so that analysis is probably completely wrong.

 

[AcridMeat]

Bargnani.

 

[Red Blaster]

great news for la

now the worst player in the nba will no longer drag his team down and the lakers can fight for that 8th seed

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Kobe hyperextended the knee in third quarter, meaning he played 4th quarter with fracture in knee

Kobe may want to tone some things back as he ages...

 

[Tom Penny]

Faverani.

Wasn't someone scoffing at Kobe declining due to father time? At least he's on a short contract.

 

[Branduil]

Who could have known that rushing back from a torn Achilles was a bad idea.

Holy shit. Poor kobe. Did he get inured in a game?

Wonder if this is due to the achilles and him overcompensating?

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Tiger won a major on a broken leg. Play through it, Kobe.

 

[ratcliffja]

Come on, at least use semi-accurate trolling. You could definitely make the argument that he's the most overpaid player in the NBA.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Without Kobe, I think the Lakers' PG depth chart for (at least) the next week is Xavier Henry, Jodie Meeks, Nick Young.

Fucking hell, Sancha's team cannot get Embiid.

Next year man. Nikola Mirotic should be playing for the Bulls next season. Gonna be good(hopefully).

 

[ph33nix]

Well there goes the Lakers title chances

 

[Nori Chan]

Now the tank is truly one. I won't feel bad now

 

[Sanjuro]

Kobe will never be as good as Pierce now.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

International? Yall forgot the Australian Kyrie Irving. Right? Right.

 

[Red Blaster]

per of 11.7, ortg of 85, his usual awful defense and he's turning it over on almost 30% of his posessions

sounds like the worst player in the league to me
