Yes they gave up a top-3 protected pick for Asik. Houston will be
if NO's lottery pick falls outside the top 3.
Woj: Asik Traded to the Pelicans
- Thread starter nomoreneveragain
- Start date
if NO's lottery pick falls outside the top 3.
I'm not saying it should actually be vetoed. I'm just frustrated that New Orleans is run by clowns and LA was the only team who wasn't allowed to take advantage.
I think we're about 90% in agreement... all this talk about getting it vetoed....i certainly wouldn't go that far.

The Takeover
New Orleans added a piece to their team they've been looking for since they drafted AD and Asik been on they radar for a good minute and nikkas and Coli GM's over here shytting on the move.
They add one more piece and I dont see why they cant be a playoff team if everybody stay healthy. No reason why they cant be the Trail Blazers of next season, if Portland can win 50+ games with Aldridge, Lillard, Batum, Wes Matthews with Terry Stotts coaching no reason NO cant do the same with their core and Monty Williams coaching

Because Portland had shot makers all over the court. Who the hell is spacing the floor for New Orleans?

NO got Morrow and Ryan Anderson and Jrue can shoot the 3. Shooters aint hard to find, they can add more people to space the floor. AD can space the floor with his 15-22 foot jumper himself

Common sense tell me it's a rental. It's HIGHLY probable he won't stay there after he comes off the books. If you understood how these things work, you wouldn't be questioning this.
Nah you don't have to move Gordon to absorb Asik's contract. Just need to free up $8.3m (Aminu will no doubt come under this umbrella).
Do you not realize you gave up a top-3 protected pick for a player that will be gone at the end of the season?

That's because you're short-sighted.
Aldridge, Lillard, Batum, Matthews is 100000x better than the Pelicans.
Morrow and Anderson aren't starting. They're gonna have to adjust the starting lineup so they don't start out in 20-10 holes every night like the Rockets were when they started Howard and Asik together. Then the team is gonna have $11 million 6th men.

Somebody has to go (Rivers, EG) for us to absorb his contract. Unless you better at this contract and cap lingo than I am.
Bottom line is this isn't our final move. I wanna see what other shoe drops before I fully judge the trade, but again I digress, you seem to know exactly how every thing will play out.

Aldridge, Lillard, Batum, and Matthews arent THAT much better than AD, Jrue, Reke, and Gordon. Portland caught a lot of teams by surprise early on in the season and why you replying to my posts? Your posts get skipped over faster than the College World Series. fukk outta my faceThat's because you're short-sighted.

AD is a totally different player than Dwight and better offensively than Dwight, NO wont have the same issues Houston struggled with them two together on the court not too mention that shyt was a bad idea from jump cause Asik didnt want to lose his starting spot. All Asik gotta do is worry about defending the paint and getting boards, he'll be the surefire starting C and they'll be alright

They need to take his ass to a witch doctor or voodoo priestess and put a mojo on that nikka to stay healthy
Breh, I'm talking about their three perimeter starters. Evans, Gordon and Holiday do not compliment each other and are not going to space the floor.Aldridge, Lillard, Batum, and Matthews arent THAT much better than AD, Jrue, Reke, and Gordon.
