Woj: Asik Traded to the Pelicans

[red222]

How can they trade next years first when they traded this one?

Good deal for the Pelicans outside of Asik getting $15M

@sam_amick: Regarding New Orleans giving up firsts in two consecutive years, I'm told this deal will happen officially in July. By then, that's legal.

They really are going to make a push at signing both Anthony and James it seems. Crazy shyt.

Morey been winning in the Offseason, Every Year ... yet Houston hasn't been able to get out of the 1st round yet.

If he doesn't get Lebron, they won't make it out of the 1st round next year either ... Even if they get Melo

Yeah morey isn't great but hes good. And they did in 09

Good riddance Omer

honestly wasn't ever a fan of his

I like getting a defensive big next to Davis but what did they give up

 

[Charlie Broadway]

"There's no way Rockets can get rid of McGrady's albatross contract"

"There's no way Morey can dump Thomas Robinson"

"There's no way Morey can dump Asik or Lin"

i don't understand why they would give up a pick for a guy they're gonna have to overpay to keep

he's an expiring

whats the protection on the pick?

if my* rockets trade harden

Everyone's focused on the big fish but low key I'd be cool with signing Lowry and maybe trading for Milsap or Ilyasova. We'll see though

 

[red222]

@sam_amick: Rockets deal likely happens after July moratorium (10th) because NO will likely use players w/ nonguaranteed $ to match Asik's $8.3 million

 

[red222]

They still have to renounce Parsons' rights

 

[Houston911]

1-20 protected.

Stupid trade by the Pelicans. They can easily find a player that can provide the same impact (or close to it) for a fraction of the price.

lol at Harden tho.

when does the protection run out? do you have a link to the details?

what centers can give that impact at a fraction of the price?

'The draft pick included in the deal has protections. It will go to the Rockets if it falls into a range between the late lottery and the 20th pick, sources said."

that protection makes no sense

 

[AntoineWalkerShimmy]

If I had to guess - Lin to Sacramento or Toronto.

Yep - would be hilarious to see them throw Harden to the bushes

 

[red222]

@CSNKevin: Mavs, and now Rockets are about to clear cap space for a near max deal. #Bulls have some major competition for Melo

 

[nomoreneveragain]

Harden was the one who got them Dwight, if they throw him to the bushes to get Melo and Bron



He should have just stayed in OKC

 

[MikelArteta]

Asik aint worth a first round pick

Not hearing shyt

a 27 year old big man who plys excellent d is not worth a first rounder

 

[Apex]

Davis/Asik is going to be a great defensive front-court.
