Woj: Asik Traded to the Pelicans

[Hypris]

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

Melo and Lebron need to stay in the east. The west is competitive enough.

 

[Recca Gatsby]

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

Not only that but did I just read the protection on the pick correctly? LOL

 

[Brozay]

Can anyone figure out what the fukk New Orleans is thinking?

Who the hell is their GM?

 

[Brady-Carter]

man, the Rockets are really taking a run at Bron and Melo. Crazy.

God I hope Bron and melo go west. Raptors Eastern Conference finals appearance lock..

 

[TheyCallMeAzul]

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

They're gonna be an excellent tandem. And Jrue is a really good perimeter defender. They should be a great team on that end

 

[Houston911]

"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"











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

this my city

Wojaveli with the scoop!

 

[Th3G3ntleman]

The fukkery of Bron joining another Big three would be too tremendous. It won't happen.

 

[HNIC973]

Bulls let Asik walk for NOTHING in return

and they now gonna watch Houston snatch up Melo with their best sign/trade asset being what they got in return for Asik

Lets all laugh at the Bulls front office real quick

were a joke

I've been critical of some of our moves (overpaying EG, still 50-50 on Reke), but this deal is good for us. We're gonna get rid of EG eventually, that I am sure of.

With or without Asik, we are probably picking in the midteens of the draft. Doubt there is anyone in next year's draft that will be right away as good as Asik.

People been yapping about us giving AD a solid center to play next to and now that we give him one, you in here acting like it's a got damn crisis that we got him a solid 5. We're building through AD. Asik's contract will take care of itself, esp after Gordon leaves. Trades are always debatable but this one needs to play out before you keep acting like we got fukked over. It's a front court of Anthony Davis and Omar Asik, how the hell can you possibly act like it's some awful deal?

Solid move for Pelicans, but they're gonna need a bench. Maybe they can flip Evans to a team that needs a starting combo-wing for 2 good players...or flip Gordon

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

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?

off the top, it'd ONLY be lottery protected the following year (open ended from there on up) , then decrease from there. don't have the specifics atm.

pelicans should have looked at grabbing lopez.

Wojaveli with the scoop!

People hate him becuz of that story with LeBron and the cold fries but dude is easily the best at what he does.

'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

Im guessing if its between 10 and 20 then Houston gets the pick
