2013-2014 NBA Thread - IND @ WAS and OKC @ LAC on ESPN

I just saw that play and I can't believe that wasn't continuation.

He got jobbed on that play, sad because the boy had a great night

Why the hell would we trade our two biggest trade chips for an eventual backup center (which is why he wants to leave Houston in the first place)

The Rockets and Pelicans just need to flip Asik and Anderson already. Can't really think of much other spots that would make sense.

I've seen less get the continuation

 "He's kind of like the 2013 version of Stephon Marbury."

yes i know this is somewhat out of context but still 

 

 

[coldcity]

It's pretty much a lock Asik is a goner now. Who should make a play for him?

 

[victor page]

Asik/Anderson does make alot of sense for both teams.

Salaries match too.

I agree that would be the best plan for both teams but the Pelican's need to forgo this entire playoff plan this year... they're a `Bari or Wiggins away from being special

Him & Chibrow would be monsters on the boards and on Defense.

Sixers got their 1st rounder this year in the Jrue deal and it's only top 3 protected.

What a great deal for Philly.

This.. Asik is going to the east book it. Morey wouldn't trade him in the west, let alone to a team in the same division
Asik/Brow tho :x

really? sixers can get right this draft with 2 lottery picks if the Pelicans dont make the playoffs.

the biggest disappointment in nba history, parsons goes up for a shot and the refs call a foul on ny for no reason. yet this perfect shot goes in and the refs fail to overlook the first swipe

do you intentionally make your font darker so that your post is harder to read?

I don't agree with this trade. The reward for the rocket outweighs the pelicans.

We all know the best deal is with the pelicans.. Just throwing the idea out there..


You get her lens insurance and can bring him along slowly while Asik starts.. Then you have your 2 picks this year.. And block him from going to New Orleans possibly making them better, which affects when you would get their pick

Yup. If we start losing like we should we could end up with something like Randle and Selden/Gary Harris.

Turner could net us another 1st rounder from somebody too.

You think someone will give up a 1st for turner?

And I really wonder what teams will offer him this summer

 

[kevin cleveland]

I love Asik. When everyone was going nuts about the contract he got last summer, I told you guys it would be a bargain.

But Anderson is way better than him, equally affordable in comparison to his skill level, and fits in well with the Pelicans' window.

The only thing that worries me is the fact that his wife committed suicide because of him. Maybe that, combined with the injury right after that prevented him from getting back to normal and being busy with basketball, takes its toll and he's never the same player again.

But it's really not an equal swap.

Maybe to the Grizzles

went to sleep at the beginning of the third thinking w's were cruising to a W, woke up this morning to read iggy hitting a game winner

 

[kevin cleveland]

Actually, Jason Smith and someone else for Asik sounds much more realistic.

Smith is a little less rangy (but still a "stretch four"/even five, little better defending Anderson, so the Rockets would get the same sort of player.

Just noticed Taylor Griffin's on the same D-League squad with Steph and Klay's brothers.

They might as well contact the Knicks and see if they can acquire superstar Chris Smith.
