You think someone will give up a 1st for turner?
And I really wonder what teams will offer him this summer
He's averaging 23 and 6, legitimately might be an All-Star this year and is only 25. Yeah, we're definitely getting something decent for him.
is lakers deal with it bro a fairweather fan? has he jumped ship?
you be the judge
blue hat
Something decent and a 1st rounder are completely different though.
I mess with Turner but there's a lot of cats like him that put up numbers on garbage squads, get moved to an average team, and go right back to the mediocre game they exuded before. If he had to be traded today, an NBA GM could easily use that as leverage to only give up an expiring contract an a 2nd rounder for him.
McHale said afterward that Asik said he "wasn't feeling good" and asked not to play.
Maybe Asik just didn't want to play
Does this look like "Put me in the game coach!"?

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

An expiring contract and 2nd rounder? And this isn't some bum team at the moment. They're actually winning games and beating playoff teams with Turner as the go-to guy.
Used to like Asik but there's no room for two divas in this team. You get paid lots of money to perform and do something that you love. It sucks he doesn't want to buy in to being a backup (and I understand) but last time I checked, his job is to play the game
But they rolled out a whole campaign to him to last summer about why they wanted him...and he went there because they gave him the chance to be a starter. He has a right to want out.Used to like Asik but there's no room for two divas in this team. You get paid lots of money to perform and do something that you love.

he looked like that all game
you can tell dude is just upset
How do NBA players get paid? like twice a week? and do they have to use BBVA?
Its up to the players I believe. Some get paid up front, others weekly/biweekly/monthly etc.How do NBA players get paid? like twice a week? and do they have to use BBVA?

well your ppl swindled him from the bulls when he was a backup & cool with it...
paid him starter money & he started all last season....
would you want some new guy coming in & making you a runner up to the job you were brought in to do
I understand that.. and I respect that he wants to be the starter, but he is not starting over dwight and obviously the twin towers experiment aint working out. But as a basketball player, you have to do your job in order for the TEAM to succeed.. If it means coming off the bench to spare Dwight and win games, I don't see why he is whining so much.

Call him a diva...but what player in his shoes WOULDN'T do the same thing?
Before someone says Harrison Barnes....that doesn't count. He's still paying dues.

There's only one diva, his name is Dwight Kemp.
Asik actually seems passionate about the game on a nightly basis, but when your boss hires somebody for a job that you were just hired for not even a year before and you're doing all the sacrificing... what's a Asik to-do?
