Cleveland and Atlanta have faded significantly in discussions on Omer Asik, league sources tell Yahoo Sports.

Good  or do we want a 3 team deal?

Serious talks on Boston-Houston package for Asik have included Brandon Bass, Courtney Lee and a 1st round pick, sources tell Yahoo.

that makes sense, lee gone than we are resigning crawford or bradley
if only someone at MIT could merge their dna 

If this is the deal I will miss both Bass and Lee as they have both been playing very well this year.
bass gone are we resigning hump??

I'd be for resigning Hump. He's looked good in his limited time.

Dwight Howard and Brandon Bass played together on Orlando frontline, but sources insist Howard was never enamored with partnership.


I am sure Bass loved playing next to a clown....

This has to be a dream come true.  Going into the year, 2 of our worst contracts landing us Asik ?

No way this is happening.

[Birdman]

Gosh hope this is soooo true!!! Hate to see both Bass and Lee go but we need a center badly!!

[j804]

I don't know about this is Asik worth ALL that on top of a 1st as well? I guess part of it is Danny wanting to get out of Bass and Lee's contracts, does this mean getting out of their contracts we'd be able to sign another huge impact guy next year or are we tied to Rondo/Green/Bradley/Asik etc?

Cap gurus help me out here

Who else is excited to see Omer Asik's pale body in dark-green? Get this to the finish line Danny! 3-SEED!!!!!!!!!!!

Bill simmons

Seen it

If we pull off that trade, our defense should be pretty solid.  Once Rondo comes back, our offense is going to be horrible.  Who scores the ball?  Jeff Green, Bradley and Sully?  Nice players, but certainly not Pierce, KG and Ray level offense.

You have 9 first rounders in the next five years....Will you really miss 1 of them ?

[Birdman]

Also this will help Houston

Dwight Howard
Brandon Bass
Chandler Parsons
James Harden
Jeremy Lin

Terrence Jones
Courtney Lee
Pat Beverly
Omri Casspri
Francisco Garcia
Aaron Brooks

Don't forget Wallace. He's the contract we ALL want to rid ourselves of.

trust me i mean sign hump to a new contract but nowhere near what jersey was paying him, he's a backup pf who can give you some center minutes
no way does he start over sully

No.  Cap space isn't in our immediate future.  Too much money tied up to Green, Rondo, Wallace, etc.  Gotta extend bradley.  Swapping Bass/Lee for Asik would do very little to help our cap situation other than getting Lee off the books in 3 years.

Don't think it really matters. Houston is not the Magic or Fakers. Morey and McHale will just tell Howard to shut the #@#% up and play!!!

I feel like this is too good to be true.
