[Considering Salaries] Who would you rather have: Marc Gasol or Omer Asik?

Splurge only for superstars like Harden.

But really, Harden is underpaid too.

 

Allstar harder isn't underpaid

 

I would rather have Gasol, but Asik is not a bad prize either.

 

There's several analysis on the internet over how incredibly good the Grizzlies are with Gasol at the elbow. And he's not a huge drop off on defense from Asik. Love the guy and how he's improving, but right now it's Gasol easy.

 

and to think Morey gave Gasol his contract as well

 

If there wasn't a cap on salaries, he would be paid more.

 

I would rather have Ioannis Bourousis, who is a free agent this summer, and will cost about $4 million a year, combined with Asik as the backup. That would be ideal.

If not Bourousis, my second choice for the starter would be Ante Tomic, who would probably get a similar salary, but would be harder to get since he's under contract (would have to pay a buyout) and since the Jazz own his rights.

But Bourousis, my first choice, is a free agent.

C Bourousis/Asik

THAT would be ideal and would take the Rockets to a whole different level.

 

I love Asik but Gasol is a beast offensively. His defense is also incredibly underrated. Gasol would put us on the edge of contention.

 

Tbh, I think Gasol is just as good as Asik defensively.
