    Looks like we'll be looking at Atlanta for Josh Smith.

    fastest unhappiness after the slowest decision?

    ESPN is a fraud.

    Ok - he is good, but he is not Dwight.

    I wish him well and we get a good piece or future pieces for him.

    Got to feel bad for Omer, but at same time. We gave him a chance to start and prove himself. For that reason, he will start wherever he goes.

    Can't really blame him. He's a beast. He deserves to play starting minutes.

    I'll be rooting for him wherever he goes. Worked hard every game and became one of my favorite rockets.

    If Asik wants to be traded, he said said the right words.

    I'm not mad about Asik's reaction, I get where he's coming from. Hopefully we get a deal done with Atlanta, I think he fits well with Al Horford.

    it sucks. asik is pretty awesome and can clean up the boards, but dwight changes a franchise, when his mind is on basketball.

    Damn, I wish Portland never got Lopez so that we could have tried to offer Asik/others for LMA.

    Lol @ force trade.

    Appreciate the year Omer, but I don't think you'll have to force anything lol.
