    Hopefully we don't trade him. We can win a title with him this season and if he chooses to whine then suspend him.

    You understand that it wasn't just an arbitrary date, right? In order for the Rockets to be able to flip whatever assets they get in this deal by the February trade deadline, they HAVE to make a deal by December 19. Morey didn't just pull a date out of thin air.

    Your crops will rot in the field and not be worth anything.

    I think i'm in the minority. I really like the idea of C. Lee, Bass and a pick for Asik. I think we overrate Asik here, we just have a sweet spot for him or something. Think about it, Asik is a fantastic post defender, great rebounder, but he's an immense offensive liability. No one is gonna give us a star, we'll only get solid role players like Bass and Lee, because Asik is a roleplayer.

    As much as i'd love for Asik to buy into the team, he won't. and it's best to trade away the cancer.

    Sometimes the best trades are the ones that do not happen.

    Good, lets build his value up again and then go after LMA or Love.

    Put your big boy pants on Omer. Time to go back to work, not sit back and pout and cry and whine.

    Still a tad skeptical. But I'm sure I'm wrong.

    And we've had a cupcake schedule thus far. We've beaten the Spurs once and that remains the only win against a 'contender'. Our schedule gets significantly more difficult after February.

    I like it. No reason to take a bad deal.
