Rockets Asked Hornets For Three First Round Picks For Player


Recommended Posts

No that player wasn't Chandler Parson's... It was Omir Asik...

There is an easy market for Asik among teams with cap space or trade exceptions — teams that can take Asik and send back zero in salary. Houston overplayed the Asik market in December, when it tried to gin up an auction-style bidding war that annoyed the rest of the league.

The Rockets even asked Charlotte for the equivalent of three first-round picks in exchange for him, per sources close to the talks. Per Grantland

No wonder they weren't able to trade him, they were treating him like Kevin Love.

Ha, they be tripping hard.  This guy's salary is way too much.  Houston did this to themselves, with their "poison-pill" contracts, trying to be cute.  Now they pay the piper.  He's a good player and would help some team but not worth 3 first round picks, come on now.

"asked Charlotte for the equivalent of three first round picks"

Gerald Henderson - 2009 1St round, pick 12

Brendan Haywood - 2001 1st round, pick 20

2014 - pick #24

Here you go Houston, this is the "equivalent" of three first round picks, and it matches up salary wise. Lol

Lol, it was probably Portland's pick, Detroit's pick, and our pick in 2015.

I wouldn't trade three first round picks for Kevin Love either!

    • he has barely suited up for 50% of our games.  It matters pending how much of our cap and resources go that way.  If he cost in the ballpark of a Surtain? No thank you.  Let someone else  And as far we know what happens when we let talent walk away or trade them…..that’s a mixed bag.   should we of paid Norman, Bradberry at CB? They probably had earned the right to be called better than Horn at that moment of the decision.  Do we regret that? Do we regret Star walking? Can take it back to Spoon.  Flip side is probably Peppers.  
    • We need to get better in the redzone. And yes that is an issue that involves all the moving parts. Oline receivers QB and playcalling. But Bryce himself has to lead the charge on that or surely we could face another blowout in one of these upcoming games. Every team no matter how good they are is going to face an opponent that imposes their will on them and requires the same in response. Those are the games where we have got to capitalize on drives. Honestly I get the sense that the Chiefs on some level overlooked us.  So while I am pleased we were as competitive as we were it certainly remains to be seen if this was the beginning for something new or just an anomaly. I think that's a perfectly fair take at this juncture.
    • He is a diva, even with Baltimore winning, he will cry and pout and ask to be traded. He cares about his numbers and stats for his next contract. Ironically, his best chance to showcase his ability was with us, now he is just an afterthought.
