Rockets Asked Hornets For Three First Round Picks For Player

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!

      Slowing my roll on Ward (for now)

      Him and Sanders are the only QBs I would consider in the first round. I won’t be upset if we take Sanders, unlike some people on the board. Both have potential to be really good NFL QBs if the teams can develop them.  But as we have seen teams are not willing or are unable to now properly develop rookie QBs.

      I remember the last time we had a Cam at QB in Charlotte

      Because Young is so historically bad that it just skews too far outside the normal deviations that perspective is easily lost. That or they just don't want to believe it.  The struggles last year would have been more about the infighting and poor roster building or idiot owner's hiring practices than with Stroud. He wouldn't have been as good but he wouldn't have been ruined here and the pressure was not Carr-esk if you take out the Young created portion from his playing style.  Dude is a young guy on a team coached by a Defensive guy building a good D but not building up the O in year 2 of his HC 1st time gig. Seems familiar... Go look at his output this year and not just some crappy Thursday night implosion game, I would take that in a second and never ever look back every time without a shred of doubt while eating 4 of those games a year with a giant smile on my face.
