2015 pick i saw

BwareDWare94 · Jun 25, 2014

Oh, man. Daryl must be pretty damn sure he's going to land someone.

Mexi · Jun 25, 2014

THEYLL NEVER TRADE ASIK
HE MAKES TOO MUCH MONEY

THEYLL DEFINITELY NOT GET A PICK FOR HIM EVEN IF THEY DO FIND A TAKER

yeah

elcheato · Jun 25, 2014

The team who tried to trade Chris Paul for Lamar Odom & Kevin Martin traded a first for an average center who counts for 15 million against the cap.

Consistency

Awful news for Pistons fans. There goes the most likely Monroe sign-and-trade partner.

Mexi · Jun 25, 2014

Asik is freaking good man
Ive been telling you guys

Its more funny to me that they traded robin for nada and then traded a pick for omer

Mexi · Jun 25, 2014

And even if some of you did think theyd trade asik, idk who, i know no one thinks theyll trade lin

Just wait

Question for nola

how can they even afford him? salary cap wise? Dont they not have $15M in cap space?

bosoxlover12 · Jun 25, 2014

Its good for Anthony Davis tho: a good rebounder, and it lets Davis play PF.

CameronCrazy06 · Jun 25, 2014

I was thinking the same bosox. They might have an exception though

Looks like he gets paid the $14.9M, but his cap hit is only $8.3

Why are the Pelicans helping the Rockets clear cap haha aren't they in the same division

Asik is probably slightly better than Lopez though, right? And I think letting Davis flourish at the 4 is a great idea.

bosoxlover12 · Jun 25, 2014

Because they get a good center to put next to AD, and that was their biggest weakness

Plus they get $1.5M in cash considerations and give up only a 1st, which according to Sam Amick apparently "will likely be late lottery and no worse than No. 20." lmaoooo

cause this isnt mlb or nfl
Divisions in the nba are useless

You should know that as an NBA guy

His cap is 8.3M, but they still can't, there's more to this.

I'd bet Rivers gets moved tomorrow night.

yeah hes better, but they coulda kept a pick by keeping robin

jonathanlambert33 · Jun 25, 2014

But yeah, I know I've said Asik won't get moved in the past but I'm really happy with this.

Or they dont pick up his team option

they'll try to move him for a late 1st/2nd rounder, and take some Euro.

#27 for Austin Rivers, to Phoenix?? Not terrible.

In today's league Asik is more than above average. I'd argue top 10.

Pels acquire Asik
