Rockets deal Asik to the Pelicans in return for 2015 1st round pick

[Shabazz]

Clearing space to make a run at Lebron or Melo it seems.

Believe in Rick Carlise

That's two years in row. I'm stunned. I don't think they are going to be in the playoffs next year barring some bigGER moves.

Starting Lineup
Jrue Holiday
Eric Gordon
?
Anthony Davis
Omer Asik

Not bad but they do have a glaring hole at the 3 unless they actually want to keep playing small with Tyreke in there.

Poor Asik, now he's stuck behind Davis instead of Howard.


Rockets get nothing from this, and am I the only person who hopes they sign Anthony... he's bound to drop a dozen wins off whoever he signs with.

LoL. Yah I mean look what Devin Harris did to us.

Supposedly the pick is good from 4-19. The possibility that dell demps might have given up a #4 pick for one year of Asik is absurd.

They should make the playoffs but they have a lot of guys who miss a lot of games

[BackHome]

So who is backing up Howard? If they are able to land Lebron man they are going to be scary....

I agree

They might not suck next season, but 4-19 is such a risky move for a player like Asik, especially when they have to play in the West.

Davis gets hurt and they could end up losing a top 5 pick in the next draft for Asik's rental.

Pelicans don't value their picks enough IMO.

Asik starts at center, Davis will play his natural PF spot. It fits very well personnel wise, I just hate that they gave a first round pick for an expiring player

Isn't Dell Demps the guy that okayed a trade that would send Paul to the Lakers for garbage? Awful GM.

[montgod]

Not so fast... salary of Asik doesn't fit. NO will have to throw in Rivers or Gordon.

i really hope Kidd-Gilchrist is on their radar. I think the Davis, MKG pair could do some damage.

[SupremeGuy]

A first round pick for a one year rental of Asik? lol Pelicans getting raped in this deal.

That mentality was my doubt exactly during the trade rumors of the season. But i'm starting to think Davis is a bit of an injury risk. Asik could get some real minute management run.

Yeah they'll probably give their 2017 and 2019 picks, top 5 protected. :/

The Hornets aren't shopping MKG. They are shopping Gerald Henderson.
