Having a better defence will help knicks on transition offence which most people ignore. Also Omer Asik is a very good pick and roll player which can help Carmelo a lot. He is very physical and big, in that sense he will also improve the offence.
Another point which is ignored is that having Omer will make Tyson Chandler expandable, so Knicks can swap him for a better offensive player. I think having Omer will put this team on the top of the division.
Knicks will also save a lot of luxury tax because Omer makes 3 million less than Bargnani.
For Rockets, Bargnani's jump shooting abilities and passing game could be a good asset. It is definitely a better match than Omer.
Both players have 2 years left on their contracts so in that sense, neither party is taking a huge risk.
You do have a point. However, instead of bargs, I'd definitely go for another player to trade. Not because Im a die-hard barges supporter, but coz, as i see it, our problem is in the 1 and 2 position rather than the front court. After all Bargs is playing well and showing his confidence also in the defensive end. I recognize to Asik, some of the nuances that you describe but I still think that in terms of IQ Bargs is definitely better. Therefore, if we are to trade for Asik, why not getting rid of people like Felton or JR?
Because Felton and JR aren't worth Asik and don't have any value to the Rockets
Yeah I was surprised I didn't see any of this, guess I just didn't see it.
