Bucks talking Asik

[trwi7]

Ready, attack!

[Thunder Muscle]

Oh dear lord. I'm going to pretend I didn't see this.

[bizarro]

So, if the trade can not be made for a week...

We are sitting @ 5-17 and 4 games back of the 8th seed. This upcoming 3 game stretch is huge. MUST lose to the Bulls and Knicks. It's a foregone conclusion we will lose by double digits @ Dallas. BUT, we need to lose @ home to the Bulls and Knicks.

Let's put on those tanking shoes gentlemen. Shine em' up.

If they trade Natty Ice and keep Asik: F#$% this front office. Seriously.

[BobbyLight]

If you're looking for something positive out of this, it probably doesn't increase wins.

Yay... I guess.

I guess if we don't give up Wolters and flip Sanders somewhere (I'd wayyyyyyy rather keep Sanders and see what he's got, being the best interior defender in the league is rather valuable and that's what he was last year) then it's just typical Bucks. Which is depressing.

I hate that I love this team.

[Ron Swanson]

The Asik rumors have been out there for weeks if not months. I'll withhold judgment until some more tangible evidence presents itself. Could also be part of a three team deal.

[cinematographer]

If the Bucks trade for Omer Asik with a 5-19 record, the league might as well take stewardship of the franchise. That is every bit as bad as the Cavs owner trading 3 consecutive first round picks.

[MiltownHawkeye]

The Bucks remind me of a pet cat I once had. It would always piss and crap either in my room or right outside the litterbox. Somehow, every time this happened I was surprised even though I shouldn't have been, knowing he was too old and too stupid to ACTUALLY change.

[bizarro]

The biggest issue I stated with this on the call is that unless LS is moved Asik would never be happy here. He doesnt want to play 2nd unit or be a under 30 min guy. LS and him would never work minute wise.

I completely agree...

The biggest mind-boggling part about this is our beloved organization has NO PLAN. NONE.

This came through so blatantly obviously in the article earlier this year w/ comments form Kohl and Hammond. They don't have a **** clue or a vision. This trade would completely confirm this. It would be a completely reactive trade. If they had any type of **** plan in place they wouldn't overreact and do something as stupid as this.

OH WAIT!! They view Brandon Knight as their PG of the future!?!? OH WAIT!! Playoffs at all costs...

What was I thinking. This trade makes perfect sense for this collection of Asylum escapees.

[trwi7]

Preemptive strike against the billboard. Well played, Bucks.

[Matches Malone]

What the **** is the point of moving Wolters? Can't they try and move Ridnour and a second or something? What in the actual **** is wrong with these idiots? Wolters has been are best point guard this year and we are just going to trade him like a meaningless throw in for another player that doesn't move the needle and plays the exact same position of our highest paid player. Not to mention he already makes a ton of money next year. Jesus christ! JESUS CHRIST JESUS CHRIST! I just can't do this anymore. I seriously can't.

[LUKE23]

The problems with this deal, if it happened, are several:

1. Using Ilyasova to go after veteran salary instead of angling for youth or picks
2. You're trading for Asik on a team that has Larry Sanders coming back relatively soon and also Henson emerging? LOL!
3. The fact that we are going after a player like Asik signals that the front office is not only not tanking, but thinking we have a chance to turn it around. I HIGHLY doubt this front office is forward thinking enough to trade for Asik with the intention of flipping him for more value.
4. Including Wolters, who looks like a really damn good backup PG that is signed for three years.

The only positive I can even think of from this deal is that it doesn't really improve us much. We are the dumbest **** team on the planet though, so nothing would shock me at this point.

[ReasonablySober]

2 of the three young guys we have worth a damn are centers so we are going to trade for a starting C. **** retards. As awesome as Asik is though we don't get better because we lose our only PG and our spacing in the front court.

That's my thinking. Doesn't really affect the tank, probably makes it better, but we would be giving up promising young players and that's **** stupid.

[bizarro]

If the Bucks trade for Omer Asik with a 5-19 record, the league might as well take stewardship of the franchise. That is every bit as bad as the Cavs owner trading 3 consecutive first round picks.

Better yet, if they trade for Asik with a 5-19 record we should unanimously walk out of this forum and create a new forum for Orphaned Bucks Fans. Seriously. Just straight leave them in the dust. Start following the NBA's intelligence - i.e. the young GM's who get it. Maybe mass migrate to Orlando...Phoenix...Philly. Just off the top of my head.

We'll create internet shrines for Tobias and Giannis (a lesser one for Wolters - we need the lesser idols. They lift up the great ones). Something like this. But, honestly, write a final letter detailing how they killed our spirit. How they orphaned their most diehard fans...like a Breakfast Club letter. And, get the **** out of this mess while we still have our health and our sanity (presuming, we have any )

[RandyBreuer]

Houston has a plethora of power forwards if it went down that way. At least get Motiejunas or Papanikolau out of this if not Jones.

Oddly, my family had a rescue Cocker Spaniel with a similar problem. She had this insane habit of rubbing her diarrhea squirting ass down our carpeted stairs once or twice a week. I repeatedly took her outside preemptively, but somehow she always defied me. And, I recall being consistently shocked when I had to steam clean the carpet. I was a young lad, then. And, they do say you can't teach an old dog new tricks...but, when you're too young or naive to know the difference you just keep steam cleaning the carpet. It's a metaphor for our existence here on this board. We keep steam cleaning the carpets and wonder why Herb keeps pissing and **** himself...and, yet, we keep cleaning it up. It's purgatory, I tell you. Purgatory.

[worthlessBucks]

Ha, we used 2 second rounders to acquire Nate, so we'd be #winning again.

[ReasonablySober]

I don't get this from Houston's perspective either. Terrence Jones has been a stud for them at the four.

The Bucks and Rockets are just terrible trade partners, period.

[Matches Malone]

Only way this trade is palpable is if we somehow got Jones in the deal and this move was a three team in which Asik goes to another team or we move Sanders for picks and young players and keep asik. Either way I don't plan on any of this happening. I am so so so sooooooo close to calling it quits.

[JayMKE]

I suspect the actual trade will be much worse for us, Hammond needs a restraining order against Morey.

[bizarro]

We really should edit this thread title..

"Bucks Talking Asik - a Forest of Young Puppies Yelps"

"Bucks Talking Asik - a Collective Bed Wetting Ensues"

"Bucks Talking Asik - Nelson Mandela Dies"

I'm sure Twirly could come up with something much more effective, but, none the less, something to empower our disdain for such a proposition.
