Wait, is it true Houston keeps Asik still? People saying different things, I thought Asik is still going to NOP?

Yeah, good point. But a disgruntled Asik playing backup center and some spot minutes at PF? Ugh.


They also got euro guy and some cash from us?

WTF is that š? It's Aşık, originally.

They should have, Miami had to save face somehow. Morey grossly miscalculated things.

HAHA!! What did I say about Houston and their trade practices?

Nothing but dreaming, and to think that their goal was WCF...like what the heck??!!

I'm not sure they will match Parsons just yet, they have to target another FA with that cap space, or else they really did lose Lin for nothing. They have all day tomorrow and a couple of hours on Sunday to try and get a free agent sign with them. It will be close, but no way they throw in the towel just yet, especially with Anthony still being out there.

You can get that kind of productivity from Marvin Williams at a quarter of the price.

Lolbron won those chips in Miami. Not that goofy dinosaur. If anyone is screwed, it's Miami.


Stop watching basketball if you're comparing Bosh to Marvin Williams.

I hope people will stop talking about Morey like he's some sort of GM god now. He really hasn't accomplished much for all the praise he gets. They may as well go after Bledsoe now though, could save the off season, maybe.

So you're comparing stats without context, bravo.

Comparing numbers? Check again good sir. Williams doesn't compare to Bosh in any statistical category. This just goes to show how underappreciated Bosh is. As a first or second option, his numbers take a massive jump.

Poor Harden, been close to being on a staked team twice.

Bosh is my hero, i love How Houston got dumped. Howard probably will never win a championship.

Without context? All I said was that Bosh' productivity last year isn't worth max money. Sure he had to play behind Lolbron and Dwade, but he would've had to play behind Harden and Dwight in HOU. I'd say that's comparable.
