Omer Asik - The! Thread

[Fez Hammersticks]

DraftExpress: Omer Asik is a monster inside the paint defensively. Contests, blocks or deflects everything. Fantastic on pick & roll. Long, agile, active.

Didn't this cat average like 3 its and 5 boards? If they give him 8M a year....... Then Nic is worth 15M!

Burn this mother fucker down!

Draft: 2008 - 2nd round (6th pick) by the Portland Trail Blazers

He was also stuck behind Noah and Boozer and only played 15m/game. That 3 & 5 translates to about 8 & 13 per 36 minutes.

Don't hate on him just because he's white. He's from Turkey, so technically he's Asian!

 

[VanillaGorilla]

He's no where near worth the 8M rumor that's flying around though. He's worse offensively than Przybilla.

 

[THE HCP]

I'd love 8/13....... but he only deserves 5M a year.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Leonard = COTF

Asik could step in right now until Leonard is ready. He's a young Przybilla -- impressive advanced stats.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

 

[RoyToy]

Maybe Asik could have a Nikola Pekovic type rise if given playing time?

That said, don't really want to be the team to give him $8M to find out.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Yeah, I really hope they don't get in a bidding war with Houston and Minnesota.

Pekovic is fucking crazy. I still can't fathom his rise to a 21.4 PER last year.. But I don't think Asik will ever be close to as good offensively as Pekovic.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Yeah, I really hope they don't get in a bidding war with Houston and Minnesota.

Between the 3 of us who has the biggest Turkish community?

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

They meet with Asik and Gordon this week, how do you even work that financially?

S&T is the only way.

Meeting with both means they are definitively trying to sign both?

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Leonard = COTF

Asik could step in right now until Leonard is ready. He's a young Przybilla -- impressive advanced stats.

I'll bet anyone right now, if Leonard gets 25 mpg (at least 30 games), he'll get 3/5.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Well, yeah. Otherwise it's just a waste of time.

 

[VanillaGorilla]

I don't even think there's a chance of that to be honest

 

[VanillaGorilla]

Well, yeah. Otherwise it's just a waste of time.

Doing things that may turn out to be a waste of time is in the job description of being a GM.

Fucking Asians. Besides Lin and Yao, most people can't even remember any Asians that played in the league (besides Wang, but that's for different reasons). And Lin is know for 8 games.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

If given the chance, you don't think Leonard could do that? Really? Shit, even you could do that.

 

[VanillaGorilla]

He'd average more than 3 points in 25 minutes

 

[Further]

I'm fine with asik as long as it does not alter our chance at getting better players and we only offer two year deal.

 

[Rhal]

a 3y 21m or 4y 28m isn't something i'd cringe at, it would defiantly be a backup backup plan though.
