Omer Asik - The! Thread

Yes, but I wanted Indy to go after him.

Can Houston trade him to Orlando now or do they have to wait?

It's a center off the market. Indy was already looking at him as a potential replacement for Hibbert.

They have to wait.

Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA As a restricted free agent, the Bulls will have three days to match Asik offer sheet after it's signed on July 11th.

There goes our plan-B.

Also, Indiana shifted their focus to Asik and now he's gone -- matching more of a possibility now?

I'll be absolutely shocked if Indy doesn't match Hibbert.

I was feeling like this as soon as the Hibbert news broke. Send KP his picks, Freeland and Babbitt, not to match.

 

[3RA1N1AC]

indy has some serious cap space...they could spend 20 million july 11th, THEN match hibbert for the win

He has to wait till the last 33% of the contract length to be paid 60% of the money. Why is that allowed? It looks like Houston plans to trade him after 2 years.
