i kinda like the idea of shumpert for asik

Shumpert had secret offseason knee surgery tho
― Matt Armstrong, Monday, 18 November 2013 04:48 (ten years ago) link
asik is worth like a billion shumps
― lag∞n, Monday, 18 November 2013 04:50 (ten years ago) link
especially since he had his high top removed in secret offseason surgery
Knicks make Shumpert available in trade talks, 2 days later we find out he had his knee scoped. Only the Knicks.

shumpert for asik is stupid for both teams imo!!
― twist boat veterans for stability (k3vin k.), Monday, 18 November 2013 05:12 (ten years ago) link
I think trading Asik for a nice pick is fine
― Matt Armstrong, Monday, 18 November 2013 05:14 (ten years ago) link
asik is twice the player shump is, and the knicks iirc don't have any other players or picks to sweeten the deal. rockets need a 3 or a 4, not another small. asik doesn't work on the knicks for the same spacing reasons he hasn't worked on the rockets. i'm sure they'd love to stagger his and chandler's minutes to protect melo/bargs on D but asik is too good a player to be getting less than 30 mins a night
― twist boat veterans for stability (k3vin k.), Monday, 18 November 2013 05:14 (ten years ago) link
asik doesn't *really* make sense for the knicks but i mean beggars can't be choosers!
houston could use another 4 but they seem content to play small and considering how consistently horrifying their perimeter defense is, i feel like they could use shumpert
but the salaries don't match up anyhow. i don't see how the knicks are gonna be able to make any trade whatsoever.
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Monday, 18 November 2013 13:22 (ten years ago) link
shump could take some of patrick beverley's minutes and it would be a slight upgrade but asik is worth more than that. i agree they shld just get a pick for asik.
― call all destroyer, Monday, 18 November 2013 14:09 (ten years ago) link
i dunno i feel like they have room for a real good player if they could find a match. they're still giving major minutes to francisco garcia and omri casspi. (and terrence jones)
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Monday, 18 November 2013 14:16 (ten years ago) link
true, i think i'm struggling to find a team that can use asik and give up a rotation player in return (have not looked that hard tbh).
― call all destroyer, Monday, 18 November 2013 14:18 (ten years ago) link
i also think it would make sense if they kept him, but if so they should prob not have him just rot on the bench
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Monday, 18 November 2013 14:23 (ten years ago) link
shump and amare for rondo loooooool
here's some actual garbage for your all-star
― z-time champion (agent hibachi), Monday, 18 November 2013 14:41 (ten years ago) link
Knicks don't have a tradeable pick until 2018 iirc
2018!!!
― z-time champion (agent hibachi), Monday, 18 November 2013 14:42 (ten years ago) link
i mean, if the celtics want to go into super tankmode (like, be the worst team in the nba which essentially guarantees you a top 3 pick and a superstar in this year's draft) they could do worse than just selling rondo off to the knicks. but obviously they're not taking amare back, that's insane.
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Monday, 18 November 2013 14:51 (ten years ago) link
the underplayed part of that deal imo is how worthless it would be for the knicks unless they totally remade their offense

these teams should just do the Asik/Pek/Anderson megatrade. Would miss the idea of Pekovic ice fishing though.

The Drexler-Porter-Kersey-Duckworth-era Blazers had a wicked fast break, but nothing will ever top the Blazers championship team and the run they had through the playoffs. This year's team does have a lot to like, though. We'll have to see how they look in April before I truly commit in my heart.
― Aimless, Tuesday, 19 November 2013 02:15 (ten years ago) link
they're fun, well-coached, have a totally wild offensive system that seems to be working, the guys who need to play play d hard do it and the rest of the guys at least look like they're committed to not getting burnt, aldridge does his thing better than he ever has, lillard is a firecracker you have to root for, batum does everything, matthews and mo williams are hitting their shots, and they can play with a lead which the mcmillan teams couldn't ever quite crack. i just have a lot of fun watching these guys, which is a lot more than I can say for the turn-off that was the jail blazers era and the dull as paint dumb basketball of the mcmillan years.
but i mean, you're right, it's the middle of November. I'm optimistic, though!
― Clay, Tuesday, 19 November 2013 02:22 (ten years ago) link
portland looks cool, i hope they can keep it up and make the playoffs against someone besides the spurs

IMO that Kevin Ware leg injury was like 1/100 as bad as Livingstons, altho just as gross looking. A clean break of a bone vs every ligament in a knee torn and his patella and tibia dislocated.
― Spottie, Tuesday, 19 November 2013 03:06 (ten years ago) link
the nets shot 37% tonight and just looked like garbage whenever livingston wasn't on the floor which is a problem
