Pels acquire Asik

[CameronCrazy06]

cause this isnt mlb or nfl
Divisions in the nba are useless

You should know that as an NBA guy

 
I mean I know but I'm still not helping them out

 

[jonathanlambert33]

I read the Pels have to send out 6M in salary before the moratorium ends but I'm not sure how true that is.

 

[bosoxlover12]

 
In today's league Asik is more than above average. I'd argue top 10.

 

 
I'd argue top 10.

 
top 10.
 


what.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Al Horford
Al Jefferson
Joakim Noah
DeAndre Jordan
Marc Gasol
DeMarcus Cousins
Tyson Chandler
Chris Bosh (if he counts)
Brook Lopez
Roy Hibbert
Andre Drummond
Dwight Howard
Nikola Pekovic
Andrew Bogut
Marcin Gortat
 
Can't wait to hear BWare argue this list haha
 
That's 15 centers btw. Only guy I think you could argue Asik over on there is Chandler and then you can take Bosh off if you really don't want him at the center

 

[Mexi]

Ill take omer over deandre and tyson
Possibly hibbert and probably bogut

But yeah

Bosh doesn't count. Andrew Bogut is never healthy. Marcin Gortat, Pekovic, and Hibbert are not definitively better than Asik. That puts Asik at 10.

 

[Pugz]

wow. the front court is gonna be pretty damn good defensively. clearing space for the rockets to make another super team tho, ehhhh.

Not over DeAnre. Come on. Doc turned him into a fucking beast.

There's a few guys I'd take him over on that list, but only a few.

But I've always argued fit and you can't beat this fit. Exactly what we needed at center.

 

[BwareDWare94]

Brook Lopez is never healthy, either. 
 
Let's talk about players who are going to suit up for most of 82.

 

[elcheato]

 
In today's league Asik is more than above average. I'd argue top 10.

Considering Duncan, Cousins, Jefferson, Dwight, Marc Gasol, Favors, Drummond, Noah, & DAJ are 9 guys who are better, and fighting for the 10th spot would be him, Hibbert, Valancuinas, Gortat, both Lopez', Pau & Varejao, I'd say your argument is wrong

 

[elcheato]

Basically what CC said, you fast typing douche

 

[Pugz]

gortat is vastly underrated too, imo

 

[CameronCrazy06]

 
Bosh doesn't count. Andrew Bogut is never healthy. Marcin Gortat, Pekovic, and Hibbert are not definitively better than Asik. That puts Asik at 10.

 
Marcin Gortat is absolutely better, Roy Hibbert is an All-Star, and Pekovic is better too. You're just narrow-minded.
 
I guess I could give you Bogut though

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Hibbert may be an All-Star but what's really separating the two? That's a question lol

Ill have to do the research tomorrow.

 

[bosoxlover12]

Off topic a bit, but Bill Simmons is rubbing off on me too much
 
 
I love me some BOOGIEEEE 

 

[Pugz]

hibbert should never be an all star again and he sucks. drummond should take his spot and im not even being a homer.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Hibbert may be an All-Star but what's really separating the two? That's a question lol

Ill have to do the research tomorrow.

 
Roy Hibbert has a far more diverse offensive game. Asik is almost unplayable in fourth quarters because of the fouling rules although he has improved. Asik is a better rebounder but that's about it?
 
Hibbert is a far better rim protector.

 

[bosoxlover12]

Hibbert may be an All-Star but what's really separating the two? That's a question lol

Ill have to do the research tomorrow.

When Hibbert is mentally focused (aka 2013 playoffs and 1st half of 2013-14 season), he's a Top 5 scoring C. His shotblocking and rebounding is also really good as well.
 
 
He lost complete focus this second half of the year, because Vogel isnt a verbal coach and I think Paul George banged his girl, but when in focus, Hibbert is far superior offensively

Ok, Pels have to free $8.3M by July 10th. But that's not the real dollar amount because they're yet to give up the rights to a couple guys (Jason Smith, Anthony Morrow, Al-Farouq Aminu for example). They won't have any problem getting there.
