I don't know about that, omer was a double double guy, and re directing and blocking shots, plus he could hit FT,s and had a mid range jumper, I would trade him for tyson any day of the wk..

There better no doubt, but they run up and down like MDA likes to do, and DH is not good in that kind of offense

Why would Houston trade Asik for Tyson when they just signed Howard?

but guess what-- for all his immaturity and clownishness he seems to have realized his limitations and agrees with the perception among the enlightened that he is indeed overrated. good for him! maybe he is maturing as a person and knows how to do math. a shorter contract with a 7% paycut from what the lakers offered.

winning may actually be more important to him than money at this point so he leaves a losing and dead-end situation for less money but a brighter upside. for perspective he is virtually the same age as carmelo anthony forced his way onto the knicks.

i think shaq has an excellent understanding of the game of basketball but i think he is not really putting himself in howard's shoes when it comes to another man's decision.

Hot damn. I don't think this guy is done. Watch him flip Asik into a top PF.

I am thinking the same thing but Tyson and Dwight would not work. Timberwolves are looking to trade Love for the longest time and Morey is in love with Love or Aldridge.

I see this deal happening and I think it helps all teams involved.

NY trades        - Tyson Chandler and Tim Hardaway Jr.
NY receives      - Omer Asik and Jeremy Lin
Houston trades   - Omer Asik and Jeremy Lin
Houston receives - Kevin Love
Minny trades     - Kevin Love
Minny Receives   - Tyson Chandler and Tim Hardaway Jr,

NY gets the center and pg we need. Our lineup would be
C-Asik
PF-Bargs
SF-Melo
SG-Shump
PG-Lin
Bench-JR, Pablo, Felton
We can now look to trade Felton for a bag of chips.

Houston gets their stretch 4 and rebounder to pair with D12. Their lineup will be..
C-Dwight
PF-Love
SF-Parsons
SG-Harden
PG-Beverley
Bench-Greg Smith, Montijunas, Garcia...They will be deep.

Minny gets a PnR center and young SG to play with Ricky. Their lineup will be..
C-Tyson
PF-Derrick Williams
SF-Sved
SG-Hardaway JR
PG-Rubio
Bench will need some work.

Yup Yup

Tyson and Nikola Pekovic don't really work. If Minny gives up Love they want a PF back.

They would move one of them to backup C. I think Pekovic moves to the bench. They would be a pretty good C tandem. They also have Derrick Williams at the PF spot.

Love is a borderline high-level all-star, I would assume Houston/Knicks gotta add in more.
