Offensively Enept Omer Asik is average a double double for 3 million less than noah

[Harden's Beard]

Alot of people i talk to prior to the season start had say that Omer cant shoot, he suck, he cant play 30+ minutes, the bulls were right to let him go,but now i think they have seen the errors in their way, this guy is a legit NBA start, and the bulls should have better handled the situation between him and the joakim noah

currently omer is average 10 pts, 12 rebounds 8 free throw attempts per game and 1.2 blocks

while joakim noah is also playing good and is pretty much on the par with omer, while averaging 4 assists per game, omer would have been the cheaper option

i am of the belief that joakim has pretty much peaked at this point of his career, he is what he is, a really good nba center who can do things on both ends of the court, and who, at this point is probably the better player of the 2

but omer asik is younger and has not even entered his prime yet, this is just his 3rd nba season and first as a start

joakim makes 10 million + per season and in 3 years will be making 13 million dollars. and we all know at some point this season, he going to get injured, which happens like clock work with him, either a thumb injury or some ankle or something stupiid

i was of the opinion that they should have moved joakim in a deal to acquire a nice piece like a kevin martin or maybe even in some sort of package to get a rudy gay or somehting. some kind of player who could have fitted better next to rose for when he comes back

while letting omer start and develop

even i had not expected omer to attract such attention this year and perform, i mean 8 ft attempts a game? even though he only makes 60%, think of all the foul trouble he cause

i felt that he would have been the better option, and they should have matched the deal even with the poision drill because that same year he would have been making 15 million, kevin love would be in the last year of his deal as well

i felt maybe u can construct a deal around omer who is expiring, the 2016 unprotecteded bobcats pick for love or somehting at that point

but anyway, this is all water under the bridge, let us celebrate omer, he is playing great, people talk bad about him, say he would foul out at half time, said he couldnt score, this and that, look at him now

a top 10 nba center, who is only in his 3rd season and first as start

in the grand scheme of things.... whats 3 million bucks... its not a significant amount on an nba salary cap

Omer Asik.

[waveycrockett]

I've said it before and I'll say it again Asik is at worst just as good as Noah. Noah is extremely overrated.

[AddiX]

Asik proved me wrong, one of the best pick ups of The off season so far. I didn't think he was this good.

If you watched him play you knew whats up. He is the new Gortat. All he needed was the minutes.

[Im_in_Mia_bish]

This is stupid.

At that time Noah was the better player.
What asik is doing is phenomenal but don't pretend as if this was forecasted.

Not many GM would give up a sure thing (Noah), and gamble on a player like asik whose potential was unknown.

I'm glad asik is BALLIN tho. Love the Turkish dude.

currently omer is average 10 pts, 12 rebounds 8 free throw attempts per game and 1.2 blocks

'inept'. also he isn't averaging close to 8FTA - it's 4.3 at the moment.

but yeah, he's been good. especially pleased he hasn't had as much foul trouble as people were expecting.

[Harden's Beard]

i appologize, i mean 4 ft attempts, not 8

8 fg attempts sorry

[Im_in_Mia_bish]

I think Patrick Patterson is the one that benefits from all this.
He's on my fantasy n just BALLIN as well.

[justinnum1]

it was a mistake to let asik go imo

[Im_in_Mia_bish]

Patterson's last 5 games- 22,10,20,19,14 on 55% fg, and 44% 3.

Not bad.

[ChiSox219]

it was a mistake to let asik go imo

The Bulls entire offseason was a mistake.

[NYYCowboys]

I can't even read the OP. It looks like a 2nd grader wrote it.

[5ass]

Should've resigned asik and traded noah for a sg.
