Easily, Lee is the better defender and is shooting:

.518 and .486 from 3

compared to Garcia:

.396 and .349 from 3

Per Stein...Rockets moving back from trade table. Probably not happening today.

Eta. Confirmed by Woj. Can't say I'm disappointed. Omer needs to stop his whining and play.

Lee was Damn good and consistent last time he was here.

He is, by far, a better player then Garcia.

Garcia has played 20/night. Lee is at 15. Garcia has played more than usual because parsons and harden have both missed a few games.

That would be ideal for you guys, but I doubt it's going to happen. I think that this just means that they'll end up trading Omer for a good player, rather than a crappy group of players and picks.

The Houston Rockets, who installed a self-imposed deadline of Thursday by which to trade disgruntled center Omer Asik, have changed their plan. A person with knowledge of the situation confirmed that the Rockets ended trade talks with teams regarding Asik and will now re-assess his situation. The person spoke to USA TODAY Sports on the condition of anonymity because trade talks are not typically discussed publicly. USA Today Sports


they should have taken the Celtics offer.

It wasn't a bad offer from a player standpoint... but it wasn't good from a contract standpoint.

If I knew Morey's deadline was bullshite, I'm sure other GM's did too.

I'm fine with it. Someone will need a big man at some point this season.

Well Asik is going to have an incentive to play hard now or teams won't want him. I've said all year that the best scenario would be to keep him. He needs to stop pouting and start playing. If he wants out he has no choice.
