Kevin McHale said Omer Asik is not available tonight.

McHale was less than forthcoming about why Asik is 'unavailable.' His long pauses said a lot.
They better find a trade quick...

Houston cronicle said that he wouldn't play as a Rocket again this season. He's gone, just a matter of time.

That situation is a mess, but just a matter of time as to when he's gone.

And they're asking way too much for him in a trade.
Hes a valuable asset for sure, but what they are asking is unreasonable IMO.

Not the best situation. They'd get better deals after December 15.

It'll take a three team deal to get it done. He eats up a lot of cap space.

Injury? If not a trade might be in the works. Teams sometimes hold players out when something is about to happen

Asik for Marion straight up works and it would help both teams.

Ryan Anderson for Asik and a 1st rounder.

I've seen that, but I don't think Les would go for it. He doesn't like "old" players.

No. Demanding a trade.

So McHale says well then you are not going to play at all if you aren't going to give effort.
Asik's like fine.
^^ That's the gist of it.
They're trying to trade him.
They should wait until after Dec. 15

What are they asking? All I've heard is rumors from people saying there are rumors. No real source of what they are actually asking.

NOOO. Do NOT want. Awful trade. Not a Morey trade IMO.

They want an impact player and a first round pick supposedly.

I feel like the Rockets really had no plan for what they'd do with Asik if they got Howard. Ah frick it, we'll figure it out later

I think its impact player OR 1st round picks. Never heard that its both. Like I said, no one actually knows what they are asking. Also, Morey is not someone known to ask for something unreasonable.

I'm 95% sure its impact player OR 1st round pick, which isn't unreasonable at all considering Asik averaged a double-double his first season as a starter. Most NBA draft picks cannot assure a similar output.

Rockets general manager Daryl Morey is asking for an “impact player” in talks about the disgruntled big man, but he would settle for a lottery pick, according to Yahoo!’s sources.
