No that player wasn't Chandler Parson's... It was Omir Asik...

There is an easy market for Asik among teams with cap space or trade exceptions — teams that can take Asik and send back zero in salary. Houston overplayed the Asik market in December, when it tried to gin up an auction-style bidding war that annoyed the rest of the league.

The Rockets even asked Charlotte for the equivalent of three first-round picks in exchange for him, per sources close to the talks. Per Grantland

No wonder they weren't able to trade him, they were treating him like Kevin Love.

Ha, they be tripping hard.  This guy's salary is way too much.  Houston did this to themselves, with their "poison-pill" contracts, trying to be cute.  Now they pay the piper.  He's a good player and would help some team but not worth 3 first round picks, come on now.

"asked Charlotte for the equivalent of three first round picks"

Gerald Henderson - 2009 1St round, pick 12

Brendan Haywood - 2001 1st round, pick 20

2014 - pick #24

Here you go Houston, this is the "equivalent" of three first round picks, and it matches up salary wise. Lol

Lol, it was probably Portland's pick, Detroit's pick, and our pick in 2015.

I wouldn't trade three first round picks for Kevin Love either!

      Thomas Fletcher Didn’t Make It, But These Four Did

      Seriously? A CB who missed all that time on his rookie deal and was also a top 10 pick when the guys picked right before and after have been studs. A RB our GMs tried to replace with FAs and 2nd rounders and two backup level players is one of the best drafts we’ve ever had? I’d argue that the 2011/2012 drafts were better even with just Cam and Luke/Norman. Here’s the drafts I think were better: 2017, maybe 2018, 2015, 2013, 2011, 2012, 2008, 2007, 2001, 2002 (just Pepp) I’m hoping 2025 is way better as well. Honestly, we’ve kind of sucked at drafting overall and that’s the only reason you can even remotely call Horn, Hubbard, Tremble and BC a good draft let alone one of our best ever. Good teams that draft well would laugh at that as a great draft. If you want to look at say the 2023 Lions draft, you’d get 4 stud/above average/average starters not just 3 replaceable starters/backups and a top 10 pick that missed half his games. That’s a draft that helps turn a team into a playoff team. Our record since our 2021 draft is 19-49. A best ever draft doesn’t go 19-49.

      I remember when football was great.    Wasn't this century.

      Bingo. You can't pay that type of player elite franchise QB money. That average starter type player can excel when he's surrounded by top shelf talent in a great offensive system but pay him elite QB money and you're going to really struggle to surround him with the type of talent you need to carry him. You pay those elite franchise QBs because they can carry your roster. You can't pay guys who have to be carried. Bryce showed glimpses down the stretch last year. I really hope he keeps building on that. But before we back up the Brinks truck he needs to show that he's the type of QB who can lift up and carry the offense because when you pay those guys that's what they're gonna have to do.
