Had no choice to salvage this season indeed. Love it. Let's get this show on the road. Thank god Asik is gone.
Get it done Dell! We need that kind off trade to make a playoffs. Make it happend.
Linking this just for the numbers. How does this affect our money situation since Mirotic is a bit more expensive? Obviously 2 years is better than 3 years, but what are the chances that that 2 mil extra could hinder anything?

Is that the only move we're making? Not a bad move at all, mind you. But I was really, really hoping for Kemba, against my better judgement.
Thanks alot Dell, now i won't be getting any work done for the rest of the day. I am super pumped about this potential move if true.
At least we know he can take a punch like a champ!
YESSS!!
Asik (worst contract int he NBA)
1st round pick (around 15-19)
FOR
Mirotic (young PF with 16.8 points, 6.4 rebounds and 43% shooting for 3 this season. 2 years left for 12M/year)
Good move Dell.
What a steal! I would have given up a 1st rounder just to move Asik.. getting Mirotic in return is awesome. Landed the best 3 point shooting big in the NBA who is just 26 years old. I'm still excited for this season where getting some playoff experience will be a step in the right direction. Going into next season we will be in good shape if Boogie resigns. We are a starting wing and scoring bench guard away from being a serious contender. Someone like Lou Williams could really take this team to another level.
Now if we can make another move without shipping out Moore I'd be happy.
I am wondering if there is more to the trade.. We have to be under the hard cap and we are taking in 1.9M and only have 1.2M. Is this the main part of the deal and we have some fillers to make it all work? Hopefully some protection on the 1st round pick too. Overall good trade by Dell. This helps us a lot. I am so happy that I will never see Asik play in a Pels uniform again.
Still haven't processed the whole getting Mirotic in the deal.. I'm still processing I never ever have to see Omar "stone hands" Asik in a Pels uniform again!! Man he was so terrible!!
Hope that we've got a better deal now...
But that's never the case.
Well crap
New Orleans and Chicago had a deal for Nikola Mirotic, but it's fallen apart for now, league sources tell ESPN.

Damn. Maybe they wanted our first, and we demanded that they take Asik in return and thats what caused the falling apart?
Could be the Mirotic is the hold up.
