I'm happy to see this guy get a legit shot. Not come here and then sign Dwight Howard. Houston fans didn't seem to like the guy and his attitude, But given what happen, I don't blame him. Love the guy already

Yeah Asik really got a raw deal in Houston. Courted by Houston, promised to be given a starting spot that he coveted and worked hard to earn only to have it pulled from under him when Dwight showed interest. I understand both sides and why Houston did it but from Asik's perspective you signed a poison pill contract with the promise of being the starting center only to then be relegated to the bench.

THX for posting!

AD and asik gonna be scary
