Asik seems to have great court vision and anticipation, which I believe leads to the "little wasted motion" you speak of. If things work as they should, I think this move could help AD on several levels. If the Pelicans are able to move Rivers and/or Gordon for a quality small forward, then IMHO the pieces should be in place to make a serious run, barring significant injuries.
He shot 7% better than Howard the last two seasons.

Yeah this will be a problem since he will be on the floor at the end of games. Thing that sucks is that most players don't improve their FT shooting when they come here. They usually improve when they leave, like our FT coach sucks or doesn't exist.

That's supposed to make me feel better? Dwight sucks at free throws, and from his short stint with the Lakers it showed because there were games where he was pulled in the 4th because of how much he sucks at free throws.
If Dell manages to keep Anderson, the pelicans should have one of the most interesting teams inside. You can create a very interesting rotation with AD playing 36 minutes (18 minutes PF, 18 minutes C), Ryno 30 (all PF) and Asik 30 (all center). There would be basically three combination inside for the pels.
First the "None shall pass" for an average of 18 minutes per game with AD and Asik disrupting the PnR and protecting the rim.
Then the "Open season" for an average of 18 minutes per game with Ryno and AD destroying the opponent on the offensive end. Best suited against offensively-challenged teams and smaller bigs.
And there would be also the "AD may take some rest but not the opponent" with Ryno doing his thing and Asik patrolling the paint.
That would be a pretty good and versatile frontcourt rotation.
This is false. There are 6 players here who played for the team at least 2 years and had over 50 attempts. Out of those 6 players, 4 of them improved their FT shooting %, most of those by a significant amount.
Also, how do you know Asik will finish games?
I wonder what the significance of 7/15 is. That seems odd considering Houston needs to clear the cap space for free agency.

Deals done, but it isn't legal thanks to salary cap brikabrak?
Meh. Things will work out, I'm sure. Just wondering specifically how.
And when.
To my understanding I think deals can be retroactively "filed" in any other that allows them to be legal by a certain date or once the team is content with the deals it has confirmed. I probably have this wrong concerning particulars but I think I convey the point I'm attempting to put across.
Jrue dat
Is he at 55%? That is at about the point that the hacking strategy hurts the team doing the fouling.
He's at 55% for his career. Last year he was at 62%.
Career 54.4%, but better in most recent years (closing in on 60%).
Cool. Then doing 'hack-asik' will usually work to our benefit.
If anyone is wondering where 55% comes from, if you make your free-throws at that rate, you are scoring at 1.1 points-per-possession (or 110 ORtg). If a team averaged that amount all season, they would be one of the top offenses in the league. The Clippers led the league last season at 112.1 ORtg.

Really? A whole 4 players? That's nice. Now look at how players improve after they leave here. I'll throw out the ones I remember just off the top of my head. Okafor, Ariza, Marco Belineli, Carl Landry, Chandler was the big one, that's when we showed we weren't doing something right.
Teams can only do the Hack A (insert player) when the team is already in the bonus. This is why Ryno is so valuable and why I maintain that he will finish games. If Asik is on the floor at the beginning of the 1st, 3rd, and 4th, middle of the 2nd, as I expect - then this is a non issue.

Did you read the rest of the post? 4/6 players who were here for two years (with the current coaching staff) improved. Monty and his crew never had the chance to work with Chandler so how is he even relevant?
Makes sense, perhaps it's the lateral quickness that I'm discounting, or his quickness in general. So maybe he isn't as fast in a foot race, but his reaction time is great, no doubt he's got great hands and timing for blocking shots.
Also, he's from Turkey, which is part Europe and part Asia. Eurasian then?

So every employee that worked for us was fired when Monty took over? He was still there for the other 4 players I mentioned, but thanks on cherry-picking one.
I have watched every single P&R possession on defense from last two years. Also, every possession when he switched onto a guard. I was blown away. If AD keeps getting the mental part of that side down, those two can be the top two big men in the league once Noah starts to slow down at defending the pick and rollMakes sense, perhaps it's the lateral quickness that I'm discounting, or his quickness in general. So maybe he isn't as fast in a foot race, but his reaction time is great, no doubt he's got great hands and timing for blocking shots.
