Who is omer asik agent

Utah Jazz. Chicago Bulls. Pistons' Olynyk knee to miss at least six weeks. Detroit Pistons. Green takes Pels to task after 5 technicals. New Orleans Pelicans. Considering the new information regarding the sheer size of the incentive in Asik's contract and that it was not achieved last season increases what grade I would give this contract. Now I sit solidly in the B section.

Unlike the few vocal others I am very glad that Asik will be back in a Pelicans uniform at a fair price. If the summer league squad is any indication, the product we will see next season will bear very little resemblance to last year's team.

If Alvin Gentry wants to play fast the key will be corralling rebounds and getting stops. Few contribute more on that end than Omer Asik. Roundup: NBA free agent grades. As for Asik, he did improve New Orleans' defensive rating from Even worse, Asik ranked No. The hiring of coach Alvin Gentry could change this calculus. As a duo, New Orleans's bigs posted a defensive rating of But maybe that just says a lot about Davis's ability and not as much about Asik's.

In the playoffs, it became clear very quickly that Asik was a major weak link during New Orleans's first-round series loss to Golden State. His presence on the court allowed the Warriors to ignore him and pay extra attention to Davis whenever they wanted. He also didn't engage with the necessary energy and determination on defense.

Asik somehow managed to register just two field goals and zero blocks in 79 minutes during the series, and New Orleans was outscored by 36 points with him on the court. Last summer, after Dwight Howard agreed to sign with the Rockets, rumors immediately surfaced that Omer Asik was unhappy and would seek a trade out of Houston. The rumors were strong and immediate, indicating that they came directly from his agent. Now, some five months later as Asik is stuck in a bench role with the Rockets and has not been traded, he has fired his agent and hired Arn Tellem, one of the most aggressive agents in the NBA.

Asik is obviously unhappy with the fact that despite a pair of trade requests, he remains in Houston, and this move only solidifies that fact.
