Need help inside? Better be ready to ante up

Via Fox Sports Ohio  |  July 21, 2012
When Omer Asik is getting 25 million, you know the NBA is desperate for big men. Nothing against Asik, a serviceable center who left the Bulls in free agency to sign a four-year contract with the Rockets. Then again, were talking about a guy who sports career averages of 2.9 points and 4.4 rebounds per game. But Asik is a true 7-footer, a hustling post player with an upside. And...

Report: Omer Asik Joins Jeremy Lin in Houston as Rockets Offer Another Three-Year, $25 Million Deal

Via NESN.com  |  July 24, 2012
What is it with the Rockets offering three years and $25 million to players? OK, so the NBA's rules and pay structure obviously have something to do with the symmetrical numbers. But it's still a little interesting that, just after nabbing Jeremy Lin from the Knicks when New York declined to match, the Rockets may be picking up another player whose former team won't match...
