The Houston Rockets are asking for 7-foot Bulls rookie center Omer Asik in their exploratory talks regarding shooting guard Courtney Lee, the Houston Chronicle reported Thursday.
The Tribune had reported previously that Lee is a favorite of the coaching staff and that the Bulls have scouted him extensively. General manager Gar Forman saw Lee in person during the Rockets-Lakers game in Los Angeles on Feb. 1.
That said, management is very high on Asik, who helped turn the momentum of Wednesday's victory against the Jazz in Utah. After the Bulls failed to grab an offensive rebound during the entire first half, Asik brought energy in the third quarter and finished with a game-high seven rebounds in just 15 minutes.
Coach Tom Thibodeau praised Asik after the game, and management has given no indications it plans to trade him.
Although the Bulls have engaged in exploratory talks to upgrade at shooting guard, an Asik-for-Lee swap isn't likely to happen.
