Omer Asik has requested a trade from the Houston Rockets. 

Asik is unhappy with his playing time with the Rockets playing Dwight Howard at center.

Asik declined comment, referring questions to his agent, Andy Miller. Miller also would not comment on any trade request.

“I would say the situation is very frustrating right now and we’re trying to work through it,” Miller said.  “For Omer, the objective has always been to continue to develop and grow as a player. That’s why we came to Houston in the first place. If that objective can’t be met, if we can’t get the right platform to grow and contribute as a player, it’’s certainly frustrating.”

Kevin McHale has experimented with playing Howard and Asik together, but it has been unsuccessful.
