HOUSTON -- Chicago Bulls restricted free-agent centre Omer Asik has agreed to a three-year, $25 million deal with the Houston Rockets, according to a person with direct knowledge of the deal. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal hasnt been officially announced. Free agents cannot sign new contracts until July 11 and because the 7-foot Asik is restricted, the Bulls have three days to decide whether to match Houstons offer or let him go. The Rockets have made finding a big man a priority since injury-plagued Yao Ming retired last summer. Houston was rumoured to be collecting draft picks to package in an offer to Orlando for Dwight Howard, but the team ended up using its three draft picks on Thursday night. Asik was playing professionally in Turkey when he was picked by Portland in the second round of the 2008 draft and immediately traded to Chicago in a three-team deal. He played in 66 games last season, but only averaged 3.1 points, 5.3 rebounds and one block per game. Asik helped Turkey earn the silver medal at the 2010 FIBA world championship. Rockets general manager Daryl Morey said last week that he wants to re-sign unrestricted free agent Marcus Camby, who joined the team last March. Houston traded Samuel Dalembert to Milwaukee for the 12th pick and three players. The Rockets selected Connecticut guard Jeremy Lamb with that pick, and also drafted Iowa State forward Royce White (No. 16) and Kentucky forward Terrence Jones (No. 18). wholesale jerseys ."

The lawsuit filed Saturday night in U.S. District Court in New Orleans also asks for a temporary restraining order to allow Vilma to continue working if Goodell upholds the suspension. The suit contends Goodell has undermined "the integrity of the NFL and the Commissioners office" by handing down punishments to Vilma and others based on evidence that is either flawed or cannot be substantiated. It is the second lawsuit Vilma has filed in the matter. The first, filed in May and also in federal court in New Orleans, seeks unspecified damages from Goodell for defamation of character. In his latest filing, Vilma claims that the NFLs collective bargaining agreement required Goodell to rule as soon as was practical following a June 18 appeal hearing. Because players, in protest, declined to present new evidence or argue their case in the hearing, Goodell should have been able to rule by June 25, the first business day after the record was closed in the matter, the lawsuit argues. It was not clear if the NFL had seen the suit. Messages left with two league spokesmen Saturday night were not immediately returned. In his latest attack of the NFLs handling of the bounty probe, Vilma contends punished players have only been able to see less than 1 per cent of the 18,000 documents the league said it has compiled. His suit also claims that the few key pieces of evidence the league shared are flawed, including printed reproductions of handwritten notes. "The NFLs alteration of other documents evidences that the NFL cannot substantiate the suspension, and undermines the integrity of the process," Vilmas lawsuit states. The lawsuit seeks to discredit a key piece of evidence outlining bounty pledges from before the NFC championship game against Minnesota in January 2010, and also takes aim at fired assistant coach Mike CCerullo, who, according to Vilma, produced the document for the league.dddddddddddd Cerullo had a vendetta against the Saints after his firing following the 2009 season, and resented that the Super Bowl ring he received had been made with imitation (cubic zirconia) diamonds, the lawsuit contends. The lawsuit claims Cerullo created the document "well after the 2009 NFC Championship game and in an effort to gain revenge against the Saints." The suit further contends that a "close associate" of Cerullo has confirmed that Cerullo retracted his previous claims about the bounty program "in a communication directly with Goodell that occurred in April 2012." The lawsuit notes that Goodell has not shared notes from interviews with Cerullo. Goodell also did not produce Cerullo as a witness at the appeal hearing or acknowledge Cerullos retraction. However, NFL spokesman Greg Aiello has denied that key witnesses in the bounty probe have retracted statements. Aiello also has said the NFL has not issued any gag orders. Vilmas latest lawsuit, however, claims the NFL has ordered suspended former Saints defensive co-ordinator Greg Williams not to speak with suspended Saints players, coaches or officials as a condition for his reinstatement. The NFL has said that Williams, who is suspended indefinitely, organized a bounty system that offered cash for hits that injured opponents, and which ran during his three seasons as defensive co-ordinator in New Orleans from 2009-11. A close friend and associate of Williams, who was present for at least one discussion Williams had with Goodell, contends Williams never acknowledged the existence of a bounty program, Vilmas lawsuit said. Williams associate also contends that Williams has no information corroborating NFL findings that Vilma offered a US$10,000 bounty for knocking quarterbacks Kurt Warner or Brett Favre out of 2009-10 playoff games. The same associate confirmed that Goodell ordered Williams not to speak about the bounty matter with other punished individuals, the lawsuit said. ' ' '
