re: Asik played a big role in that EG 3 near the end

competent NBA centers are hard to come by...we have one and the makings of another if he could stop fouling and play better defense
asik for 22-25 minutes and ajinca for 18-20 would be ideal. you will see the front ofc pull out all the stops to re sign asik, and likely the response will be that it was an overpay
previous moves have been criticized due to opportunity cost, but this team has only extended one player of note so far (Gordon). the opportunity cost argument doesn't fly there, because he was an up and comer and a potential core player. Asik is the same due to market scarcity and this teams particular needs
you can go back and at we should have just kept Lopez but that's in the rear view mirror
asik will be on this team and starting if the team has it's way

That's the case in a nutshell, imo. Teams will pay a lot of money to a true center with decent skills.

I don't think Asik will be happy with that. And I don't know if you want Ajinca playing that many minutes with his fouling prowess. But if you could fix those issues and get them both for about $16M, that would be great.
They need to figure out what Ajinca can really give them over the rest of the season. Also curious if they will ever let Davis play the 5 for small stretches with favorable matchups. At some point, many teams in the playoffs go small. I'm not sure you can survive with Davis + Asik/Ajinca in those series.

Just depends on what they offer. If it's more than 4/$48, I'll probably think it's an overpay.
Asik is good at what he does. He has holes, but any realistic replacement has holes too. Ajinca certainly has holes. Whomever they get, people will bitch about all the things he can't do.
This roster right now is interesting. Not sure how high the ceiling is, but there is some balance and some solid depth. Would love health to let them marinate some.
