Poison pill contract. It doesn't matter what he makes. He only counts towards 8.3 on the salary cap

he doesn't. his cap hit is in the low $8M range, which is his market value. when Asik was a RFA, houston offered him a contract with this year being the "poison pill" so that chicago, the team who he was on at the time, would be in luxury tax land if they re-signed Asik. chicago could not match due to this, so Houston signed him

$15M is irrelevant unless you're the trust that owns the team. $8.33M is the number
