re: How much will Asik get next season?

Point is, there are plenty of centers out there making under 8 million that provide what Asik does and more.
If you're going to give a guy like Asik 11 million, you might as well give more money to someone actually worth a shite.
There's only about 10 legit free agent centers this year
There are 21 free agent centers next year, only 6 are RFA and that list is loaded with talent.
Get by next year, don't handcuff yourself, and go get someone good the next year.
If we make the playoffs again, Jrue stays healthy, we can be an attractive place to come play at.
I'd give Deandre Jordan $18 million before I give Asik $11.
I don't know what we will have available to go after this summer, but the priority shouldn't be to resign Asik to $11 million. That should be a last resort, and with all the FA bigs the next summer, i don't want to be tied to Asik going forward at $11million.

The problem is we can't get those guys because of salary cap and all that. We have Asik's Bird Rights so we can re-sign him.
I'd be really interested to see if they move Ryno and as I mentioned try to get a lowpost/rugged 4 to compliment AD when we go small ball.

No, the point is you are looking for any alternative to Asik, even if the options are fictional. There are plenty of centers making less than $8 million, but they are not available in the upcoming Free Agency. Also, we don't have $8-$12 million in cap space to give Asik, we have Bird Rights, so it's not like we can take the money we have for Asik and give it to another FA center.

So in what is likely a contract year for Monty and Demps you want them to take a step back by not resigning Asik. That'll happen.

And that sums up the problem with just about everything you post on Asik, the alternative you are suggesting is not an available option. And if you were to make the trades that makes it an option, you turn Asik to Jordan, but you dump enough that you essentially are where you started this year, not enough legit rotation players on the roster.
