I"m talking months ago, not weeks ago.

Not to start a pissing war, but you were the most ardent of supporters of the $8-10 today is the new $12-13 now if I remember correctly.

I understand our situation and the only way we don't keep him is in a sign and trade, which seems unlikely since most teams don't have a need for a guy like Asik, and the few that do, don't have anything to give us in return.

I do agree we need a guy to help us in the regualr season to protect AD, but AD is our 5 when it comes to the playoffs and whoever our C is will play limited minutes come playoff time.

Which is fine. San Antonio does that. The Warriors do that. The Thunder were at their best with Ibaka at the 5 (RIP Scott Brooks's rotations)

The problem for the Pels is they don't have the same flexibility, at the moment, to go small ball effectively like those teams. I would have loved more flyers on wings the past few years instead of guys like Jimmer, Roberts, etc. And, of course, that it didn't happen doesn't mean they didn't try.

But maybe they can get by with Anderson/Davis, insane offense, and sound team defense. The Warriors held the Cavs in check with no real rim protectors on the floor.

Man that seems like a long time ago

$8 million plus 40% = $11.2 million. I do think $10-$12 was many people's earlier expectations, I just didn't recall many saying $13. And I've been talking about the supply gut just as long as the cap inflation with regards to Asik so I always expected closer to $10 than $12.
