Why does Asik make $15 mil a year and is highest paid player on team?
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
