A game changing big costs money. Asik is a role big.

8 guys that are pretty much Asik with some offense, and cost less, and most will be available next year. And this does not include the plethora of young talent that could be had that are still on rookie contracts.
Lopez
Kanter
Koufas
Anderson
Pachulia
Mozgov
Mahinmi
Speights

If Asik played more regularly like he did in the second half last night, i wouldn't mind him. But he doesn't' play like that all the time, which baffles me b/c it's not a skill, it's just effort.

I call shenanigans. Lopez and Kanter will likely make at least as much as Asik if not more on their next deal.

Anderson, Pachulia, Mahinmi, Speights, and Mozgov will NOT be available next year. Anderson, Pachulia, and Mahinmi are under contract for one more year, Speights and Mozgov are team options but are on cheap deals and should be retained.

Right. I think people are forgetting two things:

(1) More teams are just choosing to play smaller lineups or just tanking and not signing contracts.

---I think we will see much more interest in Tobias Harris than most center's in the league this off season. I have already read a few rumors that teams are considering offering Tobias freaking Harris a MAX contract.

(2) There are about 12 decent C's to divide up amongst the other teams.

Definitely a buyer's market this off season. Supply might very well be greater than demand this season.
