40+ mil between AD and ryno....no


A few things-

They can go over the cap to re-sign Anderson. In terms of this summer, his price isn't as much of a concern as is his cap hold.

They shouldn't max him out or anything, but paying him ~$15-17M isn't necessarily insane if they think he's worth it next to Davis. No one really knows how this summer's market will play out. I doubt Anderson sniffs a max, even from Detroit, but anything is possible this summer.

It has a lot to do with distributing $. Paying Asik/Ajinca $15M/year for the next 3 years is problem when they can't play together. Paying $55M for this foursome is a cap disaster.

IMO, I'd rather spend $40M on Anderson/Davis than $36M on Davis/Asik/Ajinca + whatever they get to replace Anderson. You can find a reasonable backup big for less than what they're paying Asik/Ajinca

17M/year for a bench player is insane.

Davis isn't moving to the 5 anytime soon and Ryno is only good on one side of the ball. He will be paid a lot of money, and some team will get a pretty damn good player, but a bad contract to go with it. He's a very good role player who will be paid like a difference maker.
