How he gave both Asik AND Ajinca those deals is beyond me. He managed two untradeable contracts (without having to give up assets to get rid of them) at the most ridiculous position in the league in the same offseason...the "big who can spell our stretch 5 for 20 minutes". I get the Asik signing. But the Ajinca 4 year/20 mil to compliment it was just beyond any level of comprehension. Not to mention he got in a bidding war with his own damn self for both of them


+1

One or the other. Makes no difference to me, but both was bad. If those contracts meant they felt like they had to dump a cheap, young guy like Stokes (even if he didn't work out, which was likely), that's just a shame. Rather take a flyer on somene like that as a 3rd center than $4M for Ajinca.

Again, this idea that he brought back Ajinca to be a future a trade chip...I mean how is Ajinca's value looking these days?

Compared to Jeff Withey who he probably could have locked up just as long for 1/4 or 1/5 of the price. Granted a near minimum deal isn't very tradeable, but that's a fantastic price for a solid backup center.
