i get the asik argument...i really do
at this point though we have to make the best of it, asik's money and the asset to get him are long gone.

yeah. i get it, but i think it's sort of irrelevant at this point. lot of talk about sunk cost the past few years- asik is a sunk cost.

also not sure why people think noel will get a max contract. biyombo is a better player, with a huge playoffs and no injury history, and he didn't come close to a max.

yes, you're spending $16-$20M/year on him. that's the going rate for a 23 yo 5 that puts up 10 reb, 2 stl, 2 asts, and 2 blk per 36.
