Stretching Asik

If I'm not mistaken do we have until the end of July to decide if we will stretch him or is the end of August.
I would assume if Dell does this it will be soon after teams are allowed to make trades/ sign free agents so it would give us some more flexibility to actually sign a decent starting guard.
I think trading Asik at this point is impossible and having him under contract the next 2 seasons could have a really negative impact on our ability to bring in another star quality free agent.

You don't stretch him until you need to. Until we get real interest from a serious upgrade, it would be dumb.

Stretching is about the money and years remaining so July or August are pretty much the same thing.

The only reason you stretch Asik is if you have a particular target that requires you to operate under the salary cap. Otherwise you keep him until you need his cap space or roster spot. If they grandfather in contracts like they normally do, he would be a positive trade asset in the 2019 offseason where you could effectively trade $3 million for $18-$19 million.

Trading him isn't impossible. In fact, they think a trade is at least as likely as a stretch as we speak today
There are multiple contracts now that are even worse and if Jrue re-signs, he is far more likely to get traded than stretched unless he agrees to a number below what he is owed.
If Jrue doesn't re-sign, stretching Asik is probably a 50/50 proposition at that point

I am still hoping Erdogan has him arrested next time he visits the grand blue mosque of Istanbul

I remember the days when everyone here was clamoring how great Asik was and demanding a Ryno for Asik trade.
Look at Houston now, they took our first, Ryno, EG, our virginity and left us with Asik. Those were the days
