I attribute all of our current issues to the Asik signing.


It all goes back to the Tyreke Evans trade.

You give up Vasquez and, more importantly, Lopez to get Evans. This leaves you with a gaping hole at the 5. In order to fill the hole that you created to bring in a redundant piece, you have to overpay for Asik, giving up a first. Then, when Asik expires, you are left in the same situation as we were in this year with Jrue. You can let him walk, but you're left with no ability to replace him, so you overpay again. Unfortunately, overpaying Jrue this year, means that you'll be capped for the foreseeable future after maxing out Cousins next year.

We've been throwing bad money after bad money for about 4 years now and nobody in the organization can apparently see what's been obvious the whole time, Demps is in over his head.

Its a knee jerk response with no planning. Why would you let Holiday make it to FA? Same with Gordon and Anderson. If someone gets a 25M a year contract, they had to have some kind of trade value. Get value while you can and find back ups capable of stepping in. No way I would have given Holiday that contract.
