Other than making an assertive to push to sign star power forward Anthony Davis to a five-year extension that exceeds $143 million starting on July 1, the Pelicans next order of business is making a push to re-sign starting center Omer Asik.
Sources say the Pelicans will make a push to bring Asik back, although he sputtered in their first-round playoff series this past April against the eventual NBA champion Golden State Warriors. But despite his limited offensive skills, Asik ranked fifth in the NBA this season in rebounding percentage at 21.4 and he totaled 54 blocks.
The Pelicans also inherited Asik's bird rights from the Houston Rockets, which means they can go above the salary cap to re-sign him.

That's the kind of hard hitting journalism I expect from Reid.

Makes way more sense to bring him back anyway

How screwed are we if asik doesn't want to stay in New Orleans?

Erman is credited with creating an average defense in Boston without a rim protector, so it'd be interesting to see if they try and make do without or use an asset/MLE to fill the hole.

I agree, but I wouldn't want to see us give up an asset for a center. Resigning Asik is probably our best option. If he leaves and we give up a 1st round pick and/or a valuable asset for a starting center, then we really take a step back as a franchise. If we sign a center with the MLE, then we don't have much room to improve with the small forward. We would be stuck using the BAE or trading more assets for improving at the position.

I call bs. I talked to Dell the other day at balance spa and asked him directly what was his plan in regards to Asik and he told me I have to wait and see. If he didn't tell me, he wouldn't tell anybody.
