I'm pretty sure we could sign LeBron for a vet minimum and 480 would still call the move dumb.
No, that would be the best move ever! quote:

I STILL think he will end up being better than your AD but we will have to revisit this in 4-5 years.

That's what Michael McNamara is implying, and he has a pretty good understanding of the salary cap. I was under the impression that you can either use your cap space or the MLE, not both. I guess you can use the cap space to absorb deals, just not to actually sign FAs.
Now MM is saying what I figured: we will not be able to use the MLE if we take Asik using our cap space as opposed to sending out ~$6m in salary.

And no one cares about a pick that's going to be in the late teens
Ya.....because you guys always get lottery picks!

I'll just be happy to be above .500

How is getting arguably the best defensive center in the nba for a mid teens(that's protected) dumb?
You're a typical NBA fan that overrates draft picks. Anyone that has a brain is praising this move.

Dude... we have had 4 top 10 picks since the team moved to New Orleans. And 1 of those picks was immediately traded to the 76ers. Other 3 top 10 picks were AD, Chris Paul, and Austin Rivers at 10.
We will be much better next year when we are actually healthy and now have Asik. The pick will not be in the top 15 unless we lose multiple players to injury again.

What was our record when we had everybody healthy?
You could say that for any team! Injuries happen, baw! People are out riding Rhinos and shite in the offseason!

He's a rebounder who converts offensive rebounds into points.

Just think if it as upgrading from Ajinca to an actual starting NBA center.
Not that Ajinca is terrible. He just shouldn't start.

I am too lazy to read 16 pages, can we still use the MLE to sign a decent SF or do we need to trade Gordon?

Because by doing so you are giving a team in your division the best player, by far, in the NBA and fricking your salary cap? Not to mention you already have the Spurs, Grizz and Mavs in your division. AT BEST you will be the 3rd best team but probably 4th or 5th. Anyone can see that!

Frenchy off the bench, with his energy and defensive presence, is going to be interesting.
