    he was more of a dunker in his rookie year than sophomore year. I think sophomore year, he tried to make moves, but ended up sloppy so it ended up being a blown layup or dunk. To that end I'm happy for him if he does end up with you guys, as he has better resources to help him develop that end of the ball game.

    It was late Wednesday afternoon (4 ish) when the waiver news came out, so I suspect there's still a few more hours to go until Asik can sign.

    I'm sure Feigen or Spears will be all over it on twitter when it happens. Doubtful that Gar Forman dodges the offer sheet like Grunwald did.

    It looks like Asik treats every dunk as an opertunity to T-bag someone.

    Hopefully Chicago says they wont match so we don't have to wait like we did with Lin.

    I think it's standard business practice to wait all 3 days regardless of your decision. You don't want to set a precedent for future RFA to look at.

    They've already said they won't, but I'm not sure if there is a way to officially waive their matching right beyond letting it expire on Monday.

    I'd expect "Dwight Howard to Houston" stories to start ramping up again on Sunday.

    Important to remember just because Asik's offer sheet has been signed, 3-day clock doesn't start until Bulls receive it. They haven't yet.

    Yes a team can provide written notice stating they are not matching.
