    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.

    If you know its actually 8M for the Rockets, why bring up the 15?
    It has nothing to do with anything at this point.
    If Bulls don't match, it counts as 8M on our cap, it counts as 8M for any team trading for him from the Rockets.

    The Jazz had to take out a bank loan when it matched Millsap's front loaded offer from the Blazers. Even though the cap hit is manageable, the real world hit could hinder a future move or moves.

    just dont say Les is cheap...he is getting ready to shell out 30 mil for Lin and Asik...for a year of basketball...just saying..

    best case scenario...we are doing really well by year three..both in the standings and financially

    worst case scenario...Les gets a heartache as he signs Lin's and Asilk pay check

    uuum, we arent the Jazz.

    Cap hits are all that matter when talking about NBA team financials. They have yearly budgets that they have money set aside for(anything under the tax line) and these contracts fit within that budget, so what the hell are you going on about?

    Asik and Destroy is a hustle defensive machine. Most his highlights are blocks. He can improve his offense once trained by McHale or..... HAKEEM OLAJUWON.

    You don't get the nickname ASIK AND DESTROY and get a super hot GF if you're a scrub. He has potential, huge, and a great asset. Hard to find decent Centers and I'm sure Morey knows this. By now you'd think people would know how Morey works. Pshhhh
