    I like the way this team is shaping up without Howard. Maybe McHale can teach lAsik some offensive moves.

    Yep. In a few years Asik could be Tyson Chandler-esque.

    Lin is the most underrated player, and Asik is the second most underrated player. We got it right by signing both.

    Asik will be the biggest thing to come out of Turkey since Orhan Pamuk!

    Brad Miller was all Adelman. He wanted him, not Morey. Anderson was a gambe again based on Adelman's system.


    You should have said Joey Dorsey but even then he was a rookie.

    Thanks for the info. It's appreciated.

    Hope D-Rose get's better for you guys, he's one of the few genuinely humble Super Star's left in this league.

    bro, Morey was the GM. He's in charge of personel decisions. He's got to own both of those, even if Adelman was pushing for them.

    Where is this $30 mil coming from?

    Unless I am mistaken, each of their contracts is around $25 mil, and the combined salary cap hit for the two players will be around $16-17 mil. (roughly $8 mil each).

    Am I missing something?

    i think morey's banking or gambling by the 3rd years, both lin and asik will be 3x better than they are now....?

    if not, that'll be the year morey get the pink slip.

    McHale: "No! You gotta catch it first! Catch it, then put it IN the basket! IN the basket! Uh, in-no the basket-oh?"

    Asik: "Anlamiyorum."

    McHale (to interpreter): "What'd he say?"

    Interpreter: "He said, 'I don't understand'."

    McHale: "S***, I don't need subtitles to figure that out. Asik! Come here! This ball. That basket. At least his girlfriend's hot; maybe that's why his brain's so far away. Asik, SCORE POINTS!"

    Its only 8 mil each year towards the cap. Why does it matter how much Les pays them each year if it doesn't affect the cap?
