I think the 8.3M comes of off Aminu, GS, Ely and Smith
When it says send players does it mean send players in this Asik trade or send players in another trade? If it's sending players in another trade to clear cap then that's screaming for a jrue holiday to the kings for pick trade.
@Jonathan_Feigen: Asik trade cannot be official until after tomorrow's draft, if Pels clear cap room that quickly. If not then, have to be in July.
I think this pic represents all Pelicans fans right now
"The pelican is fearsome. Take a raven, for example: it's omnivorous. It eats bugs, and seeds, and fruit, and carrion. Compared to the well-rounded citizen that is the raven, the pelican is the serial killer of birds." - Barry Petchesky, Deadspin
LOL.....it already had Asik as a Pelican on Wikipedia.
isn't Steamer already off the books since we cut him w/ like 4 games left at the end of the season?I think the 8.3M comes of off Aminu, GS, Ely and Smith
Where the hell is MM to answer all our questions!!!!

Perhaps writing a BSS article?
Even so.
Aminu = 3.7M
Smith = 2.5M
Ely = 1.3M
Babbitt = 0.981M
Total = 8.48 my friend!!!
How rude of him..
Basically if we can move something like 7 or 8 mil by tomorrow then the deal will be finalized after the draft. If not it won't be complete until July 10th I believe.. Atleast that's how I'm understanding it.

Houston Chronicle guy says top 10 protected.
He's been all over this on the twitter
Love it!

A bit disappointing. You'd think it was lottery protected at minimum...
So much for voting for Blatche or Seraphin in the MLE torny.
I Wish the pick was better protected
pj tucker time
That's a bit ewwww if true.
But I'm still waiting for all the details to surface, including this extra salary we're sending out.
All in all though, to get Asik, an absolutely ideal fit on this team, without giving up Anderson, is very exciting.

Dell Demps PLEASE get us some scorers!
Seems the pick is protected for us to keep if it is within the top 2/3 of the lotto or 20+. Houston would get in between. Does that mean it is possible we give up nothing if it falls where we would keep it?
If we don't make the playoffs next season, then we have much bigger problems than losing a pick in the 11-14 range. If we do make the playoffs (which we should), then the protection of top-10 or lottery protected doesn't even matter.
The 1st domino of the James/Melo free agent hunt. We get a starting center @ a 8.3M cap hit for a mid-low 1st rounder. Good deal to start the offseason!
this is AWESOME.
We get a top 3 rebounding and defensive center in the league, who is 27.
I remember last year when they had 3 people write articles saying if you could go with any center in the NBA for your team who would you pick, 1 guy said dwight, 1 said noah, 1 said Asik, because he is young, a phenomenal post defender and one of the best rebounders.
This is a great move.
If we resend the contracts of our free agents wouldn't that count as shedding enough salary to make this deal work?
