Asik, I agree with on this list...but very skeptical of lots of people on the list. Demar Derozan is overpaid and a bad contract!?!? 90% of the league would easily sign him on the same deal.

I find it funny that Asik is only considered the second worst contract for a Center.

Right that one is a bit puzzling the rest make sense

Everything that is written about Asik is !00% dead on right. The Pels had no business offering him even league minimum. I ask you again why is Demps still here?

Get used to it he won't be leaving until next year off-season at the earliest.

The entire premise on why the author put him on that list is because he is "unplayable". Which to anyone paying attention to this franchise would know is fairly recent. As this author himself pointed out, his deal is relatively cheap compared to the others.

As I've pointed out before, at the time that cheap contract was signed, Asik was playable. He had a decent year here under Monty. To say anything else is revisionist BS.

I'm not the biggest Dell defender, but he did get DeMarcus Cousins like 6 months ago. Does that not count for anything in your book?

[Andynola]

To be fair the article says Asik has 3y/$33m remaining and the actual number guaranteed is closer to $25m.

Well we should trade him for someone else on the list

[Silver Nail]

QUESTION:
Would anyone be up for a trade idea? Try this:
Pels get NOAH, KRISTAPS, L THOMAS
Knicks get OMER, E MOORE, SOLO

In what world do you think that actually happens?

It is both sad and hilarious how many guys on that list are players we were either rumored to be interested in, or players that posters here - myself included - were/are interested in. Some contracts are undeniably awful, like Noah, but there were several on the list that are 'I bet that guy would be different in different circumstances' players. Fans can talk themselves into almost anything. And players just often enough turn what was a bad contract into a good one by developing something new in their game late.

Well I read that they wanted to get rid of Noah and would consider KP in such a deal

And Phil Jackson drafted Porzingis. So what? Demps misses has far put weighted his hits and it has been this way over more than enough tims span where he should have long been gone. So yes getting Cousins was great, but it was a bandaid on a bullet wound that has unfortunately lead to making even more bad decision as a result to try and keep Boogie.

For scraps?

Most teams stop calling once they realized what the Knicks wanted when Jackson was "entertaining" offers.

I think from a financial point this is a good move for the KNICKS

I think it goes to show you how bad you or I or any random fan would be at being an actual GM. I'll be the first to admit that dozens of contracts around the league looked great to me at the time and ended up being awful. Plus, most GMs are in the precarious position, like Portland or Cleveland this year, where if they sit around looking for a completely fair or advantageous deal for them (to win the trade/FA signing, get an A from whatever journalist decides he wants to grade on), they subsequently get crucified for doing nothing, sitting on hands, wasting X player's prime, etc.

People have short memories. Who here wouldn't have thrown the max at Parsons after his Houston stint? Who wouldn't pay 15mil for Stephenson after his Indiana run? How about D Rose? We're all just speculating, but everyone should (as I just did) look back at all the moves you hyped that would've went horribly wrong.

Just think, if some people had their way this offseason we would be blessed with the privilege of overpaying Nerlins Noel and cutting Trey Burke.
