If Benson is OK with paying X amount, then we have X amount to spend. Regardless of what counts against the cap, you know we can spend X amount. Lets say that amount is 100mil. Asik counts 8.3 and not 15 million against the cap --- even then, the Pelicans can spend only 85 million after Asik. They cannot spend 92.7 million.
I'm cool with spending for Asik, but no matter what, the opportunity cost is 15 million, not 8.3.
