Asik turns 29 in 3 days...
Lets not freak til we see the contract, money, incentives, and if the 5th year is player or team option. Dell is very good with the cap. See ryno and tyreke.
If we sign Asik to say a 10mill yr deal how much $ would be left to spend taking in account Asiks "cap exceptions" associated with his contract? Anyone know
Good point. I can't lie, I was pretty irked about the Anderson deal at first. Obviously it was a steal in hindsight, but I was too fresh from those damned Peja heads to think clearly about it. The only bad deal Dell has ever signed was the Gordon match, but I think a majority of us agreed that it was a necessary evil at the time. Even that deal is looking pretty damn sweet for us right now.
Agreed, and with gordon, that was a contract u had to match. Gordon was viewed as a 22 point 4 assist per game player with good defense at only 22 years old. If not for injuries he would have been the next great sg. Dell made the correct move, it just didn't work out. But it did land us this game named anthony davis.
Damn you Dell...
5 years for Omer? Yuck.
I'm afraid we didn't really have a choice though.
I hope that contract is not so big that it influences Asik's role on the team. It's good to have a guy like him on the roster but there are a lot of intriguing lineup combinations available to the Pelicans with Asik on the bench.
Omer Asik is finalizing a five-year, $60M deal to return to the New Orleans Pelicans, league sources tell Yahoo Sports.
5/60
Keep in mind we don't know the options or guaranteed amounts yet.

Had a bad feeling it would be 60. That's bad.
yuck
5 years wth? I'm fine with 12m but not at 5 years I feel like that is way too long. If he turns out to be what he should though I guess the 5 years isn't a bad deal at all. We have a legit center who can take the beating off of Davis and will be 33 when the contract expires. So by the end of the contract is right when he would most likely start declining. It's not my favorite deal but it's not a bad one and could be a very good one depending on how he looks in this system.
