Given some of the deals we have been seeing, I am thinking 3 years, $36 million is the floor of what he'll get.

I wish you're right but don't think this will happen.Originally Posted by RaisingTheBar
If we re-sign Asik, ok it's a decent center but I prefer Lopez or obviously Jordan or Chandler.
Yeah, if we could have somehow made it work in a S&T, I would have much preferred Chandler to Asik. Unfortunately, I think we are forced to re-sign him given our situation. I just hope he can be a solid contributor on a Gentry team.
I wish we could have signed Gasol.

I'm predicting 4 years 45 million

With our cap space, I am assuming your not talking about Marc or Pau, but their other brother Tito.
If you Jimmer it, they will come.
Am I the only one seeing the Bucks as a likely destination for Asik? Some might underestimate his value, but he's a valueable piece, a god defender, willing to bang down low without complaining. He's that guy that the fans don't value, but the players and coaching do. Gotta resign him. Worst case, we dump him next season to open up CAP... If the Spurs dumped Spiltter, so can we dump Asik if needed.
not god, good defender*
Bucks don't have much shooting. Having MCW, Giannis, and Asik on the floor at the same time would cause a lot of traffic in the paint. They'd be really solid defensively but that offense would struggle big time.
Why were they so high on Jordan, Chandler, etc? They want an inside defender.
At least those guys are lob threats so you have to stay on their body.
So Asik is handicapped? I think he will fit very well in Gentry's system, and be worth every penny we pay him
He definitely only fits with certain teams (I just don't think the Bucks are one of them). Could effect his contract negotiations. I hope to see him back as well.

I'd imagine we'll have Asik signed sometime soon... like tonight or tomorrow

I hope he fits in the system, but I am not overly optimistic given his physical limitations in an uptempo system.
As MM points out regularly, his best season was in an up tempo system in Houston. That Asik, in that system, is the Asik we were all hoping we were gonna get when we spent a first rounder on him.
That's why I'm not too concerned about giving him 10mil. If he returns to Houston form he will be very movable if we go another direction eventually.
I don't mind 10mil for 4 yrs but fear it might be closer to 14mil per
Yeah, but I just hope he is the same player he was in Houston. I know he had some injuries he dealt with last year and I think had an issue with back spasms. However, watching most of the games, he appeared very slow and out of shape. He ran the floor like a 65 year old. Hopefully it was just an anomaly and he is able to play in the system and contribute.
What's everyone's pain threshold? How much is too much? For me, anything over 3yr/$36m is a bad deal.
Agree. If 4 yrs, no more than 40
3 years 34 mil is my prediction. Calling it now.
Hopefully no more than 3 years/$30 million. It is odd though that with all the teams looking for bigs, his name has not been tied to one other team. Either he is very content to stay here (and has indications of a number he can live with) or there is not much interest in him around the NBA.
That's livable, midway between what I hope (10mil), and fear (14mil)
3 years/$31.5 million. I'd be cool with that, especially if is declining.
