    well if HOU really offer an average of 8 mil per the convo with Neil will likely be very abbreviated if it happens at all

    Re: Ridiculously Expensive Agency

    can't, it's a weird situation where the first 2 yrs can only be 5-6 mil and then you can backload the shit out of the last 2 yrs

    The offer can be normal for us, and it would just be backloaded for Chicago.

    Blazers not among teams said to be visiting with Nash. Dream of subletting my place to @ESPNSteinLine crumbling.

    Re: Ridiculously Expensive Agency

    Asik is a pretty fantastic defensive player and great rebounder, even if he's not productive offensively. I'd say that a reasonable comp would be a young Przybilla.

    Re: Ridiculously Expensive Agency

    Just checked the advanced stats, and I was surprised by his rebounding percentages (over 25% Dreb%, over 20% Reb%). Very impressive, especially for a 2nd year player. Good win share figures too. I guess maybe he would be a good pickup after all.

    But not for $8M/year.

    Re: Ridiculously Expensive Agency

    Przybilla was a little better offensively, if you can believe that, and blocked shots a little more, but Asik is a better rebounder. I like Asik, I just wouldn't want to over pay for him. How much do you think he's worth? What was Przybilla's contract like when he was 25?

    But one league source said to expect Minnesota, Cleveland and Toronto to chase Batum vigorously.
