    He was also stuck behind Noah and Boozer and only played 15m/game. That 3 & 5 translates to about 8 & 13 per 36 minutes.

    Don't hate on him just because he's white. He's from Turkey, so technically he's Asian! :D

    He's no where near worth the 8M rumor that's flying around though. He's worse offensively than Przybilla.

    I'd love 8/13....... but he only deserves 5M a year.

    Leonard = COTF

    Asik could step in right now until Leonard is ready. He's a young Przybilla -- impressive advanced stats.

    Maybe Asik could have a Nikola Pekovic type rise if given playing time?

    That said, don't really want to be the team to give him $8M to find out.

    Yeah, I really hope they don't get in a bidding war with Houston and Minnesota.

    Pekovic is fucking crazy. I still can't fathom his rise to a 21.4 PER last year.. But I don't think Asik will ever be close to as good offensively as Pekovic.

    They meet with Asik and Gordon this week, how do you even work that financially?

    S&T is the only way.

    Meeting with both means they are definitively trying to sign both?

    I'll bet anyone right now, if Leonard gets 25 mpg (at least 30 games), he'll get 3/5.

    Well, yeah. Otherwise it's just a waste of time.

    I don't even think there's a chance of that to be honest

    Doing things that may turn out to be a waste of time is in the job description of being a GM.

    Fucking Asians. Besides Lin and Yao, most people can't even remember any Asians that played in the league (besides Wang, but that's for different reasons). And Lin is know for 8 games.
