We had a shot at Asik last year. We should have pulled the trigger on that one.
I'm still unconvinced we won't get another shot at him if we want him.
I am hoping so. I think he has been doing a great job on Aldridge. He is a very smart defender. He doesn't look flashy doing so like some but he can be very effective.
But he may cost a bit more than what he was last year.
I really thought (IIRC Bass, Lee and a pick) was a bit of an overpay, but something we should have just went through. Asik is one of them Centers who can protect the rim and control the boards. I understand you want to switch fair value, but there are not a lot of Omer Asik's in the league, we could have got him if we just willing to pay %1.35 for a $1 deal.
