Well, now we have a solid target for how much cap space the Celtics should want to have to sign Asik next summer.
Next season we'll be adding another lottery pick (ours) and another 1st rounder (Clips) and we'll have enough cap space to go after a player like this
and we'll be able to package Rondo + Wallace's expiring for a max player. The only way we can mess it up is if we go for players like Gortat
this year due to impatience and lose out on the lotto pick and the cap space. If we want to be competitive, we need to let players like this tie up OTHER team's cap space, not ours. I don't want to be the Boston Knicks.
