Report: Rockets sign Asik offer sheet
http://goo.gl/YAykE
As expected, the Houston Rockets have reportedly signed free agent center
Omer Asik to an offer sheet worth $25.1 million over three years. The Chicago
Bulls will now have a three-day window to match the deal.
Asik, 26, had been on Houston's radar since last season when the Rockets
insisted Asik be involved in a deal that would have sent shooting guard
Courtney Lee to Chicago.
The Rockets' deal has a 'posion pill' included in it that will make Asik's
deal worth almost $15 million in the third and final year. He would make
around $5 million his first and second year, respectively.
Earlier this week the Rockets signed point guard Jeremy Lin to an almost
identical contract. The New York Knicks, who brought in point guards Raymond
Felton and Jason Kidd this off-season, did not match the deal which also had
a similar 'poison pill.'
That 'pill' has made it more difficult for the Bulls to match Asik's offer
sheet. Chicago will owe Derrick Rose, Carlos Boozer and Joakim Noah
approximately $47 million in 2014-15. The Bulls are also looking to extend
Taj Gibson and eventually Luol Deng (a free agent in 2014), so paying a
center with career averages of 3.3 points and 4.7 rebounds $15 million
becomes difficult to justify.
The Bulls have wavered on whether or not to match the offer. They are
reportedly looking to stay under the luxury tax, which they would go over if
they re-sign Asik, but general manager Gar Forman also insisted the team
would make "basketball decisions" this off-season, not "financial decisions."
Asik would give the Bulls a defensive stand out on the second unit behind
Noah, and he has room to improve offensively.
The Bulls signed 3-point specialist power forward Vladimir Radmanovic to a
one-year deal yesterday and reportedly are interested in free agent center
Darko Milicic.

繼林書豪的爆約之後，簽Asik再度使用爆約。
今年公牛不像是以Forman所說的「籃球考量」來操作球隊，明顯是「財務考量」，
所以理應不跟進。
公牛目前不知在幹麼，火箭則更是離譜，先清空再來搶。
