On Wednesday Oleh took a look at how much it might cost to sign Omer Asik. As usual when discussing Asik the trench lines were quickly dug in. Asik is a negative on offense (not nearly as much as you might expect during the second half of the season), his defense is overrated, he can only rebound, he is not getting better on offense. All the typical positions in the anti-Asik camp.
Of course, many of these positions are unfounded. Asik's ORtg has increased for four consecutive seasons according to Basketball Reference; going from 97 in 2011-12 to 112 as a Pelican.
