Omer Asik is a restricted free agent and. It likely cost the Bulls $5 million to keep Asik for next season, but for a longer and more expensive deal than he may seem to be worth, presenting a dilemma: the Bulls can't really afford to keep him, but they more so can't afford to lose him
When looking around the NBA over the last decade, one can get flabbergasted at the tens of millions that bums get because they're seven-footers. It can be a complete mindrape to even see that guys like Darko Milicic and Eddy Curry even land spots on NBA rosters, let alone the fact that just about every NBA center between their rookie contract and hanging onto the ends of benches made over $5 million in 2011-12.
Asik may not be replaceable
The available centers for the Bulls to replace Asik are, according to ESPN.com (R=restricted free agent):
Jason Collins , Ryan Hollins, Semih Erden, Brian Cardinal, Ian Mahinmi, Yi Jianlian, Ben Wallace, Marcus Camby, Kyrylo Fesenko, Jordan Hill, Marreese Speights, Hamed Haddadi, Eddy Curry, Juwan Howard, Ronny Turiaf, Kwame Brown, Chris Kaman, Nazr Mohammed, Earl Clark, Spencer Hawes, Robin Lopez (R), Joel Przybilla, Hasheem Thabeet, Jason Thompson, Boris Diaw, Tim Duncan, Jamaal Magloire, Aaron Gray
