They could have gotten a contract done the previous season, knowing what big men go for in the NBA on the open market.
Right, that is the part that bit them in the ass, refusing to negotiate contracts under current contracts.
But hindsight is 20/20, because the previous offseason Asik was recovering from a broken leg and had a pretty mediocre first season despite his defensive prowess. It wasnt like the Bulls were going to offer him 5 mil per anyways.
