What would you give up to get rid of Asik's contract?

Just curious from afar what it would take for the Pelicans to unload Asik's contract (or what you personally would be willing to include to get rid of the guy)? Or do you want to keep him?

The 2nd round picks. For sure.

I hate his contract, but that's more about it's fit with the team long term than it's value around the league. With the cap escalation over the next 2 years, I don't think it's crazy to think you can give him away like the Spurs did with Splitter in 2017, so you shouldn't pay anything to move him this year, and he also can be useful for the next year or 2. Short of some sort of Tyreke and Asik to Brooklyn trade, you keep him for now and try and move him later once AD can either shoulder more of the load at center or some cheaper options become available, like actually using a draft pick on a center.

I would give up Tyreke to move him for an expiring and some small asset. Use the room to go for Batum, Barnes, or Bazemore. Not interested in just giving up picks to ditch his contract.

The Blazers and the 76ers (barely) are the only two teams that could absorb his contract completely without getting anything in return. I don't know if the Blazers would do it for anything less than a 1st rounder in 2016 (maybe top 3 protected) thrown in as well given there is still a lot of money left on Asik's deal after this season and I don't even know if they would do that.
Combining Asik and Tyreke would put whatever team got them on the hook for over 20 million next season and most likely eat a good portion or all of the cap space this summer. Is Tyreke worth that trade off for other teams?
