Asik's contract isn't nearly as bad as you're making it out to be. Bad for the Pels long term yes, but not bad for the league and what tier he's in. Just wait for Mozgov and Zaza to get paid more than Asik this offseason when the cap escalates another $20 million, then the next year the cap escalates $20 million again and the 2017 crop of centers will get paid even more. Asik will be looking pretty reasonable in the 2017 offseason. You should be able to unload him for much less than what it would cost to unload him now.

As for which trade I like, the first one. You get a wing prospect which we need and a competent big.

It was graded as a "D" or an "F" by most analysts and that was before Asik has continued sucking all year long.

And I don't think these FA bigs are going to get as much as you think they are. The NBA has changed dramatically in the past 2 years. Monroe is twice the player that Asik is (actually, he's 2.3 times the player that Asik is) and even he didn't exactly break the bank last offseason. Just proves what a shitty contract it was to lock up Omer for that long and for that much.

The "useless in the last 5 minutes of the game and fairly useless the entire rest of the game" tier?
