Because he is a solid rebounder and won't clog the lane offensively for AD to feast. People will have to take him to account on the offensive end unlike Asik or really even Ajinca.
He's also on a favorable contract in today's NBA and is only 25.

preface- he's a fine player. i like him, but not buying the fixation on him being a great fit next to Davis i've seen in some other posts.
the rebounding doesn't impress me too much- Kevin Love, for example, has been a terrific defensive rebounder and no one confuses him with being a good defensive player. the pels were a top 5 DREB team last year and a horrid defense.
offense is nice and a need right now. but the bigger Pels offense issue is perimeter play. and you don't need a stud offensive player at the 5. if Asik could catch lobs (vertical floor stretching matters too) or even just finish open layups/dunks, he would be good enough on offense
that's the best argument for him as a fit on this team. he's a fine, young player on a great contract. nothing wrong about that
i wouldn't be foaming at the mouth if they made a move (assuming it isn't a lottery pick). just don't think he's the answer to any serious questions for this team.
