Sixers looking to pursue Holiday in FA

I apologize if this was already brought up in another thread but according to the Lowe Post podcast the Sixers are looking to pursue Jrue this offseason and have the cap space to do it.
I'm on my phone so can't link but according to the article the Pels are fearful that he'll bolt. Doing so in their eyes would make them even more fearful that AD will be become questionable about his future here (if he's not already). He even says that AD "will do everything he can to keep him here."
He (Lowe) also insinuated that they (the Pels) could look to move Jrue prior to the deadline but most likely hang on to him and hope to resign him.
If AD wants to keep Jrue around I think you do what you can to appease your superstar, short sighted or not. However if you have a strong indication he's not going to stay deal him now and get SOMETHING in return. Don't want another Gordon or Ryno situation here.

What a shite show.
Either extend him now, or deal him for an asset/attach Asik to him.
"I have no confidence in this gasket, Jerry."

I'm sure this has been discussed, so please forgive me for asking as I don't post here much...
But what was the objective of resigning Asik and Ajinca?
Does the NBA have some sort of CBA that requires teams spend a minimum amount on player salaries and they had to ink those deals to become compliant?
There has to be a reason they committed so much money to two guys whose combined numbers this year are "DNP - Coach's Decision", right?

am i the only one who wants to somehow keep Holiday, but clean house with everyone we can besides AD and Buddy, then get a scoring SF
I feel like everyone under appreciates Jrue, I think he is just denied access to his full potential because he has two people on his team that he can actually set up shots for consistently
If the opposing defense actually had to guard people on the perimeter (Hill and DC for example) then no one could just sit in gaps and help every time Jrue tries to make a play. I just think the team would be better off at getting better sooner rather than later by having a core of Jrue/AD/SF free agent
However, without a SF free agent i think you clean house and tank to give AD some sort of hope
