re: Should we? Asik asks for trade

Obviously not. But Asik's value is only going down, and he's not worth Ryno.

This thinking makes no sense. Asik's value isn't going to go down just because the Rockets are looking to trade him.

Teams who want Asik will be wanting to trade for Asik. Just because they know Houston wants to get rid of him means nothing. The Pelicans can't low ball, because if they do then Asik will end up on another team.

That would only work if the Pelicans were the only team interested in Asik and the Rockets were desperate to get rid of him. But that isn't the case. Asik has real value.
