I think I understand the Bird rights concept as it applies to Asik but correct me if I'm wrong.

You are correct. Getting Asik's bird rights was a huge deal. Rather than trade out 2015 pick to dump Gordon and bid on Asik, we get Asik a year earlier and if all goes well we won't even have to outbid the market, just match the market.
