Highly unlikely but would be an amazing frontcourt.

You mean get rid of Asik+one or more of Gordon/Tyreke/Ryno?

Nah

We would have to make trades to clear space, but I don't know if we have any bait besides Reke. He's too valuable as insurance for a Jrue injury. Maybe we could trade Gordon as an expiring to a contender. I'm all for this though

Get this idea out of your head right now. Going after any $20 million player besides a superstar like KD isnt' worth the cost. To clear that much cap space you have to let Asik walk, drop the MLE, Ajinca's bird righta and Gordon.

DeAndre Jordon or Goran Dragic
vs
Asik/Gordon/Ajinca/Gerald Green

It is not nearly as simple as "replacing" Asik with Jordan. And that's assuming you can dump Gordon. If you can't dump Gordon then you have to dump Tyreke or Ryno and since they make less than Gordon you'd have to sacrifice Cole and Pondexter as well.

No. We should get rid of Asik though.

If Deandre showed interest in us then we'd be foolish not to at least explore getting the space for him. But he more than likely will not and it certainly wouldn't be worth it to lose Asik+Gordon and the MLE for a chance at him.

I don't think you know how the cap works

I just want to see what happens with a healthy core that we have now.
