WCS would be a nice add for 10 minutes in lieu of ajinca but I doubt the PHI 2nd gets it done and we'd still need a roster spot
And even if the Philly 2nd could get it done, you might need that to move Asik, who is playing well enough in the bench defensive center role. What this team really needs as a 2nd big is basically a more athletic/smarter/faster/better rebounding Terrence Jones. Hopefully that guy just got sent to Spurs school. Especially with the slow start patience is in short supply, but staying flexible is the important thing. Burning assets to change bench pieces won't change the win total much but it will make it even less likely you can make a move for the kind of player that will change the win total.

asik at least isn't an on court negative and he does have a role even if most fans don't see it. i don't see a reason to burn an asset to move him at this point, especially since there's such a down market for what he can do
I think if they can figure a rotation where holiday stays on the floor and moves to the two when needed (can't play Frazier anywhere but at point) the defense should improve and he's a way underrated shooter. IF Evans gives you anything he can carry the second unit on offense and hopefully cut davis' minutes some. to me the black hole is ajinca and they just don't have anyone that can hold down the lane without fouling or getting hopelessly out of position
anything they could get in the middle would be an upgrade
right now they need roster spots and I agree with corndeaux that Moore/hill/Galloway/Jones are all the same player...they can't play down a position on defense and it's killing the opportunity to build a lead. Every game we've seen so far has been winnable if they could simply build a lead and let Davis take it home. As it is nearly all possessions have been such high stakes and you can't play like that night after night
they've got to figure out a way to take some pressure off the middling shooters and the best way to do that is get stops. The best place to get stops is on high percentage looks in the paint and they can't do it as constituted

I have seen you say a couple times that you can use the second to help clear Asik
It would take WAY more than that to dump him. I don't think a high second has the appeal you think it does. Look at it this way - they usually sell for 1.5-2 mil
If you took 1.5-2 mil off Asik's TOTAL salary due, would he be sought after?
