Asik for a Ryan Anderson type (probably through a three way trade) is very doable.
Asik for Jeff Green straight up is another possible trade.

With the contract they gave Asik, they could have easily in the past 2 years paid that same kind of money for a stretch 4.
This team needs assets who can pick and roll. Harden, Lin, and McHale thrive on it. Asik is NOT good at pick and roll. And guess what... Howard hates the pick and roll too. Because he's a terrible shooter and he belongs in the post. And there are rumors that he not only bitched about it in LA, but refused at times to run it. Has anyone even thought about that?
The team is stacking players with no thought to how they work together. Howard doesn't belong in a pick and roll offense, nor does Asik. And if you take away the pick and roll, you limit a lot of what Harden can do. So what offense will they run?
