2016 NBA Free Agency: Omer Asik, the next amnesty clause candidate

The New Orleans Pelicans signed Omer Asik to a big contract this summer. Compared to other starting centers he's still quite cheap, but the general opinion is Asik has drastically under performed that contract already. As such, fans and writers alike are devising methods for the Pelicans to trade Asik away this summer to open up an additional cap space this summer. That's probably not a good idea for the long term health of the franchise.

Mason Ginsberg at Bourbon Street Shots had the various incentives of Asik's contract in December.
