3. Omer Asik, C, New Orleans Pelicans
It seems ever since Omer Asik signed a $25.1 million, three-year deal with the Houston Rockets during the 2012 offseason, his career has been in a downfall.
While Asik had a breakout season in his first year with the Rockets, the Dwight Howard acquisition, complaints about playing time, and a trade to New Orleans where he’s stuck playing behind MVP candidate Anthony Davis has absolutely killed Asik’s value.
The question isn’t whether this guy can play, it’s the simple matter of finding the right team that can give him valuable playing time.
Considering he’ll come at a bargain price, Asik could be a dominant force on the glass off the bench for the Heat. With Hassan Whiteside’s contract expiring during the 2016 offseason, Asik provides an insurance policy just in case Whiteside leaves.
