asik has the most value league wide of the 3. and asik has the best contract of the 3. the idea that we could package some veteran contracts at houston that could help them win this year in exchange for a top notch playoff caliber center with a shortterm contract who we could then potentially showcase.... it makes perfect sense.
I do not think this is just a given. Sanders may have the better contract, he is locked up for 4 years at a decent price. Asik and Sanders cost the teams in real money around the same this year + next and then Asik will demand probably at least if not higher in FA.
Around the league, Asik likely has more value to contenders but Sanders should have more value to rebuilding teams. Would you rather rebuild with a 25 year old under contract for 4 years who is happy whether starting or coming off bench or a 27 1/2 year old who either will be a 1 1/2 year rental/or want a big contract + quit on his own team
