Alexis Ajinca and Omer Asik were mistake signings but Pelicans focus should be elsewhere

The New Orleans Pelicans current assets are in limited supply and they have ill-fitting pieces on the roster, but they do have two superstars in Anthony Davis and DeMarcus Cousins. So, should the team prioritize in ridding at least one of Omer Asik/Alexis Ajinca, keeping all of their future draft picks or thoroughly examining the trade market to improve the roster?

Jason: If I was asked this question at the beginning of the season, I would have quickly preached trading away Omer Asik. However, I am now convinced that his waste of space will eat up the entirety of his guaranteed money before the Pelicans waive him and he then signs with a championship contender for the veteran’s minimum.
