I guess they have no plans of actually trading Asik then?

is he done?
15 minutes a night ala bill walton....

It took a long time but he looks like he's finally washed up.

Torn plantar fascia.

I'd read somewhere that Houston may try to bring him back once he's healthy (insert joke here).

Is that possible under the current CBA? Can you waive a guy under contract and then resign him that same season?

ouch! That's very painful. Too bad, I think he still has some usefulness left in him

Everyone's talking about trading Asik but they need him as a backup right now.

They could always get an inferior backup C as part of an Asik deal.  I don't think they were ever planning on Camby as a primary backup C, especially with Howard's recent injury issues. 

...and don't they still have Greg Smith?  He showed some promise as a young backup last year, and played a good bit of C early on.

I think you can if you don't negotiate some sort of buy-out when you waive him.
