lin & asik are not very different

the only difference is big centers are rare, while pgs are plenty. thus asik has more leverage than lin. it's not lin doesn't want to leave. he has no choice. if he threw a tantrum like asik, it would be career suicide. asik has already done a lot of damage to his own image. lin is doing his best at being professional.
the reason lin or asik has not been traded is because morey is asking too much. lin's 15m is not as big a problem as people imagine. the team that get lin will have players traded away, so there may be a few mil difference in pay in the end, but it's nothing a nba club can't handle.
