As the resident Pelicans fan, I like Asik but I hate this trade, just like I hated the Holiday trade last year. Depending on the results of tomorrow, meaning if we make any trades or not. This will give us 3 straight years without draft picks, and the 2014 and 2015 drafts both seem to be pretty strong. Asik doesn't make us a contender, so we are stuck in basketball purgatory with no assets.
We're at the place where either, we will go to the playoffs and lose in the first round, or be right outside of the playoffs, the place no one wants to be. BASKETBALL PURGATORY. FIRE DELL DEMPS.
Jrue Holiday is a good point guard but no elite, we traded 2 top 10 picks for him. Now lets not put any names to the picks, and just look at it from the outside. Is Jrue Holiday worth 2 top 10 picks? no he is not.
We're giving 52 million to Asik, Gordon, Holiday, Anderson and Tyreke. Really? This really angers me....
Dont get me wrong I like Asik, but he doesn't make us a contender. Just as Jrue Holiday didn't last year.
In the West alone, you have Tony Parker, Stephen Curry, Dragic/Bledsoe, Chris Paul, Mike Conley, Ty Lawson, Russell Westbrook, most of those gms will pick all of those player over Holiday, in his conference alone. smh

I like Asik. A very good fit.
He's not wrong about where they likely end up record wise. It's not purgatory or whatever, but the west is so good and no one is taking the foot off the pedal.
Not getting lottery protection bothers me. Very possible they win 15 more games and miss the playoffs. And we're doing this all over again.
Terrible fit under Monty. He thrived in an uptempo, let it fly system after being useless in Indiana. I like him (cupcake dunk forever) but no thanks right now.

Jesus, people over value the shite out of draft picks... The only thing that concerns me is that there's only 1 year left on his deal, but I doubt they would make this move without thinking that an extension is likely.
Green and a 1st probably isn't splashy enough for most people, but he'd fit in perfectly here. Like others said, that deal really depends on what we do with the 1st. If throwing in a 1st is enough to dump Gordon, then it's a great deal.
