Davis was a monster v GS playing almost exclusively at the 5. He is especially suited to the 5 in the modern era. That doesn't mean you don't have a "5" on the roster, but Davis is a 5 in the playoffs, the way Tim Duncan has been since Robinson retired. A guy like Asik can't stay on the court in May/June because he can't keep up with guards coming off PnR and he can't hurt a team on offense.

But I'd much rather have Anderson at $16-$18M than Asik at $9-$10 in a $90M+ cap.

Even if they move Anderson, they won't become a good defense overnight. Problems are much deeper than that. True that 1 guy can wreck a defense, but for the Pels the past few years it's always been more than 1 guy- that includes Davis and Holiday, who have their own issues defensively. Yes, Anderson has physical limitations that will hurt him on defense, but he can hurt teams on the other end, even if he's missing shots. Gravity is real. And 1 guy can screw up an offense- Tony Allen, Splitter, Sefalosha (OKC version) are all a testament to that.
