Wizards have engaged Rockets and Pelicans in three-team deal to facilitate Trevor Ariza going to the Rockets and Omer Asik going to NO.

David Aldridge @daldridgetnt · 2m
Wizards will take non-guaranteed contract of Melvin Ely from NO & get $8.5M TPE for Ariza, who will do sign and trade to go to Houston.

Pelicans will get Asik, Omri Casspi & 1.5M from Houston. Rockets get Ariza from Wizards, Alonzo Gee and 2015 protected first from Pelicans.

so to summarize... we get a starting C... a player who can fill the gap in our SF situation and didn't have to give up any of Ryno/Rivers/EG/Babbitt/Withey

ETA: take Babbit out of that b/c we may still have to give him up somehow to make this happen... but still we kept the big pieces

Is this the trade MM was talking about? Also, if I remember correctly Omar Casspi and Big Turk are good friends.

The fact we got this done without giving up even Ajinca or Babbitt is damn impressive.

@MasonGinsberg: Gee + Ely = $4.3 million. Asik + Casspi is $9.5 mil. #Pelicans need to send out $6.3 mil to take in $9.3. Still missing something.

we still have room to sign another 3, right?

So far we have

Jrue/Russ
EG/Reke/Rivers
Casspi
AD/Ryno
Asik/Ajinca

under contract, right?

it'll apparently be either Ajinca or Babbit (if I'm reading things right as of now... more than likely it'll be Babbit)

How many minutes will we realistically need a true SF?

We will have to have rotations with Ryno/AD/Asik and Jrue/EG/Tyreke

Casspi can provide a solid 18-20 minutes there.

Omri Casspi is also not a meaningless part of that deal. Decent player.

Who is guarding the 3s though?

Casspi and Ryan Anderson are almost the same player.

casspi's a career 42 percent shooter from the corners. yes please


Looks like a good fit considering our cap situation. Would still love to add a Marion type with the exception.

Ya Marion or Garcia would be great additions. I would still like to hang on to Babbitt and Withey as well. I'm okay with getting rid of AR if we must.
