The value in the trade, to me, is Ryan Anderson and what we get with the space we have with no Ariza and no Okafor on the roster.
I can't see how it's anything but great, but it has its detractors. Some wants the amnesty used on one and a salary dump trade on the other. I'm skeptical that the latter could have been done, but that's the main criticism I've heard.

Yeah, the trade really did more for next season than for this season because of the Lewis buyout. With that said, Lewis is turning into an end-of-the-bench type in Miami. He probably goes down as the most overpaid player in the history of the NBA.

I think the detractors had an inflated idea of what we could get for Ariza's expiring deal.
Frankly, this deal was about as good as we could get.
Doing things this way likely saved Benson around $14m in cash, given that Oak's value in an amnesty auction would have been low.
It also created roughly $8m in cap room to get Anderson as well as the minutes to put him, Aminu, and others on the court.
