Your record proves my point. You and a lot of posters here act like the spacing he provides is the best thing this team has going. You're a .500 team until you get a center. Playing Anderson at the 3 isn't going to give you the spacing that you value so much. That happens when he's at the 4 - which happens to be the position your franchise player plays. Anderson is a really good shooter but as long as Davis is your cornerstone, he's not a good fit unless you want to give him 20 minutes a game. You'll continue to be a fun team to watch that isn't a serious threat. Anderson needs to be next to a dominant center to maximize his true value. Davis needs someone to body up those big centers.

Agreed we are a .500.until we get a center, I would just rather keep Anderson and get the center in FA than trade him for Asik. It's not like we are going to get a title this year anyways.

I tend to agree, but that doesn't mean Anderson can't play the 4 at all. He and Davis should be the only players that get minutes at the 4.

There are 96 minutes in a game at the 4 and 5. Anderson should be played like we play Morrow now, but he actually works. Davis can play 35 minutes a game, Anderson can play 30 (2 minutes at SF), and a big, defensive, rebounding C can play 33 a game and we'd be rolling. Ryno does more than Smith. Monty's rotation with these scrubs isn't helping anyone.

We can find an average center without giving up Anderson.

And no, Anderson doesn't need to be next to a dominant center to maximize his value. He's a much better player now than he was playing with Dwight in Orlando.

Seems every fan base thinks they have a better understanding Anderson than New Orleans. Literally every postgame wrap up I read has to point out how much better Anderson would look on their squad.

The Pelicans are more than fine with Anderson and Davis playing together, because only one team has Dwight Howard.
