Negative. Anderson is a better player on a better contract.

How do you measure "better". Asik is great on defense and not great on offense. Anderson is great on offense and not great on defense.

And it depends on team needs. Anderson is a PF. Davis is also a PF. So unless you don't plan on getting a real center and plan on pushing Davis to the center spot when Anderson is on the floor so that they can both be useful at the same time, it doesn't make sense to keep Anderson.

Plus, what the Pelicans lack is defense. Asik and Davis front court would be filthy.

And as far as contracts, the cap hits are almost exactly the same.

I think it is a good trade for both teams.

Would you rather

2015 1st

or

Dump Gordon using 1st (Charlotte) + Sign Gortat + Sign Ariza


I'll take the first over that haul

One year of Asik for $15M total v 2 years of Anderson for $17M

Otherwise you're spot on about their respective values

It's better for Huston. If we do the trade teams would double Davis and Asik would clog the paint for Tyreke, Jrue, and AD to drive to the lane.
