Most trade rumors swirling around the Pelicans involve power forward Ryan Anderson. Many people believe that the best move New Orleans can make would be to trade him for a more rounded big man.
However, I have to disagree. Though Anderson certainly is a liability on the defensive side of the ball, he has been one of the few consistent producers for the Pelicans. For a team apparently not interested in a rebuild or maybe even a step or two back, where is the logic?
Anderson is the Pelicans’ second leading scorer with 16.
