One such trade that seems to fit that description is the rumored deal between
the New Orleans Pelicans and Houston Rockets that would swap Ryan Anderson
for Omer Asik.
一项能够符合两队需求的交易传闻就是鹈鹕的Ryan Anderson与火箭的Omer Asik互换。
Rumors of an Anderson-for-Asik deal initially surfaced over the offseason,
shortly after the Rockets signed Dwight Howard, but they’re starting to pop
up again now that Asik’s departure is inevitable due to his recent trade
request.
这笔交易传闻在季前火箭签下Dwight Howard时就有风声，不过根据最近的交易方案来
看，Asik的离开是势在必行的。
Houston’s biggest weakness this season has been the play of their power
forwards. When playing Howard and Asik together didn’t work out, the Rockets
tried Terrence Jones and Donatas Motiejunas at the four, but neither
second-year player is ready to produce at a high level on a team with
championship aspirations.
火箭本季最大的问题就是大前锋的位置。双塔战术并不可行，Terrence Jones以及
Donatas Motiejunas这两位二年级生还没有办法拿出具有冠军球队的水准。
Anderson could be the solution for Houston and as one of the best stretch fours
in the NBA, he would fit in the Rockets' system perfectly since they value
threes and want to surround Howard and James Harden with shooters.
身为联盟最棒的四号位球员之一的Anderson，会是火箭非常棒的答案。他会非常适合
火箭目前的体系，尤其在他们评估过后，认为应该在Howard及James Harden身边摆出射手。
Anderson played alongside Howard for three seasons on the Orlando Magic and
they were very productive together since they complement each other well.
While Howard and Anderson weren’t particularly close during their stint in
Orlando (with Howard sometimes chewing out Anderson in a packed locker room
following losses), there’s no questioning the results. Anderson is one of
the best three-point shooters in the league, drawing his man out of the paint
and creating space for Howard. Meanwhile, Howard attracts double-teams down
low and kicks the ball out for open threes. Howard and Anderson had some of
their best statistical seasons playing alongside each other, and this move
would seemingly make Houston a better team.
Anderson在魔术曾经陪同Howard奋战三个球季，他们两个的输出非常可观。他可以帮助
Howard吸引防守球员，同时又能够有投射三分的能力，他们两个会让火箭成为一支非常
棒的球队。
While the Pelicans love Anderson and aren’t actively shopping him like the
Rockets are Asik, they would be open to moving the forward if the right offer
came along. Asik, who last season proved to be a starting-caliber center and
one of the better defensive big men in the league, might just be that offer.
而鹈鹕并没有像火箭对待Asik那样积极的出售Anderson，但他们如果有好的条件能够
匹配的话，这是有可能发生的。Asik上个球季已经证明他是联盟当中非常棒的防守大
个子。
Entering this season, it was clear that the biggest hole in New Orleans was
at the center position. Jrue Holiday, Eric Gordon, Tyreke Evans and Anthony
Davis had the Pelicans talking about making the playoffs, but it’s hard to
picture this team making any noise in the Western Conference with Jason
Smith, Jeff Withey or Greg Stiemsma starting at the five. Now, with Stiemsma
out for six to eight weeks with an MCL sprain, their frontcourt is even
thinner than before. Davis has shown that he can be one of the best power
forwards in the NBA (another reason that Anderson is expendable), but he can’
t play center.
这个赛季很明显的，中锋是鹈鹕非常大的漏洞。尽管他们球员都把目标放在季后赛，但
看见Jason Smith, Jeff Withey及Greg Stiemsma来扛中锋这个位置，在西区实在很难
达到他们的目标，尤其Stiemsma又因为MCL的伤势必须缺席6-8周，他们的前场战力会更
加吃紧。Anthony Davis证明了它可以成唯一个非常棒的大前锋，但他没办法担任中锋。
