Pelicans trade Anderson, Cole, Gee, Perkins

Pistons trade, Tolliver, Anthony, Blake, Bullock, 2016 and 2018 second round picks.

Pelicans are heading for the lottery again this season and don't want pay Anderson the $16-18M per season he is going to get as a FA this summer. So trading him now while taking back no long term salary is their best option. In this trade they get two future second round picks and former first round pick Bullock (who has 3-D potential) . Plus they get Gee's contract off their books for next year.

Pistons need to add a back up PG after trading Jennings to the Magic. Cole provides tough defensive and championship experience to a team looking to make the playoffs for the first time in several years. Anderson provides a legit stretch-4 to play next to Drummond much like he did for Head Coach Van Gundy next to Howard. Perkins provides locker room help and brings championship experience.
