The New Orleans Pelicans said farewell to two players on July 2nd; Ryan Anderson and Eric Gordon. Gordon was the last remaining piece of the Chris Paul trade, Anderson the first significant signing after the Pelicans drafted Anthony Davis. Both players became known for three things while they played in the Crescent City. Gordon and Anderson were injured a lot. Gordon played in just 56% (221/394) of Pelicans games in five seasons. Anderson logged minutes 70% (230/328) of the time over the course of four seasons. They were knockdown shooters, which is exactly what the Houston Rockets want to add around James Harden.
