Debrief Discussions: New Orleans Pelicans lose Anderson and Gordon

Rory Callais (@Rory_Callais): Whew. It has been a monumental NBA free agency weekend, but between the seismic Kevin Durant move and the recent New Orleans Pelicans signings, two important Pelicans-related moves may have gotten buried in most people’s Twitter feeds: Ryan Anderson and Eric Gordon both went to the Houston Rockets in separate deals (four years/$80 million for Anderson and four years/$53 million for Gordon). A year ago both (well, at least Anderson) were considered “core” players, and now it appears the Pelicans did not even attempt to retain either one this offseason.
