The New Orleans Pelicans have been linked to both Greg Monroe and Kenneth Faried this summer and there is very good reason for this. Omer Asik, brought in to be the team’s mainstay at center to allow Anthony Davis spend most of his minutes at power forward, has sorely failed to live up to billing during his first two seasons with New Orleans.
From his offseason comments in June, Dell Demps recognized this fact but claimed the franchise still had expectations for the once highly regarded defensive center.
