    In the regular season, yes. Come playoffs... that will be hard. He'll have to be scoring really well to be worth it.

    6 man rotation. LOL. MDA.....wyd!

    Honestly, the Rockets need to find "8" players that are NBA Playoff rotation worthy if they are going to overcome GSW.

    Turning Ryan Anderson's contract into one of those "8" has to be a priority for Morey.

    Completely unplayable against the Warriors (in the playoffs).

    They'd isolate him on every possession and scorch him and he wouldn't even break a sweat , you'd be better off running Anderson out there who would at least "Try" to play some defense.


    Melo might help you get to that series with the Warriors ….. but once you get there he's totally unplayable.

    We technically had the 8 if CP3 and LRMM were 100.

    Steve was able to squeeze in some filler time with his scrubs to spell their injuries.

    Ryno's head mounted at the Lexus Lounge would be a better use of 20 million.
