    Kinda agree. Wouldn't wish any long term injury on him, but a bad ankle sprain for a couple of months? Not wishing it on him but wouldn't mind if it happened, like KD. Anything worse than that is not worth it.

    In that case are Rockets owed a pick the following year?

    If we get the pick mid 1st round, that Kaminsky kid might be available. I'd pick him.

    Davis to undergo MRI on Thursday. I hope he's OK, but would not mind NO sitting him the rest of the season as a precaution ;)

    Statistically AD is crushing everyone including both Harden and Curry. 31.8 PER :eek:

    But his team is not winning. So you are right. That makes it Harden in my book, and hopefully the voters' books.

    Statistically speaking, Harden is beating him in adjusted plus/minus stats.

    They might be willing to but the trade deadline is tomorrow. They'll have to wait until the offseason if they don't make a deal by tomorrow.

    If NO does decide to trade Anderson then they'll get some value in return, not just spare parts.

    Looks to be some decent centers and pgs in the draft... at least 6 or 7 by my count. Doesnt help us this year unfortunately but next year maybe... alot seem NBA ready also.

    Man i never thought this thread would be bumped again ESPECially after the ASB but ....
    Ryan Anderson (elbow) has been downgraded to doubtful to play against the Magic on Friday.
    Not good. He was expected to play yesterday, but apparently shootaround caused a setback. Anderson is dealing with a sprain in his elbow, so that means it's a joint/ligament issue to his shooting elbow. He missed two games before the break after shooting the ball horribly in his previous game -- 1-of-11 from the field. There's a chance this issue lingers for a while and he may not play Saturday either. With Anderson out, Dante Cunningham and Quincy Pondexter will likely play a bit more, but they're not fantasy options.

    Anthony Davis (shoulder) is being listed as probable for Friday's game against Orlando.Davis was a full participant during Wednesday and Thursday's practice, and all signs are pointing towards him giving it a go tonight. His return to the lineup will send Alexis Ajinca back to the bench, however, that's not necessarily a deathblow to his value as he could pick up minutes in the second unit with Ryan Anderson (elbow) looking doubtful. Still, the demotion to the bench removes Ajinca from the standard league conversation.
