    Nobody likes Ryan Anderson... just because I don't lustily pile on after every missed shot like most of clutchfans.net doesn't mean I like the guy.

    Ryan Anderson didn't matter much in the trenches... looks like wasted salary to me

    As others have said, teams will rightly ask for two firsts; Rockets should pass & just stretch the "stretch four".

    Maybe from the NY Knicks side of things they wanted that, and that would have been a huge-mega-ultra ripoff.

    A couple of bad games? Anderson has been dead weight since the 2nd half of last season, the guy cannot physically keep up on defense.

    It would take a luke skywalker's projection of Ryan Anderson playing to the value of his contact.

    yes just a couple of bad games...people were praising him for his defense right until the losing streak and injuries...before that he was statistically awesome on defense and an integral part of our historic no 1 attack shooting ridiculous ie 77% on 3pts during 5 games stretches or something...

    Only way Anderson can even be on the floor at this moment is... making some damn shots. When he missing shots and getting burned off the dribble.. Sheesh.

    He is likely stretched and Gordon is moved if we get someone like James or George to agree to come.

    Another option is to attempt to trade him for a player like Batum that has struggled.

    @DreamShook now has company on Ryno island. Stay strong gentlemen, search and rescue won’t be there for a while.

    He’s already regressed to the means in every statistical category I’ve seen.

    That’s a ridiculously low bar for a player occupying 1/5 of the cap space on a team with title aspirations that needs to improve.
