    Neither of those guys are pfs and are better than RA. You also assumed contract numbers when one of that was what we were talking about originally. Stick to the point. You're the one trying to criticize RA yet you're merely trying to copy exactly what I did to ü. So instead of providing what I asked for ü did nothing. Stop wasting my time

    This is basically a sign that we're desperate, and scared of losing Harden next year.

    Ryan Anderson is probably the worst player we could sign, and he doesn't fit our system.

    We need a PF that is a threat to pass it as well as shoot. The good teams can shut down Ryan Anderson by simply switching on the PNR. Ryan Anderson's is bad defensively off the bench, he's even worse starting. Overall net negative.

    I'm getting a sinking feeling that we are going to end up with Ryno and Lin...:(

    With Capela and Motie, (and even Harrell) do any teams offer Horford the depth at the 4/5 spots to spell him minutes?

    Could be a point of emphasis if we get to meet him.

    One of the better shooting 3 pt bigs in the league yes he doesn't fit a team that will be shooting a ton of 3s. Not sure if serious

    Ryan Anderson is a good player. He will surprise some of you if we sign him. He's gotten better at creating his own shot also.

    I really don't get the obsession with Ryan Anderson. He's basically an average shooter the last 2 years (35%), is black hole (not quite as bad as Beasley), and doesn't play defense well.

    We had a top 10 offense last year, if I recall, we don't need more offense, we need defense.

    Stick to what point? That Anderson is better than those guys when he's not? Lol, and btw it was me asking something first, not you, and you've not give me an answer. Than i just copied your "enlighten us" on purpose, this should tell you something about how you interact...anyway if you don't want to waste your precious time just avoid to answer, especially since your wacky points like "Williams is not a power forward/Deng is not a better defender than Anderson" are really making me waste time.

    no link just logic

    he is not a household name enough to decline any visitation just yet

    He has to play like that for years and establish the Top 2 Center position

    We know the Rockets did let go of Whiteside and would have wanted him back.

    Yes defense was the huge problem but funneling all the offense through 1 player won't work in the end either. Ü have to have a balance of both. Are you suggesting just adding defensive minded players only and believe that will fix these issues altogether

    I think he's good, but he's one-dimensional. I like the idea of him and Horford but still don't think it's enough to make us anything more than "competitive". And I hate what we'll have to pay Anderson.

    I bet we could Mirza Teletovic for much cheaper. His numbers aren't much different. He actually averages more 3s at a higher % than Anderson in 9 less minutes per game.

    Yeah there's just a ton of teams lined up trying to sign Williams and deng. That's how good they are right now. Ü said he wasn't even a near 40% shooter. I told ü to look again bc clearly ü were wrong so ü were just lost from the get go.
