    Eh there are much worse options at PF than Anderson. If he wants to win badly enough, we could try convincing him to re-structure. Pipe dream, but still possible.

    So 2 first round picks was the cost to unload Anderson stupid contract.
    Were are the Sac will trade for Anderson, they are doing great getting him?

    I doubt Morey has to pay two firsts to move Anderson... that is crazy talk... he is a good player who lots of teams wanted last summer.

    When you get into a bidding war with Sacramento, well...yeah, should probably let them have him.

    He can't shoot in Houston and everyone knows that's the only thing he can do. I believe the two first round talk. We're stuck with that fool for better or worse now and the Rockets have absolutely zero leverage to be able to move him. It will not be easy!

    I don't understand why Anderson's contract is considered such an albatross?

    He is probably the best shooting stretch 4 in the league.... lots of teams wanted him last season either in trade or FA right? I don't get it.

    He's white. Cleveland having the same issue with Kevin Love. Teams are seeing you need tough black dudes to go up against Green.

    Injury history, poor playoffs performance this year, lower than expected salary cap, and offseason just started. Once the good players are all taken, there would probably be interest in him. By then however, it would be too late for us.

    Garbage contract. That's why I have told you guys not to listen to low IQ idiots like larsv8 who claimed Rhyno's will be an easy contract to move

    Bobby Marks says he too heard two first round picks. Maybe Lowe & Marks share the same source from same two teams? :confused:;):rolleyes:

    Marks: I talked to two teams; that Ryan Anderson contract, teams are looking for two firsts to take Anderson.

    Honestly I think the best route we could go is to trade for Millsap then swap Anderson for Noah.

    Noah put up decent stats last year, but I didn't watch the Knicks (I know none of you did) so I don't have an eye test.

    You're not going to get a player/contract for Anderson that doesn't make you say "yuck" at first.
