    PG could happen but it wouldn't be now. That would be a right before the deadline trade when the Pacers are desperate and want to get at least something for him before he walks

    That is what I'm worried about. Also, we can't just have CP3 & Harden to compete for the title.

    He was solid I had been wanting a stretch 4 forever.

    But he's expensive to other GMs maybe around $12-14mill a year he wouldn't be

    At this price he would need to be lights out from 3 during playoffs and a solid defender or solid rebounder.

    Because Danny Ainge is a tightwad. Whom I think his plan is to weather the storm of GSW(and the Cavs) rather then try to win now, so they aren't throwing away assets for upgrades at the moment.

    Wiltjer coildve provided the same amount of space. I'm sure he would've knocked down more 3s playoffs

    Nikola also

    That "Ryan Anderson is getting paid $19 Million" thread was like the Sword of Damocles hanging over us all season

    Ryno couldn't hit a shot against OKC and is only Road Ryno with no D and almost no boards.

    I don't even want to trade for him, let them buy his ass out.

    If he gets bought out he'll probably go to the cavs and we waste hardens prime while GS and the cavs dominate for the next 5 years

    Ryno is overpaid. I think that much is obvious now. You are limited with what you can do with your roster with him tying up 20 mil. He's not good enough to even be a semi star
    And the problem is, when his shot is not falling he doesn't bring anything else to the table. He becomes a net negative.

    If the Rockets want to add a third star the best way to do that is going to be to move Ryno.

    It's not so much about Ryan Anderson's 3pt percentage in the regular season or even the shots he missed in the playoffs. It made James Harden more effective, having a guy out there who had the gravitational force of a Ryno, pulling defenders out to have to be able to prepare for a 30ft three pt shot that he could regularly made.

    I think Harden will be just fine without Ryno.

    I'd only get melo if we had a chris paul or a lebron james to keep him under control, funnily enough we have a chris paul!

    The witch hunt against Anderson needs to stop.

    He is a useful player, maybe slightly overpaid, but he performed exactly as he always has in the past.

    Naw he choked. Played well in one game against GS in the playoffs for the pelicans though.

    I agree wholeheartedly, but his shot percentage going down for home games is still a mystery

    Wiltjer also can't jump and if you think ryno is a bad defender/average rebounder you should see wiltjer play... NO WAY you can play him against San Antonio
