    If we lose him, for nothing, where are those 30 minutes a game going to go?

    We are going to give all 30 of those minutes to Ariza, Tucker and Luc? Guys that we already have been talking about trying to keep their minutes down.
    None of those guys would be able to have the rebounding that Anderson brought against GSW this year- 13 in our last game and averaged 9 in the 3 games against them. And we would be committed to constantly playing a an undersized PF for the rest of the season, even if we meet a team like SAS in the playoffs.


    I'm not saying Anderson is crucial to what we do. I'm not saying that we shouldn't trade him if there is some kind of option to try to upgrade or replace him.

    But I am saying that we are too good and too close to being championship contenders to lose him for nothing

    let’s see what Morey gets in return for him 1st, but if we can get rid of him now, we should

    I doubt Morey will trade him and not bring in another PF on an expiring or less sh*tty contract to soak up minutes

    the goal is probably to turn Ryno into easier contracts to get rid of this summer...he can afford to do this because Ryno is playing like garbage and doesn’t really affect games for us

    If the team doesn’t do something in the win now realm harden and cp3 are going to be extremely pissed, and rightfully so

    Does it make Rockets better? More trades are necessary.

    honestly would of thought people would understand the significant role of an actual stretch 4 in this offense, when hou went through years of the likes of jones, dmo, jsmith, beasley trying to play that role with their terrible attempts

    The summer of Carmelo was absolutely out of control. Imagine these boards this upcoming summer when we have our meeting with LeBron.

    Yeah, he makes some nice hustle plays here and there, grabs some rebounds, but on offense he's actively hurting the team whenever he passes up an open look. I don't recall if it was an Anderson play or not, but a couple of nights ago I remember one of the Rockets passing on an open shot and the camera cut to D'Antoni on the sideline, sitting in a chair with an exasperated look on his face, telling the guy next to him, "You have to shoot the ball." Anderson is doing that almost all the time now.
