    "Anybody that watches the games" is such an annoying statement.

    Just say "I'm right, you're wrong nanana boo boo!"

    Its not only about him hitting shots it is also how far defenders have to come up on the shooters to open driving lanes up. I'm not saying that he is worth the money he makes but we cant just trade him to get rid of him. We have to get something back that is just as important as Ryno does.

    Again.
    I doubt he will be traded

    I think we have to start thinking of what to expect from POST TRADE DEADLINE Ryno

    I think we are beginning to see a glimmer of hope
    I think Someone whispered in his ear that it ain't gonna happen
    Ryno seems to be improving

    I think the key to moving Ryno is too target three current luxury tax teams (Portland, Washington, and Milwaukee) and try to get them under the tax this year by offering to take bigger $, but shorter year contracts for Anderson.

    Ryno is currently 19m, 20m, 21m , for this and the next 2 years.

    Rockets can take back 24.57m in trades.

    Something like this turns Anderson into 3 - 2 year deals, and also saves Washington and Milwaukee a couple million dollars, in an effort to get them under the luxury tax.

    have not read through the thread to apologies if someone has already said this...

    Is it is just me or does anyone else think that other teams will not be willing to play ball with us, knowing that we are doing the trade to make a deal with LBJ possible? I remain optimistic that trading RA will happen, but really worry that other teams will not be looking to do us any favors.

    I think teams banking on the future will always be open to help a team planning for now as long as it helps them towards their goal—draft picks, salary dumps, meeting the cap minimum, etc.

    Dallas helped GSW get Durant by taking Bogut. You never know what some teams are looking to do.

    So let's say we don't trade anderson this season and in the off-season we find no trade partners. Could we buy him out and clear up space? That's if LeBron wants to be here

    Looks like Anderson has improved his game and now seems like the Rockets will not make a trade but pickup someone that maybe bought out. Still would like to see another PF/C who could help out. We will see what happens on the 8th(Thursday).

    Nope - buy outs don't prevent salary from hitting the cap.

    No, dead money will still be on the cap.

    But we will find someone to take Ryno, one way or another. Trust the process. It wont be as hard as people have made it out to be.

    Anyone notice how EG, Ariza, didnt play? Coindense? And Ryan Anderson getting all these touches all sudden... To display his ability and why he was given his contract. ???? Just a thought. Smelling something big about to go down here wedsnday..

    I don't know. He's trying again, anyway. He had a good showing against Cleveland, but Road Ryno far outshines Home "Hot New Wife" Ryno. We'll see.

    He nailed the Harden recovery time from the hamstring citing "sources close to Harden"
