    Thanks for one good year.

    Won't miss your b****fit attitude, stone hands, or lack of finishing ability around the basket.

    Other than that, we'll see you around.

    :)

    I'll miss him. He's one of those guys who the pressure of the big moment never for affected. At the same time, probably one of the best big men defenders in the league.

    Onward!

    Thanks Big O. If you can hit that 15 feet jumper consistently you will be a beast.

    I'm gonna take a wild guess and say Anderson is on the trading block.

    Appreciated. It's a shame the "48 of elite rim protection" didn't work out last year though. But overall it was good.

    Good luck Omer...wishing you the best in New Orleans...

    sucks we have to play against a good center in the same conference...

    BTW..that twin tower lineup of Davis and Asik is gonna cause some issues...

    They were starting Jason Smith anyway. Anderson is going to be their 6th man. And they seem to like it that way.

    I will miss his defense and toughness. I wish he had been professional about his situation after Howard joined us. This move was unfortunately inevitable.
    Good luck to you Omer against all teams, apart from the Rockets.

    One of my prototypical favorite player types: underrated, the skills he brings like low post defensive positioning and pick and roll coverage are not thing the casual fan typically appreciates. His impact far outweighs his 'flash' factor, and now our margin for error on the defensive end - not to mention Howard getting injured or being able to take minutes off in close contests - is greatly reduced. An asset allocation reality, I suppose, in today's salary cap landscape.

    Omer - you had a great season and I admired your hustle and fundamentals.

    Then you had this season. :rolleyes:

    Seriously though, I hope the big man has a great career. He's got the tools.
