    The goal is to win games and you start the dude that helps you win games.

    Anderson's trade value can't get any lower at this point, you don't sacrifice games just to pump his confidence or w/e.

    Anderson's trade value CAN get lower. As soon as you start saying he's not a starting-caliber player, his trade value drops immediately. Albeit, it's not that much lower.

    Also, he can't average any numbers without getting minutes. We can't trade him low, we gotta trade him as high as we can. How can he get higher in trade value if we stop giving him minutes or take him off the starting lineup?

    Remember that we traded away Corey Brewer + 1 rounder for Lou Williams. Until we did, we were yelling at our TV sets trying to tell McHale and JB Bickerstaff to stop giving this dude minutes. Still got 15 min on average and the trade was great for the team even if we lost a pick.

    Like I said, I prefer that we get rid of him, and I don't even mind sending him to the D-league. It just WON'T happen.

    I can predict that as long as Rockets is run by Moray, we're gonna continue to start him and give him substantial minutes.

    I think Luc should stay in the starting lineup and Ariza should come off the bench. Of course I know that won’t happen because of loyalty, but I feel it’s better for the team. Luc is better defensively and is a more consistent shooter than Ariza.

    Like I said he was a monster on the Clippers. Great 3 & D player. The perfect role player.

    Feel like he's going to be a lock for our MLE next offseason, or at least a good chunk of it. He's playing too well to not receive a contract offer similar to Tuckers from some team.

    Lol he got minutes tonight, you think his 5 pt scoring is gonna up his trade value? Just because he gets mins doesn't mean his trade value goes up, if he plays like trash it'll go down even more.

    Brewer is different from Anderson because Brewer is only 7M and an expiring while Anderson is making 20M this year and will make 21M next year and 22M the year after. With a deal like Brewer it is small enough you can convince teams to take a chance on him if he ups his value a little bit. Anderson would have to increase his scoring to 18 pts a night and he isn't gonna be able to do even with mins because he is a mental midget.

    If the whole team was healthy Luc and Ariza should be starting and Anderson and Green should be coming off the bench. Its really that simple.

    We desperately need him to be fully healthy. Go Luc!

    I like this dick, he is our most positive value in our team on both defence and offense. We need him to beat Warriors

    Not to mention, Ariza has the most awkward dribble in the team. Ariza just has a better quick trigger. If he has a little daylight, he's shooting it

    Luc , tucker and cp3 are a big change to help us to beat warriors. Even we have luc williams and Beverley, those are not the x factor. These 3 guys are better than those LA 7 guys. Morey buys Green is an unexpectable good trade. It needs to continue upgrade trading those unuse players or using money or draft picks, even needs to pay tax. It is worth to pay this year. We have high chances to get champion this year
