    Never liked Ryan Anderson to be honest. I have rule, dont overpay for 6'10 PF's that can only shoot, they're a dime a dozen. Seriously, we can find so many other stretch 4's for about a third of the cost.

    We can get so much more for Asik.

    Hes a great backup, which is all we really need. I love Asik, but he does deserve to be a starter on another team. This seems like a plausible deal.

    Ryan Anderson isn't half the star player that Josh Smith is, but he is the better fit with this team. His 3 point shooting makes 4/5 of this team extremely un-guardable.

    I can't see how Jeremy Lin wouldn't need to be moved as well given Anderson's salary.

    I guess we will just have to wait and see what comes of these Dwight to Houston post-moves.

    He is a role player. I'd get Smith first.

    Anderson and Lin > Smith only.

    Give us solid depth and the fit is better.

    vasquez was traded and isn't a shooter.

    and anderson is also a good offensive rebounder. i'd prefer him to smith. floor spacing would be absolutely dynamite.

    DO WANT. Much better fit next to Howard than Smith. If this went down I would like to use the MLE or flip a couple assets for a defensive big man off the bench, though

    Defense or shooter?

    I was against the Smith idea but between Anderson or Smith, I'd lean towards Smith.

    Good player but you could get more for Omer.

    YES!!! We have to extract more from NO but he fits better with Howard than Smith.

    This might just be Maury leveraging the Hawks on S&T.

    Sort of how I feel. I can't stand Josh Smith the player but I don't like Anderson as an 8 million + player.

    Shoots 7 threes a game. He's a lot more efficient than someone like Josh Smith.

    Ryan Anderson is a terrific option at the 4...but not a fan of trading within the division..
