Yeah guys, I'm not saying he's the first that ever played a 4 that can shoot. But he is the 1st to use it almost exclusively.
Meh. I mean, I get it: he's a big that can shoot, and for a team shoots as many 3's as we do we're not nearly good enough at it. I get it. But there's nothing about his game that's remarkable. Hell, even his shooting percentages aren't what you would expect for somebody people sell as a marksman.

I'm starting to turn on the whole free agent process. I had a feeling we'd end up with an overpaid scrub like Anderson and be stuck listening to Morey try and spin that sh#t into gold.
So do they meet with Anderson tomorrow and say "Here's the amount we will offer you if Bazemore and Horford decline our offer"? Or do they make an offer to him and if he accepts, pull the offer to one of the others?
I'm sure we set these meetings awhile back (even if the league looks the other way about teams making contact with free agents to do so). So this might just be due diligence. Besides, Horford can always say, "I love you, Houston! Take me! TAKE ME!", and then proceed to pull a Bosh or DeAndre Jordan on us.
