    But even then they'd still need to dump Anderson for better pieces or at least more absorbable chunks. There is no way Cavs give up Bron and then take in Anderson in exchange lol.

    You will still need to trade Anderson. You think Cavs will trade Lebron and take back Anderson when they have Love and TT? They would probably rather let Lebron walk and start anew.

    The only reason Anderson is a starter is because of his salary. He is clearly a 20M bench player in terms of his talent. There are lots of things the Rox can do to replace Anderson, for one thing they can just split the time between Tucker and Green.

    PF: Tucker/Green
    SF:Ariza:Luc

    What the hell is wrong with that rotation? You think the Rox are gonna miss Anderson's 10 pts and 37% 3 pt shooting? LOL thats not exactly some inescapable void of production.

    In game +/- has a lot of bias and "luck" going into it however season long +/- is a lot more consistent. Anderson's season BPM is a whopping 0.2, while last year it was actually negative. He is a scrub, period.

    No doubt.

    I will also say that after watching this team play against teams with an inside presence it’s clear we need someone in the mold of Zack Randolph or DeAndre Jordan to defend and provide some beef down low when the outside shots aren’t falling.

    any stats is useless if you're going to use it for single games

    but for the last 23 games, RA has by far the worst +/- for the rockets

    and 3FGA% goes down by 8% and FGA% goes down by 6.5%

    no wonder Morey is williing to trade him for almost nothing

    It will be a big part of Morey's legacy what he does with Anderson moving forward. One of if not the worst signing of his tenure here. Will be huge how he corrects this mistake.

    Ryno barely played in the 2nd half and didn’t play the entire 4th quarter

    he didn’t even score 1 point tonight

    but that spacing and gravity doe...

    Well, it was zero already, if not minus something so...

    Anyway, as the time goes by is more and more clear at some point we'll part ways with Ryan, in the end, it will be good for him too, i'm sure he can still contribute in another team.

    You can say that it was a horrible contract, and Morey can be criticized for that. But it's absolutely bizarre that it didn't work out here for him. The system seemed perfect for his play style, but he has major confidence issues.

    Seriously, how can someone go from being a decent player who hits shots to...to...to this?

    Gordon had it going against his former team. Anderson was with that team also and he showed them nothing. Sad.

    People, just be glad Ryno invaginated now instead of in the playoffs. It was bound to happen sooner or later. At least now we can make adjustments.
