    Sports Radio 610 just said that the Rockets and Derek Anderson have agreed that he needs to be traded. Intersting this comes after his meeting with JVG.

    How many games did this joker play? Why won't we play him? This whole thing is getting so confusing and smokescreen.

    Probably barely anything. I'd be surpised if we could even get a Bogans caliber player out of a deal. DA is practically washed up. So unless we fold him into a larger deal sending out expiring contracts, I don't expect much in return.

    Trying to think of a contender or playoff hopeful that can use a swingman back up...

    This sucks. I liked DA. Sounds like another case of a player in JVG's doghouse. I can't stay the way that man runs this team.

    Wuuaaaaah! The JailBlazers payed me a bazillion dollars to go away, and now mean ol' Van Grumpy won't play me, just because my shot stinks and I can't even guard a rosebush without getting injured for half the season! Wuuaaaah!

    :rolleyes:

    This guy's career is officially over.

    What a waste of a roster spot. We might get a bag of crap for him... :mad:

    I think we could get something for him because his salary is very reasonable. He could give a playoff team instant offense off the bench. A team like the Lakers, Pistons, Heat, or the Nuggets. I think he will traded for the Nuggets or Pistons for 2 future 2nd round picks.

    I didn't like his game anyway. How many wide open perimeter shots did he miss?

    Yeah, but only for the man he's guarding.

    Derek Anderson, turning scrubs into heros.

    Exactly. I guess the meeting went out of control and both lost their mind.

    Isn't this the same guy who said he'd rather compete for minutes on a good team (rockets) rather than be a handed a starting spot on a bad one (Lakers)?

    Who the hell does he think he is? He's not there for the team when we need him, and now that there's a little adversity, he wants out.
