    The Rockets will trade everyone not named Harden if the Rockets believe they are receiving the superior player in return.

    Ryan Anderson is moveable and his contract isn't an albatross. He helps spread the floor a great deal. Having said that, the Rockets would certainly move him for an upgrade.

    My educated guess is that the Rockets would move Dekker first, probably in a deal for a young center like Nurkic.

    Anderson does cool stuff like make our offense look more fluid, drop 29 on warriors, and hit clutch 3s in epic comebacks on the road against the twolves.

    Why are so many people ready to part ways already? Moreys been salivating over this guy for years.

    Didnt yall miss him and our epic offense when he missed those games with the flu? Hes definitely an impact player and a game changer. His prescence makes the game easier for gordon and harden

    I would love for us to pick up Wilson Chandler who is on a 4 year 46.5 mln contract. I would trade Andersen str8 up for him plus give them cash

    No different than last year when everyone crapped on Dekker because he got injured. Seriously, this board is the worst sometimes.

    I just think Wilson Chandler is a better defender and rebounder. Andersen has tendency to disappear and once you make him move off his spot, he rarely hits the reset, slow drives to bucket with an impending spin move, or the Dirk one leg step back. Wilson can and does finish strong at the rim and is a better defender and rebounder.

    Dekker shouldn't be aiming at the pf, but the sf spot. IF he could defend the sf position he'd be Ariza's replacement. Again... IF!

    The hell are you talking about? Wilson Chandler is clearly the better player, which is why the Nuggets would reject the proposal.

    Underrated? Anderson is averaging 13/5 on 42% shooting. 5 rebounds for a power forward is straight up pathetic. 42% for a "big man" is laughable. Chandler is averaging more points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks while shooting a higher percentage and not to mention he is a plus defender while Anderson has trouble guarding his own shadow.

    so do you have anything to say besides reading espn's stat tab

    "42% for a "big man" is laughable". Actually this statement is what's laughable when 70% of his shots are from 3. And at 40% from there, especially for a big man is actually just an absolute luxury.

    Terrence jones


    My analysis on Terrence was nails. And still is. He's a bottom 100 player.


    Check back with me on Terrence on April 27, 2020.

    Morey signed Anderson and Gordon. But he botched on DMo bad. And he's basically boxed right now. He has to hope this team fits all the way either with minor changes or by him somehow pulling a rabbit out of a hat.

    Because there is simply no way to upgrade this team significantly this season without taking something out of our core. And that is very risky. Morey botched the handling of DMo. There's no way around it.

    Ummmmmmm, we had the ideal situation for either to happen. But Morey jerked around and negotiated too late. The while case was tainted and Silver stopped it. We list an asset for nuth'n because Morey was trying to be too fine.

    Morey is a great GM. But his fault is he looks for too God of a deal and he waits too long for players to develop.

    Not at all, if anyone at all is willing to come here, we can make it happen. And we can win 60 games in the meantime. It's incomprehensible that you see this as a tight situation. Also, he voluntarily let D-Mo go. He didn't botch anything. He had the guy locked up and THEN let him walk. There is literally no situation perhaps in NBA free agent history more indicative of having control than the strange way it happened with D-Mo. We told him to go home when it was time for the physical. Then we withdrew our offer that he could not refuse.

    There was not going to be a significant way to upgrade this team this season, and look no further than your own example that we could have had Bledsoe. That was the ceiling, and what a depressing one it would have been if we had gone that way. We'd be sitting here with yet another team who's two best players can't mesh and trying to remain competitive in the playoff race.

    You are totally ignoring the context that this team is winning 72% of its games right now and we can create max space easily this summer if anyone agreed to come here. The fact that a 72% team can't make a major upgrade mid season is so insignificant. 100 times out of 100, every GM would take this situation we're in over having Bledsoe or placing an untimely bet on D-Mo's back. D-Mo may turn out to be worth $7m and maybe not, and we don't need to be the ones to take that risk.

    We are talking about a team with candidates for GM of the year, coach of the year, MVP, newly signed sixth man of the year and most improved record. Come on now. You are not sitting here making the argument that because so many of our pieces are now instrumental to winning 72% of our games, and the remaining ones are not great assets to make a big upgrade id season, that it means the GM botched the signing of a player who looks like he will not hit peak form by the trade deadline.
