    We can't move Anderson but for some reason we can get 2 stars out of Anderson.

    you'd swear we're trying to move Joakim Noah or a maxed out Roy Hibbert...Ryno's contract isn't good, but there has to be a 3rd team out there willing to take this dude...

    You would think but like I pointed out all he can do is shoot. Teams may not want his contract and liability everywhere else

    How can he be considered this much of an albatross? He's 1 of the best stretch bigs in the NBA. The threat of his jumper makes the game easier for everyone else offensively. His contract isn't great, but damn. It's not like we were the only team willing to pay him a ton of money last summer either.

    wtf does an "ace big" mean? I call bs, that makes absolutely no sense

    you can rule out every team in the east, none of them have ever heard of modern basketball. That leaves only teams that know what they are doing

    Would we have enough cap space to sign paul gasol to fill out the roster?

    I hope y'all have watched Nanu in the summer league

    Now this _holic fella wanted Nanu taking Capela's minutes this past playoffs

    Now he says Klye Whitler and Jared Uthoff are already better than Ryan Anderson

    Must be on some serious drugs the old geezer....

    No. We have no cap space. We could theoretically offer Pau (or any other player) either the BAE (1 time, around 3.5 million) or we could offer the veteran's minimum.

    Edit: You shouldn't hold your breathe though. We've indicated we are looking at minimum role players only. Specifically on Pau, he and Dan Tony don't have a pretty history.

    Is his contract still that bad after the Otto Porter and Hardaway deals?

    still, don't like the idea of Carmelo on this team, would rather have paul millsap, carmelo just brings negative impact on your team, no defense, bad shooting options, low IQ, lost athleticism, his prime is over, he is declining, why would we want him
