    Dump Crabbe/Patty for Lin/Booker and then call it a day.

    Dame/Lin/Bazz
    CJ/Turner
    Ariza/Aminu/Layman
    Anderson/Vonleh/Booker
    Nurk/Collins

    This might be the best one, yet!

    Also agree with what Nate's been saying .. Neil and Paul aren't looking to shed salary (as a main priority), they want to win now! We've got no money in the FA market and Neil will look to lurk as a third team this summer and acquire talent that we, in regular situations, wouldn't have been able to obtain.

    I think Anderson would work well in Stott's system, but for 20M a year?

    And it would be great to get rid of Meyer's contract, but I wouldn't be happy about trading Harkless.

    I think BKN will have Porter matched and then we'll work on trading them Crabbe.

    NY won't do that. That's the whole reason why we're getting involved. They don't want an old vet on a huge contract. If they were willing to do that trade, they wouldn't need us.

    Neil could be thinking - we need production out of that position for a couple years until either Collins or Vonleh develop. I don't like it either, but I think Anderson could be money in Stotts' system.

    And it's not enough.

    Melo = $26 million

    Meyers/Harkless = $20 million

    Anderson = $19.5 million

    Aside from injuries what's your problem with Anderson?

    He's a very competent floor spacer.

    Can't be argued that if healthy he is a big improvement over Meyers in basically every category.

    Plus I feel for what he's been through. I know that Shouldn't be a qualification, doesn't make it any less true.

    If it's Crabbe/Meyers for Anderson/Ariza/O'Quinn I could live with it. One shitty contract for another shitty contract at a position of need.

    If it's Harkless/Meyers for Anderson..... that's really trading two contracts that I think are easier to stomache, for a shitty contract of a player that's really not that good.

    Ariza will not be in this deal. He is very good friends with CP3 and played a good role in getting him to come to HOU.
