    I think if that happened, Eric Gordon would refuse to report, retire and play in China.

    I know, they're pretty good. I don't want to trade Harkless. The blazers are facilitating the trade, I'd say Turner and Meyers or pound sand. I also think Anderson would fit in pretty well though.

    This. Well said.

    Some highlights, if anyone is interested....or if your memory is bad....





    I get it: highlights can make even Butters look like an All Star. But that's elite slashing and footwork right there. Great vision around the rim too.

    do you not see the gameplan within that? Do you not see the difference in spacing? Teams wouldnt dare Anderson to beat them the way they do with Aminu and Harkless. The warriors let Harkless take every open shot in the playoffs. They dared him to make it. Anderson must be accounted for every possession, thus opening up everything else for guys like Dame, CJ, and even Nurk on a pick and roll. The defender on Ryno will have to make a decision; leave Anderson wide open or allow the train that is Nurkic an easy road to the hoop. Yeah, both sound fun.

    Sounds like Harkless and Leonard for Anderson+whatever Neil can negotiate out of Houston.

    Yes. No chance. And not just because he is friends with Paul. I believe he is a more valuable player than Anthony so why would they trade him plus other assets for Anthony.

    Depends on the return.

    Who would be our backup SG? SF? Do you want 2 SF's who can't shoot, dribble, or create (Harkless & Aminu?)

    It's highly unlikely we trade Turner and Crabbe, IMO.

    I don't see much chance in Portland resigning him, they'll be giving Nurk a huge payday, and won't be able to afford Davis.

    I actually don't hate the idea of having Anderson. I just hate the idea of trading Moe for him.

    We get the offensive advantage of Anderson. It's just the other end where we would get hammered.

    Honestly, if I'm Stotts I tell Mo "if you pass up an open three then I'm pulling you. Shoot 4+ per game. "

    Agreed. A Crabbe for Anderson swap makes so much more sense. Same skill set, same terrible contract.

    Maybe Neil has a plan to move Crabbe to BRK, because having both Anderson and Crabbe on the same roster makes no sense.

    Look at Anderson's career numbers in the postseason. Totally pathetic. We're better off straight dumping Leonard or Turner than we are taking back another overpaid, one dimensional guy who doesn't defend and gets in the way of our rookies developing.

    Show me the numbers then. Anderson is an elite shooter. Harkless will never be elite at anything. There's a reason teams dare him to shoot. There's a reason Harkless is making half of what Anderson is.

    If moving 20 million worth of Leonard and Harkless (who we got for nothing) brings in a vet who can stretch the defense and isn't lost on a basketball court...it's all good.

    Teams win with defense, but Neil just keeps looking to add offensive guys who can't guard a fucking door
