Time for the Rockets to make another move? http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=2123563 Portland Trail Blazers guard Derek Anderson will be the first player waived under the NBA's new amnesty clause, NBA front-office sources said.
If Anderson is indeed waived under the Amnesty Clause then I see no harm in signing him to an one-year contract with the LLE, if Finley isn't avaliable. With Anderson still getting paid his Blazers contract, I doubt that he'd demand a lot of money, if he has his heart on winning a title.
Now that I think about it, it would be a great pick up. Van Exel is one the most clutch players of this generation. He's a guy you want playoff time because you know what he's coming with. I remember when Dallas got him, I thought he was washed up. Then he GOES OFF on Sacramento. He and Bibby were going heads up. It was a fun series to watch. He's definitley worth it!
