    No, but we could do Hark/Meyers (or Hark/AFA/ED) for Melo and the TPE for Lee.

    Pipe dream, admittedly, but it is theoretically possible.

    ...I don't think Anderson is much of a starter nowadays, but maybe that's because I refuse to follow the Rockets :dunno:

    You think he's better off taking back Ryan Anderson? If the choice is between Anderson/Ariza or Hark/Meyers + offloading Lee (after having just signed THjr), which would you prefer?

    He extended Pat so he could include him in a coming trade.

    Anderson can help this team, especially now that we don't really have a shooter outside of Damian and CJ.

    I'd prefer Melo and Lee of course. But, Melo doesnt want to come here and won't waive his no trade clause. Neil tried.

    Anderson right now, is a better option at PF than anyone we have on the roster. We're stuck with ET at SF. So if we can trade Meyers and Harkless for Anderson, it's the exact same salary going out, in order to upgrade our starting lineup.

    He is, and if traded for, he and Turner would likely start at the forward spots.

    Until an angry Swanigan injures Anderson in practice, Wally Pipping him permanently.

    Yeah, Neil is in the midst of pulling a David Copperfield. Making our shitty contracts disappear.

    If Neil traded ET he would be acknowledging a mistake, in the case of Crabbe he can blame the Nets for forcing his hand. Realistically a $12.9 mil trade exception is about what Crabbe is worth.
