    He didn't interview. Some hack columnist mentioned him has a dark horse candidate.

    They have interest in Griffin apparently.

    Well doesn't help us to get flexibility if we take on Anderson contract and I don't think it improve our team neither.

    He didn't "grumble" about coming off the bench. He got his playing time reduced and was frustrated. He and Dame talked and it was fine. Insinuating that he may be a malcontent and that's why they're thinking about moving him is silly because we got this shit from

    "Real GM lol" -@blazerwookie

    Also, why would you think our best SF who actually EARNED his check should come off the bench? For who? Turner? Yeah... No...

    not my intention....of all the rotation guys, it was the only complaint from a player I heard....hardly makes him a malcontent but might influence his desire to start if that's not in the plan for the roster...Crabbe plays much better when he starts than when he comes off the bench.

    I prefer him being vocal about wanting more playing time. You play consistently well every night and you will receive more playing time.

    Not on Defense.... And he rarely slashes to the bucket. Moe is just better. Dame/CJ/Crabbe is HORRIBLE defensively....

    Well, what if we traded Leonard and Davis and got back Anderson. Doesn't really save any money since we take on three years of 19 million (57 total) against 3 0f 10 and one of 6 (total 36). No matter what you think of Anderson, he would be more useful than either of those. I think we would have to throw in Vonleh or a draft pick also, so you gotta like Anderson to do this deal. Maybe Houston needs to throw in a pick.

    I don't see why we'd have to throw in Vonleh or a pick. At the draft, there was a rumor that teams were wanting 2 picks back to take on Anderson.
    Fact remains Houston wants Carmelo. NYK wants him gone, and does NOT want Anderson. If we're facilitating for 2 teams that want the deal, we need to be compensated.

    OK, then Houston can throw in Hartenstein.

    Is it too much to ask that we don't make our pathetic defense even worse?

    Can one of you geniuses tell me how to get all the font on this site back to normal? I was typing a reply and accidentally hit a key somewhere than made all the font small. I tried closing and reopening this site, no. This is only site i have the problem.

    Ryan Anderson was #9 in 3 pointers made last season (right between Lillard and Reddick). His offense will more than make up for any on-ball defense deficiencies.

    Why focus on just "on-ball"? He can also wreck the entire team defense by being a weak link.

    I'm not really a fan of the D'Antoni "just shoot ourselves out of everything" method, especially given how it collapsed so spectacularly in the playoffs.

    I asked this before and I will again. If he is so great, then why does he get traded so often? If a guy is that valuable for spacing the floor, then why have so many teams been willing to give up on him?

    Not that I'm a fan of his... but why do you think teams are giving up on him? He left NO because he got a big contract offer. I don't think they gave up on him.

    Then our team would be a dumpster fire. Fan is short for fanatic...
