Can Moe shoot remotely as well as Anderson? No.

I love some fans. Let's improve our team but let's do it without giving up anything in a trade or spending any money. I wish I lived in that world.

You honestly believe we would be better off by getting worse on defense only to add a one dimensional 3pt shooter?
 
This how I look at this rumor that we get Ariza and Anderson. We loose Crabbe and maybe ML and maybe someone else. I would have starting lineup of Dame and CJ and Nurk and Ariza and Vonleh. Number 1 that a real good front court behind CJ and Dame. Number 2 Ariza is better 3 point shooter then Harkless and Vonleh has play his best ball playing with Nurk. Aminu Collins turner Napier Harkless.
The 2nd unit is also pretty good defense team and more likely CJ properly replace Napier. Your properly wonder what I did with Anderson well if need offense I would go with Anderson over Aminu.

You better put some qualifiers on that rhetorical question, because Mo's FG% is about 9% higher than Ryan's. His 2P% is a whopping 13% better, and their eFG% is essentially the same. Sooooooo, Ryan Anderson can get bent.Screen Shot 2017-07-06 at 5.27.32 PM.png

I know I shouldn't even start this with you, but has Anderson ever come up with a steal during crunch time? Because I remember Crabbe getting several - that alone makes Crabbe a far superior defender.

Oh god, not that one time in the HOU game again. Blind squirrels and acorns and all of that...

After that game on Talkin' Ball Orlando was jokingly referring to Allen Crabbe as Sneaky D and saying he hadn't had a chance to bust out that nickname since early December.

Please do not ever use Allen Crabbe and far superior defender in the same sentence ever again.

Do you also think Thomas Robinson is a great defender because you can remember a couple spectacular blocks he made?

but that would give us 2 one dimensional shooters...when before we had 1....if you can't score 130 a night you won't contend in the west anymore...you need defense but Mo wasn't putting the ball in the bucket much

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh you mean THIS one???? Best. Defender. EVAR!

 
Blazers logic: re-sign Harkless last, trade him first!

I guess it's normal to get into some shady business with Daryl Morey, but to get hustled by the Knicks? that's an embarrassment right there.


Is Neil drinking enough water in the summer? taking too much drugs at pool parties? I think he is spending way too much time in the sun.
Neil must postpone all of his moves to the winter, the fresh air seems to make him a better GM.

If this horrible deal is completed, the "stars" of our bench (Crabbe,Turner,An_erson) would cost 56M/year! that's 56 million for only three placeholders!!

I don't want to give up Mo in this trade, but the stats you posted show Anderson's worth as a floor spacer. He doesn't just shoot a higher 3FG% than MO, he makes more than 3x as many 3-pointers per game than Mo. Defenses have to respect that. Guys that make that many 3-pointers get a lot more attention than guys who make less than 1 a game.

Again, not saying I want to gave up Mo in this deal, or that Anderson is better overall, just pointing out that when it comes to spacing the floor, Anderson is WAY more effective at it than Mo.

Nobody in the west outside GS and maybe mayyyybe Houston or OKC should be trying to "win now".

If Meyers goes to New York, they need to make a reality series out of THAT! I would watch. Just fill the soundtrack with Elliott Smith and watch the most depressing show ever construed. Imagine a close in shot of Meyers sitting in traffic in his Jeep, a single tear drop falling down his cheek whilst the "Sad, Walking Away" song from The Incredible Hulk plays forlornly.
Tv gold.

You make jokes but if it got really bad I would be very concerned about Meyers psyche and him thinking of killing himself. I think he could become that fragile.

There's a difference between the looks Harkless gets and the ones someone like Anderson gets. No team is game planning for Moe Harkless.

When we already have 3 capable 3-point shooters, it makes Anderson's impact - at a position where we already have too many players for not enough minutes - much less important. And with Pat, Jake, Swanigan, Collins, and even Nurk being reported to have 3-point range, Ryan Anderson can GET BENT. You need to have some players that can slash to take advantage of the defense staying out on all those "floor spacers".

Which is why I'd MUCH rather see Crabbe go out in this rumored trade than Mo. Crabbe and Anderson are basically redundant, in both skill set and contract. No need for both, In fact, the two of them on the court at the same time made me shudder. Neither are good at creating for themselves, or others and both suck at defense. Yuck!

I'll stick with Crabbe - he at least plays a position that not many other players on the roster can play. We're good at the PF...don't need to add another one there.

I'm not convinced either of the second two teams are going to be as legit as they look on paper. I'd put my money on OKC being the better of the two, but that's a high usage between 2 players, something we hopefully cut down this year by integrating Nurk into the offense more. Houston on the other hand - Harden is much much better playing on ball than off ball, and CP3 is a true PG, so I'm not convinced that is a match made in paradise.

The only thing I like in this thread is the opportunity to get Trevor Ariza, a legit 3 & D guy with two championship rings. Perfect vet to slide into starting lineup.

He's 32 and has fallen off. He only won one ring and it was in 2009.

Still, I'd take him and his expiring contract over either Turner or Crabbe.

If Anderson is so great, then why has he been traded so many times?
Click to expand...
If you're traded, you must have value ...people don't trade for players without value unless they waive them usually...Anderson is a Brent Barry , Kyle Korver, Mike Miller sort of vet....hell he might even help Chief get some better shooting form...CJ coached him a bit last season ...Anderson is a scorer...not a needle mover but a good piece on the bench...Mo doesn't like being on the bench, he'll start in New York
 
Crabbe is healthier than An_erson and he doesn't get completely annihilated on defense like him too.

I refuse to sit here and listen while BNM is ruining the reputation of our 4th best placeholder.
