That is just a repeat of the original rumor, and nothing new.

I just saw 'Melo at PDX

Link?

What the fuck do you want him to link ?

Okay so in the rumored scenario, the Blazers are looking for a 4th team to trade Meyers to for an asset, then flip said asset and Harkless to the Knicks for Ryan FUCKING Anderson.
Well HOLD THE FUCK ON !
Why don't we trade Meyers for an asset and THAT'S IT ??

That's not it at all. I think the trade basically nets us Ryan Anderson and an unnamed asset for Meyers and Harkless.

 

[Scalma]

If Anderson starts at the 4 they should put AC at the 3 and go balls deep. 4 shooters in Stotts offense with Nurk setting screens would be a blast... on one end of the court.

It'd be unstoppable and fun. We could start Turner, Crabbe, or even Aminu. I like this:

Dame
CJ
Turner
Anderson
Nurkic

2nd unit

CJ
Crabbe
Aminu
Vonleh or Swanigan
Collins or Davis

Don't do that to us.

 

[Natebishop3]

Don't do that to us.

You literally can't trust anything that HCP says. He has burned all credibility and I guarantee he's just fucking with us. Honestly I'm not sure why the organization lets him do it.

So anxious of what will happen. With Ryan Anderson I could be ok. But it depends on the asset that we are getting back.

Guys I saw Donald Trump at PDX herp derp

Hope it's in a salary dump for Meyers

 

[Sinobas]

Why would the Knicks do that? Lol

Why would they want Harkless and Leonard over Anderson? Lol

Mayers will not return an asset, he will cost us an asset to get rid of him

Which team do you run again?

Ask yourself this; have you ever been surprised by a trade package in the NBA?

 

[BBert]

I think Meyers HAS to be included in the trade. I'd hope ET is too.

We seem to be focusing on added compensation to take Anderson, but to me it should also be as you've suggested: We need to send more bad contracts out of we're going to take Anderson's in.

Probably the same reason some parents let their kids get into trouble.

Or maybe he's just

 

[BBert]

My fear is Nurkic will tire, stress, and ultimately injure himself having to anchor such a piss-poor defense.

Or spend half the game on the bench in foul trouble; or start letting guys waltz to the basket to avoid foul trouble. None of those three options are very appealing.

...while I was watching Sports Center at the bar.

 

[Trackjack]

Not only our D will hurt but also our rebounding will be terrible. I know someone said Anderson wouldn't want to come off the bench. I say I wouldn't care that would be best for the team. Dame CJ Turner or Crabbe Vonleh and Nurk would be my starters. Anderson coming in for offense for 2nd team coming in.

 

[Gronk Brady]

I didn't like the thought of trading for Ryan Anderson at first, but the more I watched his tape I started to like the idea... super quick release and deep range at 6'10"... was very impressed with his game vs Warriors last year

 

[Schilly]

Ryan Anderson hasn't earned the right to dictate where he plays or where he fits in the rotation.

 

[Trackjack]

This guy only average 4.6 rebounds a game that terrible for PF. Yes the positive note he does stretch the floor on offense.

 

[Denny Crane]

This guy only average 4.6 rebounds a game that terrible for PF. Yes the positive note he does stretch the floor on offense.

He averages 7.4 per 36 for his career.

LMA averages 8.6 per 36 for his.

The thing about Anderson is that he's not just a shooter, he's a scorer.

 

[Harry's Raincoat]

Anderson is one of the current BEST stretch PF's in the league. Might be a nice pairing next to Nurkic.

He averages 7.4 per 36 for his career.

LMA averages 8.6 per 36 for his.

It looks like the system that he play in Houston because everywhere else it been over 8 rebounds. Thanks for his overall career stats.

 

[blue9]

But can he do things Aminu can't?

Yes. He can think things through so as to minimize his mistakes.

 

[blue9]

Rockets don't really have 2 1st rounders to give.

I don't want HOU's first rounders - I want NYK's! That's the ONLY way I even THINK about taking on Ryan Anderson...and even then, NYK isn't getting Harkless in the deal.

That would be nice, but I am sure you would agree.... not realistic. NY is going young, there is no way they are trading their 1st round draft pick for Harkless.
