Hornets acquire Ryan Anderson

[jonathanlambert33]

ive always thought AD will play C in the league. its funny how happy you are now even though i just read you didnt like the idea...and you were pumped for this scrub when you signed him last season. lol

Talking to me? If so, where did I ever say I didn't like the idea? Saying "not sure if want" doesn't mean I didn't want Anderson. It means I thought we would have had to give up more than just Goose to get him.

how would you have had to give up more? you have cap space they didnt..

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Initial thought was you would have to give up some assets to get a guy who's only 24 and averaged 16 and 8 last year.

Maybe some picks or something, I don't know.

hes a jump shooter who benefited from dwight on the boards and being in the post. i like him but i dont expect him to have that season again. its still solid though. whatevs

His numbers improved without Dwight.

what did the team have? not much. AD isnt going to be the force dwight is downlow on offense. ryan wont have plays ran for him like he may have been getting then..

Also realized this must mean the organization has a GOOD amount of confidence in Andrew Nicholson. I hope they're right.

The Canadian boy's got this .

Ryan Anderson is a REALLY underrated rebounder, especially offensively.

That's what I keep reading. Something about he and KLove being the only two players to average 3 three point attempts and 3 offensive boards per game.
