    Would we trade Anderson for him though? Would Lakers take Anderson? Probably no and no, but wondered if anyone was thinking this.

    Corey Brewer is getting playing time ahead of him.

    Think about that for a sec.

    The worst contract in the NBA is Joakim Noah's.

    I can’t remember a time when Shane Battier was overpaid.

    Absolutely no. Ryan Anderson is far superior to Deng. I would only take Deng at vet min after he gets waived.

    Slow down.

    Trevor owned the best +/- in our last game vs jazz.

    Why do you hate him?

    Because father time is undefeated and Deng is turning 33 in a few months. Gordon was just entering his basketball prime when we got him - albeit after much of his early career was derailed by injuries. They aren't anywhere close to the same type of project.

    I’d rather have Lebron. Perhaps if the Cavs keep losing he will be bought out.

    I am knowledgeable about basketball.

    Trade? No.
    Buyout? I still say No.
    Just watch these Lakers games he played as starters. Catastrophe.
    And it is said that he has a body fat rate over 14% now.

    He logged a lot of minutes in Chicago for a lot of years, it was inevitable he would break down.

    He is also toxic in a locker room after awhile. He is an expert at leaking to the press and is two faced with his coaches and teammates.
