If we strike out on Carmelo Anthony, is keeping Ryan Anderson really THAT bad???

The mavs are trying to get Carmelo?

 

If losing out on Melo means keeping Bobby Brown, then there is some ray of hope after all #DrewLeagueBobby

 

Melo makes up better buy Ryno isn't bad.

 

I don't think it's a completely terrible thing, no. If Ryan Anderson gets hot or even shoots his average at home, we are an extremely dangerous team. He still creates a huge amount of gravity on the floor to open up space for James, and now for Chris.

 

No, not at all.

Went nearly made it to the WCF (again) with him playing like complete dog ****...

And that was before we added a perennial all-star and several excellent role players.

 

Why does it seem in the last 10 years this place has become common for typing information that you can't understand?

 

Where did you see this? I haven't heard that anywhere.

 

I just heard voices in my head from tinman, saying I should understand you because you're a 99'er

 

Seriously: ask Rino. Only he knows for sure if it would be a bad outcome.

Q: who sez 'NO': Rino/CC - - Love/Frye (Bet Gilbert would say 'YES'; would DM the GM & his BB people???)

 

Why is it that every poll on Clutchfans has to be so polarizing? Like, I'm fine with keeping Ryno if they don't get Melo, but I don't agree with either answer in the poll. I don't hate Ryno, but I also think he's a terrible comparison to JR Smith. In terms of his importance to the team and his skillset in the league, I'd say he's already better than Smith.

Bottom line, I'm fine with Ryno staying in Houston. His floor spacing at the 4 is truly elite, as he's probably the best pure stretch 4 in the league. But I also think he hasn't remotely earned his contract, and I want to see him produce better at home and in the postseason. And if there's an opportunity to add a third star-caliber player, I'd move him in a heartbeat, because he's never going to be that guy.

 

just look who the OP is

 

Yeah, I'm going to agree to disagree on that one. Dirk is about to be gone soon, and I can't imagine Carlisle wanting to stick around for a rebuilding team forever. Matthews is done; Barnes got overpaid for what he is: a competent No. 3 option that can't be a cornerstone franchise player; and Noel is going to have to be overpaid if they want to keep him. Their sole hope for superstardom is Dennis Smith, and his ceiling just doesn't seem anywhere near Harden's level. Throw on top of that the fact that the Mavs have struck out on probably a dozen free agent stars over the last 3-4 years, and I don't see an easy path for them to contend anytime soon. Meanwhile the Rockets have probably a top 5 player in the entire league locked in for the next six years.

 

No. Anderson is somewhat overpaid because of the year in which he went on the market. That's the only real problem with him.

 

Tell me? I'm pissed that I even posted in this horrible thread.

 

No, I want Melo for the wildcard chance that he is Olympic Melo which gives us a wild shot at beating the Warriors.

Melo is the risk that could push us over the top.
