I want to see them start him and Bargnani.

*I* could score against them, and I'm an out of shape 5'9 white guy with no game.

Can't believe that a team gave anything up for him. I would have figured that the Rockets would cut him or that he would just have throw in a trade to make the money work. I think this is a good well done by Morey.

Nope. He might be the softest player ever, as a matter of fact.

everyone too hard on this guy. he's a good 3rd string big, he should only play in case of injuries, players missing games, foul trouble, etc. he did ok last year, his contract is too big of corse but we had to take a chance at a big. i was hoping he'd be a legit backupbut w/e, didnt know we can getta 2nd rounder for him, good move

the 2nd rounder is so heavily protected its from the Hassan Adams trade. You will never see it unless the Clippers become a Western powerhouse within the next 2 years.

The pick is only protected 51-55, isn't it?

Andersen slides into the trade exception and the second-round pick that goes out is one for 2015 belonging to the Clippers and is protected Nos. 51-55.

He has it backwards...it's protected such that it'll be delivered only if it's 51-55. It's essentially a phantom pick that fulfills the requirements of a trade but will never actually come to fruition, unless the Clippers have the 6th-10th best record in the league in 2015.

5 million saved in luxury tax and room for a 3rd PG. Love it!
