Harrison Barnes has been playing PF almost exclusively all year while we had Anderson at the 3 or 2 mostly so it's not really Barnes fault.
I was high on Anderson as a prospect because of his hustle and athleticism, but he has really regressed this year BIG TIME. His once decent jump shot has reverted to what the scouts have been warning people about and his IQ has plummeted to Javale levels.

You just named three very different players.

Should've flipped Bogut for another second, but I'm anxious to see what Anderson brings. Can you run with Simmons/Anderson/Covington/Embiid/guard?? Tremendous lengthy h and defensive versatility if you can make that work.

He will either be that, or he will be a good role playing defender and hopefully shooter. We will have to see.
I'm happy to get a guy like him on the team. I just don't like the value in trading Noel for him.
He isn't good enough to be worth the downside of losing Noel.
I'm glad the logjam has some pressure released though at least.

Javale surprising has been awesome with the GWS.
Not sure the deal with Anderson and Barnes. You as a Maverick fan would obviously know more about things. I would have thought with Dirk Barnes would be playing SF but I dunno.
What I do know is that Anderson has only started 2 games and is averaging 13.9 minutes so someone is starting at SF over him.

Man so many triggered people at the moment. Who cares if he is gone in 2 years time... Nerlens was gone anyway for nothing. kukenotas wrote:Ericb5 wrote:LongLiveHinkie wrote:I'd love to be wrong, but I have a feeling he's just gonna be the latest guy everyone tries to convince themselves will be good to make ourselves feel better about this trade, but he will amount to nothing and be gone in 1-2 years.

Logjam got easier? We added 1 more center. How it is easier?

Yea you probably could, especially if said guard could shoot.
