I for one would've preferred to keep Carl over signing Ryan Anderson for a few reasons:

1) Landry had pretty solid low post moves - more than I think Ryno has in his arsenal. (Granted RA has more range, but Landry could hit the 16 footer pretty consistently)

2) The two of them are pretty close in age - RA is 24 & Landry is 25, I think - no older than 26 I'm pretty sure

3) 2 years @ $4 mil per VS. 4 years @ $35/36 mil . . . . well, no argument necessary. I would think we could've been a more serious player for a better center than Lopez - i.e. Nene, J. McGee, etc. OR an upgrade @ the 3.

I know a counter to this is that Dell is blowing it up to get younger & wouldn't mind one more year in the lottery, but I'd prefer to fight for playoff spot & show next year's FA class that we're 2 (1 stud & 1 solid starter) away from contending for a 2/3 seed in the West.

And yes, Dell has earned my trust, I guess I'll just miss ALL of last year's roster gone come opening night Oct. 31

I think they should have signed Lebron James.

Landry is 28, almost 29...Anderson is a much better player. Scores more and rebounds better. Anderson is a starter. Landry is a bench player. Anderson makes much more money now for a reason.

...I did really like Carl's energy off the bench though and will miss him
