re: Anderson the enigma

I so wish the idea of 'starter' being more important than `finisher' would just go the way of the Hornet. You want your best players getting the most minutes and playing when the game is on the line (generally . . . see Gray v. Howard). 0-0 with 48 left to play . . . whatever.

Anderson provides a rare combination of skills and salary that fit with the long-term plan for this team (as near as I can tell), but if he can be moved to bring in an even rarer talent, so be it.

I like the dude and wouldn't mind him representing the city for 8-10 more years, retiring a Pelican.
