Jason Jones: Again folks, Ryan Anderson (at this time) is not available in a trade. Twitter @mr_jasonjones

Yannis Koutroupis: Unsurprising news: Pelicans guard Austin Rivers is obtainable. Pelicans not actively shopping him, but he could be had in the right deal. Twitter @YannisHW

Very ok with both of these things. Thoughts?

I agree with keeping Anderson. Yes, his contract is large, but he's a rare talent.

As for Rivers, who cares. Guy will never pan out.

Meh, I don't want to go small ball and I trust that rivers could be a reliable 1/2 backup.

If we went with the small ball lineup, we would have to have one of the top fg% in the league to make up for the unavoidable rebounding disparity.

Rivers is still very young and to think he won't develop is kind of closed minded. As others have mentioned kid has a good work ethic and I think this season will probably drive him to work harder. Not to mention he has a great mentor outside of the pelicans in DOC.

I don't think the plan was ever for him to play this much this year but the Glass man kind of made it necessary. He was not unlike several high school or one and done kids drafted in the top 20 over the last 15 years on their potential to develop down the road.

If we get Evans, Rivers is pretty much a D leaguer next year. Holiday > Gordon/Evans > Vasquez > Rivers. I really don't think he is much cheaper than Vasquez, so he really shouldn't see the court much. A trade very well could change that. It's all about who offers what for who, though. We can dig in our asses for trades all day, but none of us are coaches/owners/GMs, so this debate is only so useful and will always result in people resorting to hyperbole to tear down one of our guys.

I think these tweets and the BSS tweets are just extrapolated from the fact that certain players attitudes and recent performances make it seem like they would or would not be available. Take it all with a grain of salt. They get money for every click on they're story. Then if ryno is traded, it's a "shock". You probably know more than half of them.
