with morrow being a 3pt shooter, i'ld be fine with shipping ryno back to the east for monroe. if Alexis Ajinca is signed and kept, we would be a damned good team with him rotating with AD and greg. frick all that sf hoopla that constantly flows through here. bigs and guards

It's wrong to think that any decent 3 point shooter can replace Anderson. There is a lot more to 3 point shooting than 3 point percentage. What Anderson does that makes him unique and elite, is he can manufacture 3 point shots. His combination of height and quick release means you don't have to work very hard to get him an open look. Morrow needs to have plays run where the defense forgets about him, Anderson just needs the defense to look away for a split second. That's a huge difference. Comparing Anderson and Morrow is like comparing Jimmy Graham and Lance Moore. Yeah Lance Moore can get open, make catches and score, but the defense isn't going to change its scheme for him.

I'm all for beefing up the front court, but as others have said the goal should be to use Gordon to find an upgrade for Smith, not Anderson.
