Re-upping Anderson and Gordon (eliminating any cap space) while hoping the team stays healthy and adjusts to the system is insanity. Maxing Anderson with the hope of being able to trade him later is a total Dell move and one of the reasons he needs to go.
The realistic thinking in maxing Anderson or giving him a contract is that he continues to improve offensively and becomes a slightly-below average defender. If he doesn't how many teams who wanted him, would still want a stretch 4? I'm going with maybe 3 max.
I rather pay Ryno the money with hopes in being able to trade him before the 2017 season than letting him walk this year for free.

Ryno is 27. He is not going to become an average defender, nor is he going to become a better distributor. He may continue to add some offensive moves, but he is for the most part the player he will be.
And what happens if he has another back injury or his play declines once he gets paid. Think anyone would want him then?
You do not sign players to max deals in hopes that you can trade them later. I would rather get nothing for Ryno.

That's not realistic. He can't improve mobility and athleticism by taking deadlift selfies for instagram and getting paid more for it.
Anderson's problem is partly technical(he blows assignments) but more then that it is just genetics. He doesn't have the speed, agility, explosiveness, wingspan or strength to ever be a respectable defender at his position.
The best you can hope for is a mastermind like Thibs finding ways to work around limitations. But it will always be smoke and mirrors.
