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.

To be real the moves made this smer dictates on if AD stays or not.

The most important needs.

A second consistent star next to AD

Health

Wing talent

Capable C

Bench play

We need to go big this summer sell the top FA like Horrors and Durant on a complete rebuild of the team focused around them and a you'd generational talent. If we're able to grab a top FA I'm all for trading our next season pick plus player to clear cap to bring in another good role players that defends like Bazemore.

trust me, its wishful thinking on everyone's part that Erman may be able to turn him into a just below-average defender.
