Probably the biggest obstacle in the way of a Rockets championship outside of Golden State.

At 20 mil. Per year he sucks. At 6 mil per year he sucks. Rockets need to package some picks with him to a rebuilding team.


Without his salary the Rockets could get James, resign Paul, and have a little left over to grab a few championship chasers.



The biggest reason it will probably be Boston and Golden State next year is good drafting and no bad contracts. Cleveland, Toronto, Houston, New Orleans, San Antonio, Portland, and Minnesota all have bad contracts.

How do contracts work if a player dies? Still guaranteed? Asking for a friend...

Was wondering why he wasn’t getting any pt.

Then I saw how he looked in a switch everything defense and quickly learned why he wasn’t getting any pt.

He can still play. Not v warriors but many guys can’t. But ryno is still a baller. Just had some bad injury luck this season.

COme on B, you know that ain’t true Bubba

At $20 million and not being able to play him against some teams, yeah that's not good.

But people here are acting like he's horrible. He's not. He was injured heading into the playoffs and never got his rotation spot back.

PJ Tucker earned it in his absence. But Ryan Anderson still had a big hand in the team's success this year.

I saw a proposal moving him plus draft assets (future protected first?) for Batum. I thought that was interesting. Batum’s contract certainly isn’t good but I think he’d be more useful to Houston.

I don’t think they’re gonna be able to just dump him on someone even with attaching assets with how little cap space there’s gonna be

Ryno floor spacing was key in CC having the # 1 offense ever.

I feel like this awful contract has been talked about for five years. When did he sign this deal

Anderson was lost on defense.

That's not going away.

In playoff matchups, when you find a weak link, you pound on it.

In theory his offense makes him a net plus. That was missing last night. He got shots. Heck. Lots of guys had open looks from 3. They missed. (Choke, gasp, choke, gurgle).
This was meant for boom, not pj
