No.
Right, you like guys who shoot poorly. We should have known.
Stop living in ignorance and you might learn something about how the NBA works and the value of things.
Sully and Jerebko for Anderson works.

The fascination for Ryan Anderson, furthermore, a Ryan Anderson on an expiring contract around this forum honestly baffle me completely.
Our offense revolves around creating spacing. The current C's team shoots the 7th most 3's in the league but shoots the 26th best percentage. The fascination is that he is a top notch 3 point shooter.
While, getting him on an expiring contract isn't ideal there is a much better chance he stays after getting traded here than him coming here as a free agent. We would essentially be dealing two expirings for him so it's not like we are giving up a long term asset.
The Jerebko expiring is actually an asset because it can be traded through draft night (Ryan Anderson's contact no). Its non-guaranteed can be traded up until a couple days into free-agency. That's a big distinction.
On restricted free-agents, their cap hold is very limited in comparison. If we decide to keep them, with strategic planning, we can do our moves and then sign them without them hurting our buying power. Can't be traded in draft night last I checked, but it being a restricted free-agent might also give us an opportunity to sign-and-trade.
The addition of Ryan Anderson would hurt our defense considerably. Our rebounding will suffer as well.
His cap hold will hurt our buying power.
I have no interest in keeping him beyond this year as it is.
So yeah, the fascination for him is a head scratcher. In all, for me to consider trading ANY of our RFAs or non-guarantees unless in a very rare occasion it has to be for a clear-cut upgrade (analysis on this year and beyond) and/or have some trade value beyond this half a season (while keeping in mind the effect of our buying power in free-agency). By my count, I'm of the opinion that Anderson doesn't meet any of those requirements for me.
Edit: Clarifying stance a few points.
