Well at least the Rockets are 100% out of the Horford chase.

The same thing was said about the Hawks after they signed Bazemore + D12. But somehow they are still technically in it.

Terrence Jones is a better player than Ryan Anderson.

Kelly Olynyk's agent has a lot to live up to this fall or next summer.

All 30 teams are theoretically in it if they can suddenly dump humongous amounts of money. They don't put themselves in that situation in the first place if they think they have a chance at Horford.

Disagree with that.

I wonder if that makes DMo a possibility as part of plan B.

I don't think Ryan Anderson is that good of a fit with Mike D'Antoni's style of play.

Yeah, offense is great.
But defensively? R.Anderson is far too slow to play that uptempo style of basketball.

Not a fan of how this is shaking out.  All our fallback options are basically gone.  All that's left is Pau Gasol and Luol Deng, I think.

It's basically Horford + Durant or bust.

Deng went to the lakers.
I could very well see the Hawks... starting Taurean Prince at the 3, who is already better than Crowder, imo.

you vs. the guy she tells you not to worry about

Ryan Anderson was your fallback option? Yuck, I hope not.
