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.

If the alternative is Ryan Anderson on this contract, I think I'll take bust.


Great words from a great man

Gotta like the chemistry between Harden and R.Anderson on offense though.

Those two will be lethal playing off one another.

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

Anderson and Biyombo would not have been terrible, but not at 38 million a year combined.

Unless Anderson only takes about 8 shots a game.

Anderson was a fallback option a lot of people brought up.  He would fit beautifully with what the Celtics are doing.

But as others have pointed out... 20 mil a year for him is not super desirable.

I know people loved the idea of him here, but I hated him being an option at whatever price. He sucks.
