Dell Demps is a complete moron. Anderson is about to become a highly-paid version of Matt Bonner. SMH at this guy.

The Hornets were in talks to sign the restricted free agent to an offer sheet, but sources say that trade talks with the Magic have progressed quickly once Orlando officials decided that they would not want to match an offer to Anderson expected to pay him an annual salary in the $8 million range.

Demps is a bad GM. Stern was so much better tbh. Not even joking.
4 years 36 million is a bargain for Anderson. You're clueless DPG. They got rid of Okafor and Ariza salaries and Anderson is way better than both. He's way better than Jeff Green and Batum and they're making the same or more.
9 million per season for a guy who averaged what Anderson does and was 9th in win shares in the league and 11th in win shares per 48 minutes.
A core of Davis, Gordon, and Anderson could be very good. All 3 are 24 and younger.
He's fine as long as the Hornets remain a lottery team. He chokes hard in the playoffs.
4/36 a bargain. This thread will be bump worthy two seasons from now.
Anderson won't be the player he was in Orlando, for the obvious reason that D12 is not in the center of the paint any longer.
He's not better than Okafor IMO. You can't compare bad contracts to other contracts and determine one is good just because it might be "less bad".
Anderson has potential to grow and be worth that, but he's certainly not worth that now. His regular season production was solid though and like you said he is still young.
They also gave up what appears to be a pretty solid young player in Ayon too.
My Demps comment wasn't just about this deal - it was about the crap deal he accepted from LA/HOU for CP3 and now a deal like this that puts him behind the 8-ball with regards to value.
Ayon is 3 years older in Anderson. He will be 27 when the season starts.
9 million a year isn't a bad contract for his production. Not even close to being bad. But at best, he's a great complementary player similar to Tyson Chandler.
Oh my god, Demps just made the Asik deal in Houston look like a steal in comparison.
How? They're still way under the cap even with Gordon and Anderson. Plus, by the time Davis is a FA, Gordon and Anderson's contract will expire.
9 million a year is fine for him, assuming Gordon and Davis pan out.
Really? Asik got 8 million a season. Anderson is making 9. You think they're equal players? Anderson is way more productive.![]()
Yes, it certainly will be.
Anderson's regular season was way more than solid. However, at best, he's a great complementary player.m
Anderson is a shooter who can't shoot when the games matter. I would definitely take a legit post defender for $1 million less per year and one year less. A shooter ranking 4th from last in FG% alltime in the playoffs? I mean, that even counts the 50s when no one could shoot 40%.
A guy who shoots a lot of 3 pointers will have a lower FG% than usual. Total shooting and eFG% are much better indicators.
Too much money, bro...
And Ayon is a workhorse kind of big... they're hard to find in this league... smh
905 out of 908?
Spurs should try to dump Bonner's sorry ass off on Demps since he's so in love with the 3x-price version.
