Holt spent all his money backing Rick Perry for President. How did that work out?
So, before the game started you would have sat here and said "The Spurs should not play Anderson at all tonight because he's going to diminish his trade value"I thought it was only fair to James that he be given a chance to showcase himself even if it meant ruining what little of his trade value was left. I was really happy with Eric Dawson's performance anyway.
gtfo with this re ed ass already.
Dawson looked overmatched but he had his moments. Should be some good practice in the next few weeks for him (I'm assuming he sticks around for the year) against Duncan in practice.
Now James Anderson (and Joseph to a smaller extent), not sure what kind of help he needs but whatever it is, he needs a lot of it!
Dawson is horrible
he looks older than Kurt Thomas playing. i don't see this dude getting a 2 1-day contract.
Ill advised move to go all out saying this.
Anderson better find another NBA team willing to pay him 1.4 M.
Because if there isnt' one, and he has to come to Europe, he will have to settle for a tenth of that money.
He was requesting a trade publically through his agent, so it was really up to Pop whether the risk was worth it or not. Of course, you know my position on James Anderson so you should know what decision I would have made.So, before the game started you would have sat here and said "The Spurs should not play Anderson at all tonight because he's going to diminish his trade value"
Why do you insist on being a dumbass? Why would any team in the NBA trade for Anderson without see what his potential is? How else are potential trade partners gonna evaluate Anderson without seeing him on the court?Well now that pussy Pop just screwed you both over by giving in to your whining demands for more PT. Now your ass isn't going anywhere!
Well we don't have to worry about trading him now, people have seen he has no potential. Problem solved.
Like some of the ideas brought up in this article. Some of them would be long shots but I've seen far worse proposed on this board.
NBA Trade Rumors: How Will The Spurs Respond to James Anderson's Trade Request?
by The Big Fundamental on Feb 22, 2012 12:44 AM CST in Analysis
It's a shame that shooting guard James Anderson has encouraged the Spurs to trade him. It's also quite interesting that Anderson's agent, whose client is only one year removed from being drafted with the No. 20 pick in the 2010 Draft, has made his frustrations known to the public.
Like Steve Novak and Beno Udrih before him, PATFO have been very accommodating when their players have wanted to go to a different team. I expect them to do the same mostly because we have built solid depth at the SG/SF spots to withstand "giving" up on last year's No. 1 overall pick and because the Spurs value team chemistry and continuity over athletic ability. They don't want an unhappy player to inhabit the locker room and influence the team in a negative way. I'm not necessarily calling Anderson unfit to play for the Spurs (he's not that kind of player) but with his intentions public, it would be the ethical thing to let him attempt to salvage a career. Not to mention that his playing time has dwindled to nearly zero for stretches of the season.
Of course, PATFO are notorious for being extremely methodical and will not make any panic trades just because Anderson wants out. So, if I really had to choose, I'd bet on Anderson being traded somewhere before the trading deadline. But the Spurs could easily sit on their depth and, if injuries arise, increase Anderson's role on the team.
In reality, the combination of poor shooting (.386 FG%) and opportunity really hampered Anderson's ability to excel in Pop's system. Aside from lesser defense and less efficient percentages, his numbers actually compare reasonably well with Danny Green. I understand his frustration but I wish he was patient enough to endure the hardships because the potential growth learning under Coach Pop is enormous. Yes, I was looking forward to watching Anderson bloom into a solid player (not to mention CapHill's irrational obsession would endure) and his improvement this offseason even had Tony Parker impressed. I wish him luck in his future endeavors but just not against the Spurs.
Anyway, this gives Spurs fans the rare opportunity to break out the NBA Trade Machine and put on our RC Buford hats on for once. This doesn't happen often so, hey, that's pretty fun right?
Anderson and Matt Bonner to the Milwaukee Bucks for Ersan Ilyasova and Larry Sanders.
Originally, I pondered sending Anderson and DeJuan Blair for Ilyasova and while that technically works, it has no realistic chance to get Ilyasova. Then I was intrigued by the possibility of sending Anderson and Bonner for Tobias Harris and Ilyasova but I felt acquiring Sanders, who fills a big hole on our team, would be best.
The Trade Machine estimates this trade would add about three wins to the current Spurs squad. This is one of those pipe dream trades that Spurs fans would absolutely love. The Spurs would be adding a six-foot-10 power forward capable of banging on the boards with just about anyone (5th among PF's in total rebound rate) and an athletic center, at six-foot-11, who is capable of stealing the ball at the same rate as TJ Ford (1.58 steals per 40 minutes) and protecting the rim (3.7 blocks per 40 minutes). The only justification for Milwaukee accepting this trade would be either their lack of depth at shooting guard, their fear of losing Ilyasova for nothing or general manger John Hammond coincidentally suc bing to alcoholism and signing off on the trade unknowingly. Let's hope Hammond finds that pristine bottle of wine somewhere.
Anderson to the Washington Wizards for Trevor Booker.
Booker is a high motor player that has stood out on an otherwise hopeless Wizards team. He can rebound well, create turnovers, block shots and doesn't require the ball on the offensive side. He's the prototypical glue player, one willing to do whatever necessary and would probably be a favorite of Pop's. I like the deal but I don't think this would help make the rotation any more concrete than it is today. We'd still be dealing with a lot of guys with the same skill sets and without the ability to play more than five guys at a time, it would be increasingly hard to satisfy everyone.
Anderson, Bonner, Richard Jefferson and Cory Joseph to the Phoenix Suns for Steve Nash.
(Just kidding).
Anderson and Blair to the Philadelphia 76ers for Nikola Vucevic.
Vucevic's modest 6.3 points, 5.0 rebounds and 0.8 blocks averages may seem modest but don't let that fool you. He's posting these numbers despite only 16.7 minutes per game. In reality, he's an elite defender and, if he qualified, his ridiculous 93 defensive rating (points allowed per 100 possessions) would only be behind defensive beasts, Dwight Howard and Marcus Camby. He doesn't block shots (although 1.9 per 40 minutes isn't too shabby either) with the voracity of most centers but his defensive exploits are much more subtle. It is of no surprise that the majority of lineups with Vucevic at center allow less than one point per possession. Opposing centers against Vucevic manage a miniscule .489 eFG% and a 14.9 PER. At the age of 21, he has a lot of room to grow individually. Fun clutch statistic: (clutch is loosely defined as under five minutes of games when the margin is within five points), Vucevic has a 60.7 defensive rating. He'd be a realistic addition and would fill a need for the Spurs, but I have my doubts that Philly would seriously consider adding Anderson to their already crowded backcourt.
Anderson to the Denver Nuggets for Kenneth Faried.
The parallels between Faried's rookie season and Blair's rookie season are a little creepy. Both guys are undersized (six-foot-eight for Faried, six-foot-seven for Blair) power forwards who bring a lot of energy and solid rebounding. If the Spurs managed to land Faried that would be an absolute steal given the cir stances. Faried is currently 10th in minutes per game on the Nuggets, playing only eight percent of the time. While this wouldn't add any length per se, this would still be a good value trade especially because Faried doesn't have the deficiencies Blair did (and still does), namely turnovers, weight and defense.
We will give you guys TWill for him.....
DD
I don't see any of those teams doing those deals although I would love a deal for Ilyasova or Vucevic.
Rox have no need for any of our 09ers...you could probably take your pick.
Thabeet, Twill, Flynn, but Jordan Hill would cost a lil bit more, not much though.
DD
Hill or nothing. You have 5 minutes before I pull the trigger on another deal. *click*
Give us Hill for Anderson and a 2nd rounder
Agreed. Either of those guys would be amazing. Vucevic especially.
I'm not sure why the author thinks the Sixers would dump Vucevic for peanuts? Sure, he isn't playing big minutes. But hes a rookie, and doing well in the minutes hes getting. Thats like asking the Spurs to salary dump Kawhi Leonard.
Anderson and Joseph for Hickson and Sacramento's 2nd round.
http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMa...radeId=7pyze8j
would your team do this?
Anderson has no trade value . . .
Because he's like a s on the beach . . .
Come summertime, you can just reach down and pick him up.
Hickson-> Anderson + 2 second rounders seems OK to me. Hickson is expiring like Anderson and Kings won't resign with him. They will get an additional 2 secound rounders for free.
Sacramento slams the phone down that offer. Thats not even remotely realistic.
http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMa...radeId=84zoyv6
The Wolves get guys who can thrive in their uptempo offense. The Spurs get a backup C that allows Tiago to start. The Spurs get some bigmen in Randolph and Beasley plus expiring contracts.
Anderson can probably be traded in one to one trades with a team that has no time or options to play or develop some players in the roster.
Considering our needing of a big, Washington could be an ideal candidate for a trade.
They have 7 p'layers that could possibly play pf and some of them are probably tradeble.
Seraphin (my favourite)
Vesely (out of favor in Was, maybe still too valueable to be traded)
Booker (probably just playing for enhancing his market value)
Singleton (other good defensive player that could be a good fit in our system)
Others names are Lewis, Blatche, Turiaf that are tradeble only if we add some players.
Of these three, the only one I would touch is Turiaf...and, however, the contracts of the other two are too difficult to match without giving up something we can't afford to trade.
False.
Anderson is now an expiring contract. No matter how ty you are, you always have trade value if you're expiring.
