Havnt heard anything about him lately. Not a bad pickup if we can get him for the lle or part of the mle, seeing as Vins getting 3mm of it(thats nuts, btw). I mean, he did have a 20 ppg season, and hes only what, 28? He can back up TT if we get the JC deal done. Is there anyone else looking at him?

Ron mercer is a ball hog, a walking black hole who couldn't even work in san antonio's system. that alone is scary.

thanx. good to be here. Ive never seen him play, but what your decribing is basically a player as useless as Shanderson, without the aweful contract.

no, it's not that cause he can flat out score. I remember seeing him while he was in chicago, thought he could play. But man, only thing he could was jacking shots, like a jalen rose without the court vision.

That's not a good guy to have on a team, trust me.

Shandon on the other hand is a good guy, but his play is awful. How many times last season did he put the ball on his foot ? I can't remember but he did that so many times...

I know what you mean, the man has no handle whatsoever. But i gotta say, in Shandons defence, there are a few things he can do.

I mean, hes not the guy you want leading the fastbreak, but he can finish at the hole, knows how to drive, and hes not the worst perimeter defender in the league. Or even on the knicks. He gets hell from us long-suffering fans, cuz hes just not worth anywhere near the money hes getting paid. I know im gonna get flak for this, but i put him in the same region as Trenton Hassell. And he just got himself a 27m contract! Nice to see were not the only ones making silly mistakes with our money.

I hear ya on Anderson BUT:

Hassel is 100 times the defender Anderson is. The only reason Anderson looks like a good defender cause we are compaing him to Houston and TT. So in reality he is an average defender.

Hassel can hit the open midrange jumper. Anderson can't heat the open barn.

Hassel has a very high fieldgoal as he only takes good shots and finishes at the rim when givn the oppourinty, and he harldy ever turns it over because he stays within his game.

Anderson has a poor fieldgoal becaue he boches many layups, and Anderson turns it over cause he thinks he can do more then he really can. He refuses to play a role, and tries to do to much.

So in other worsd Anderson is a waste of a basketball contract. I hate him. Yeah I guess you got some flak man, sorry I just hate Shanderson too much.
A glimmer of hope maybe?!?
