Ryan Anderson

With Anderson it's a little bit harder since he's on the books for about $16 million guaranteed. I doubt he's worth anything but who knows.

Anderson wasn't worth anything when the Rockets dumped him. Do you think his value has gone up?

Went back a few pages and couldn't find an Ariza post but it applies to Anderson also. Do either hold any trade value? I know they've sucked but Ariza might have value around the league, if he wants to play hard. It wouldn't be too difficult to sell him to a contender, especially if we took on a contract beyond this season.

That’s tough to trade a $15 million guy to a contender. Most contenders are over or near the cap.

The Suns should be shopping Ariza. Anderson's value is only another bad contract or filler in a trade.

It’s TJ. No wait, Bender. But that is until Tyler actually plays again. But then Eric Bledsoe was the worst when he was with the Suns. So was IT and Goran.

The great thing about calling a player th worst defender in the league is that no one can really prove you wrong.

Well, whoever the worst defender in the NBA is, chances are he plays for the Suns.

Second worst, ditto
Third worst, ditto
Forth worst, ditto
Fifth worst, ditto

yeah, if we're quick there's a couple of assets like Ariza we can trade off as "being wasted under a new coach with new players under a new system" before it becomes more obvious they'd suck anywhere

i think JJ could be sold under that premise, but he would actually improve with better guidance in a better organization

the irony is Ayton will contend for rookie-of-the-year, and still not be getting the guidance he needs here

I think the Suns should listen to all trades not including Booker and Ayton. Ariza is probably the safest trade asset as he has some trade value and he is unlikely to be back next season.

I don't know what to make of Jackson but his shooting worries me. His decision making will likely improve though. It's so early to look at trading him but for the right trade I think the Suns should consider it.

Ayton is a very talented player. Hopefully he is not learning bad habits at such a young age.
