Nets fans, why the **** is Alan Anderson on your team?

[oarabbus]

This guy is so ****ing bad it's painful to watch. Why does he get any minutes at all? Retard-level Bball IQ, doesn't see open teammates, can't pass, can't shoot, can't really rebound, somewhat of a ballhog... worst starter in the league. At the least there is no one who is so much ****ing worse than their backup (a broken Andrei Kirilenko)


He's like Joe Johnson, if JJ wasn't clutch, was smaller, had worse ballhandling, and sucked at everything.

[LeGOAT]

Why the **** is Durant not on my team???? Why do you do this to me basketball gods?

[FreezingTsmoove]

I would love having Durant instead of Lebron on my team. Not a fan of coasting

[CeltsGarlic]

Durant is scoring like 40 ppg in january

[Illuminati]

Durant is on pace to surpass Kareem Abdul Jabbar in every advanced stat out there. And you're talking about the Nets?:facepalm

[ChuckOakley]

Wow.. why would anyone care so much about a minimum level player?
He was signed as SF insurance.
He plays good defense and hits respectable % from 3.

Not my favorite Net, but we've done a lot worse..Outlaw, Petro, S.Graham, ervery Euro we've ever signed besides Petrovic and Teletovic.
(Illic, Shengelia, Paninic, etc)

Have no fvcking idea where the mods are..

delete this shit or at least change the name to "Durant smthing"

[ChuckOakley]

Oh I get it.

You are Euroleague's alias.

You were just talking with him and praising him in the other thread.

Me and Euroleague get into a fight about Teletovic in the Mirotic thread and he disses Alan Anderson.

All of sudden this thread shows up.

Not very subtle Euroleague.

First I'm a Lebron stan and a Heat bandwagoner, now I'm Euroleague :roll: :roll: :roll:


Yes, actually, EL's post in that other thread is what got me to post this thread. That's the only thing you're right about. If you saw I actually dissed him immediately before but he gave me a good response and answered my question... so I acknowledged that. Clearly you haven't seen me trolling Euroleague in almost every thread he's made this past week :facepalm:


And I care because I watched when your Nets snapped our road winstreak (and also a few other televised Nets games) and was just in awe at how pathetically bad Anderson is. Why is Pierce starting at PF instead of SF? I had pegged the Nets to be a serious ECF threat but you're going nowhere starting trash like Anderson. He is a 3rd string SF at best. Insurance if all your other SFs are injured, like you said.

Cause we are winning with him at PF.
8-1 in 2014.
Including ending your 10 games win streak without our two best players.
Beat Miami and OKC this year (2014) as well.


Also, AA doesn't start unless someone is out (D.Will)
He's a minimum level player signed because we needed a 3rd stringer, playing because of injuries.. but also his defense (did very well on Melo the other night) and the fact he's a role player that doesn't need the ball unlike the rest of our team.

You can't be serious. I was about to make a thread about how Anderson was the best role player in the league. He's a lock down defender and always guards the opponents star, he shoots the 3 extremely well, he can act as a primary ball handler if necessary, he can create his own shot, he hustles and grabs boards and he provides great energy and passion that spreads to his team mates. And all on a Vets minimum contract. I never want him to leave the Nets.

Wow.. talk about a homer post.
Come on now.. he got the minimum for a reason.
I'm glad we have him, but this is the biggest hyperbole and overreaction I've read in a long while.

Ignore that clown. He's actually seriously arguing that Teletovic and Anderson are not selfish players. He ACTUALLY is disputing that.

They might be the two most selfish and most boneheaded players I have ever seen. And this guy just went ballistic over it even being mentioned.

He's been doing more drugs than the guy in his avatar.

Anderson has plenty of talent and ability. That's not the issue. The issue is how incredibly selfish and dumb he is.

Has there ever been a team in his whole career (besides the Raptors) that he was not kicked off of because of his nonsense?

This guy Anderson could shoot the ball on every possession of the game if you let him.......I don't think I'm exaggerating.

Not sure a selfish player would take the minimum to what originally looked like a 3rd string wing.

How many other role players off the bench would you take over him? I can't think of anyone that does all the things he does.

[Euroleague]

You need to put down the meth pipe for awhile.

[ChuckOakley]

How many other role players off the bench would you take over him?
A lot.
Including some on our team like AK.

[oarabbus]

Harrison Barnes
Jamal Crawford
Matt Barnes
Draymond Green
Jordan Crawford
DJ Augistin
Derrick Williams
Jeremy Lin


off the very top of my head

AK isn't really a role player off the bench. And even then Anderson has shown to be a better defender, ball handler and shooter than AK this season.

I should've emphasized off the bench. And Barnes, Crawford and Lin aren't role players by any means they're 6th men scorers that would be starting on many teams. By role players I mean your shooters, defenders, rebounders off the bench not your starting caliber players that just happen to be coming off the bench. And Anderson is much more versatile than every other player on that list.

[The JKidd Kid]

What is our record with AK and without him?

There are a lot of other more important factors to take into account. Like KG moving to center, Brooks offense stopping ass out of the line up, small ball etc. you can't seriously think that AK is the reason we turned it around especially when he is neither starting or finishing games.

[Legends66NBA7]

Not sure a selfish player would take the minimum to what originally looked like a 3rd string wing.

Euroleague is on point. Anderson was selfish in his time with the Raptors. He can definitely give you a little of everything, but he will jack shots and will not pass. And when his shots aren't falling, it will hinder the rest of his game.

He should just focus on defense.

:cheers:

Fair enough, like I said you know way more than I do about this. I just have an extremely strong dislike for low IQ ballhog players which Anderson came off as in the few games I saw. I don't like JJ but can't hate because he is clutch. I like Kobe because even though he can ballhog, if someone makes a nice cut Kobe will find them. Kobe's also good enough to be a ballhog, much like Carmelo. But when you're a role player who ballhogs...

I'll just put it this way: I'd take the Hinrich type on my team any day over the Anderson type.

I would've said the same thing last season, but watching Anderson this season really makes me question how he got the chucking label in the first place.

[Legends66NBA7]

Damn, thinking about it... we have 2 Alan Anderson's.

Terrence Ross and John Salmons, with Ross having more upside. They can also set their teammates up better.

[It's A VC3!!!]

You have to take the good and the bad with Alan. He does occasionally take a bad shot or two but his defense, enthusiasm and energy more than make up for that. He does seem to hit clutch shots for us a well, another bonus. I'd like for him to slash to the basket more often but the reason why we have went 8-1 is because every starting lineup needs a player that you don't need to run plays for but he will still get you 7 to 10 points per game. ( He's averaging 9 PPG with us).

Before the Brook injury we had five players that although sacrificed their egos, still wanted the ball in their hands. In our starting unit it's a known fact that Joe and Pierce are going to do most of the scoring and the other three players will chip in what they can, mostly off open shots.

I really like Anderson and hope that the Nets can re-sign him for one more season at the vet. min. At that price, he's worth keeping.

[ChuckOakley]

I would've said the same thing last season, but watching Anderson this season really makes me question how he got the chucking label in the first place.
He doesn't chuck per se but he is not shy about shooting.
I'm guessing he has a rather high FGA per 48.

IMO we could do better...but maybe not for the minimum.

[niko]

By chucking which he is really not doing this season. Last season he shot basically every time he got the ball.

[It's A VC3!!!]

That's due to being on a bad Raptors team and he was trying to increase his stock. Now that he's on a good team he stays within the confines of his game and only shoots when presented with an open look. Occasionally he will still heave a bad shot but he shoots that bad shot with confidence, which is what I can appreciate. He's a player that every team needs. Almost like a Tony Allen 2.0 when he was on the Celtics championship run.

He's absolutely nothing like Tony Allen. He's been a solid role player but Tony Allen was a defensive beast who has enough of an offensive game and huge balls that he can play big minutes. That doesn't sound like Anderson even a tiny little bit.

He's not Tony Allen at all.
This is homerism at its finest here.

Anderson is probably the weakest link in our rotation...as Terry should not be in it for long.

Anderson is not our weakest link. Because we don't run plays for him is why he's a great fit. He scores 10 PPG despite not running a single play for him. Other than AK and Deron, no other Net is a better fit than Anderson. Every team needs a glue guy and Anderson and Livingston do a great job of that.

Tony Allen had no offensive game. His offense was grabbing rebounds and putting it back in and hitting an occasional mid-range jumper.

I still maintain Terry died at some point and Pierce just carries him around the court, weekend at Bernies style.

[It's A VC3!!!]

And yet you compare Anderson a player who is all offense with him. What are you talking about?
I meant his comparative 10 PPG and hounding defense. They score in different ways but both put up similar stats and are of a similar age and point in their careers.
