Yeah, but Portland is paying a huge chunk of Anderson's salary.  That
will create a lot of space under the cap.

I don't understand why this is a good trade.
Kenny Anderson seems worse than having Dee Brown.

Anderson has a contract that ends after the 2003 season.
He gets 5 million a year


Dee has a contract that ends after the 2001 season.
Dee get's 3.5 million a year.

I know Anderson is a much better Point Guard, but I think we shouldn't
get him.
