Whether we add Anderson or Best one make any difference other teams have retooled and we sat on our asses signing washed up players that could not sign let alone play elsewhere. Unless Danny has something up his sleeve we have resigned Blount, McCarty, Sundov, and kept the same lineup we had last year which did not take us far.
If Philly lands Marc Jackson whom we should have gotten out of Mchale, I will be real pissed. If Jersey wants Lester Conner we want Planinic or Coleman in return.

Assuming the Cs can get either Best or Anderson for the same price, whom do you prefer and why?
I'm torn. On one hand, Kenny knows the O'B system (such as it is), and I've always thought of Kenny as more of a pure point than Travis. On the other hand, Kenny's a year older -- also, I've always thought of him as more of an ego problem than Best and I'm not sure he'd be willing to play mentor to Banks. (I wonder how involved Cousy will be in that capacity. Come to think of it, how great would it be to have Cousy working with Banks and Russell working with Perkins?)

P.S. Looks as though there will be one fewer attempted murderer loose in NYC. I'm just surprised Layden didn't make more of a play for Andre Miller, hire Rick Majerus as coach, and change the name of the team to the NY Runnin' Utes. (Typical fan's reaction: "Utes? Whaddyatalkinabout? Dat Houston's gotta be at least toity-tree!")
