    The Rockets have traded center David Andersen to the Raptors for a second-round draft pick, according to sources.

    Yay!
    He Wouldnt Have Gotten Alot Of playing Time This Season Anyway
    He’s nowhere near good a shooter he was advertised and couldnt really rebound or defend
    And Jordan Hill Will Get More Playing Time

    Houston now

    they look like a good team possible 4 seed in the west after the Lakers, Thunder, and Mavs

    they’ll be there with the Nuggets and Jazz and Spurs

    Brooks – Lowry
    Martin – Budinger – Harris
    Ariza – Battier – Harris
    Scola – Patterson / Hill – Jeffries
    Yao – Miller – Hill

    Miller will get more minutes in the regular season

    GREAT pick up for Toronto. Finally Colangelo does a decent move.

    The Raptors will be a fun team to watch though because they have a lot of potential on their roster…who knows how good sonny weems will be as a starter? who knows how good the bargnani/derozan combo will end up? ya know?

    The guy who should be b*itchin about this is amir johnson-he just lost his starting spot

    The Rockets just wanted to open a roster spot and save some money. They may look for a 3rd PG or just leave it open in case if they want to sign someone in the mid-season.

    Andersen isn’t needed now that Brad Miller is signed and Yao should be back. They free some cap and get some cash and a heavily protected 2nd round pick (meaning likely not gonna be sent to the Rockets).

    The Raptors basically use the TE to get yet another Euro style big man. Luckily, they only paid cash this time, a top 55 protected 2nd round pick isn’t likely to go to Houston.

    smart move by houston
    forseeing early chemistry problems with court time to move Andersen to a team that needs experience
