Anderson would provide great defense, and decent stats off the bench. For the Warriors, he’s averaging five points, three rebounds and two assists. Compared to Hauser, Anderson is also a better playmaker, which the Celtics like having.
Horford and the second-rounder would be near equal in salary to Anderson, and both teams could exchange some cash due to their huge payrolls. It would also help the Celtics get their young team even younger.
Should the C’s do this? Honestly, they probably should. They have the depth at center to lose Horford, and he’s only getting older. However, he is a fan favorite and still pretty efficient, so if they decide to not do it, it wouldn’t hurt them that much.
