Rockets shopping Ryan Anderson for help on the wing

The Houston Rockets have long been suspected of wanting to get rid of the $ 20 million a year deal that they gave to Ryan Anderson a few seasons ago, and now, I 'd like to say. team is changing staff after losing Trevor. Ariza and Luc Mbah have a free agency deal, they have been active recently trying to move Ryno for additional help.

Despite the signing of Carmelo Anthony and the arrival of James Ennis, Houston could still use reinforcements of shooters and / or defenders, and to this end, Kelly Iko of USA Today reports that the DG of Rockets, Daryl Morey, tries to oust Kent Bazemore of the Atlanta Hawks.

Houston has been interested in Bazmore for a while now and has been trying to get him in as a free agent in the 2016 offseason and has failed, but is said to be in his pursuit again in their endless search for three- and -d guys to place around James Harden and Chris Paul.

It is said that the Hawks would be willing to retake Anderson for Bazemore provided that they also received a strong compensation draft pick in addition to young talents, although a set of Anderson, Chinanu Onuaku and Houston's first-round pick in 2019 were rejected by the Hawks. They are apparently after a stronger prospect than Onuaku in exchange for Anderson.

Bazemore enjoys playing in Atlanta, and the Hawks consider him a veteran's locker room as they try to rebuild their lineup. with younger players.

There is no doubt that Bazemore would be a good choice in Houston if the Rockets managed to get out of it. He is coming off a strong season with an average of 12.9 points per game and has scored 39.4 percent, exceeding the limits of the bow.

He also has the defense in "three and D" covered, finishing with a plus-minus positive defensive in each of the last four straight streaks, including a +1.1 last year. He is also 29, or four years younger than Ariza, and he has considerably less wear and tear.

It's also not the only potential target of the Rockets in an exchange for Ryno.

Still rumored, the Rockets have expressed interest in Nicolas Batum, Demarre Carroll and Rocket Courtney Lee.

Batum's contract is even bigger than Anderson's, since he is expected to earn $ 76 million over the next three years seasons, but he's also a versatile player more useful than Anderson, and according to ESPN The Rockets are ready to take a long-term deal if it allows them to get rid of Ryno.

Batum had 11.6 points, 4.8 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game, and has also been a positive defender every year of his career. although his three-point shot has been in the last few seasons. It has not exceeded 35% in four years.

Carroll averaged 13.5 points and 6.6 career rebounds, 37% more than last season with the Brooklyn Nets, although his defense slipped slightly. It's in the final year of a $ 60 million four-year contract that will bring him $ 15.4 million this season, so there will likely be other moving parts in any deal for Anderson .

Lee spent two years with the Rockets from 2010 -2012, and he's coming out of his best season as a pro. He averaged 12 points per game career with the New York Knicks, and he shot 40.6% over the bow and is a career shooter at 39%.

It's not as defensive as the other targets, but that three-point shot would be good in a Rockets uniform. He is two years old, $ 12 million on his contract

So what do you say, TDS? If you could get your hands on one of these guys, which one do you prefer? And if some of Houston's young talent needs to be included (and it has already been determined that Onuaku is a non-go), who would you be willing to give up?
