The Rockets had an extra instructor at Saturday practice with former Rockets forward Ryan Anderson at the workout, helping with some shooting drills before and after practice. Anderson, who played two seasons with the Rockets, not including his two games in 2019-20, has been splitting time between Houston and California but will spend the season in Houston.
Ryan Anderson sounds off on his Houston years

Ryan Anderson says he was unfairly criticized by Rockets fans when he played two seasons in Houston under a big free agent contract. “It was a new thing for me, because I had sort of always been the underdog, overachieving and now I was sort of the overpaid guy who was underachieving from what they wanted even though I was doing everything that they paid me for and we were the most successful team in the NBA,” Anderson said in Thursday’s episode of The Long Shot podcast hosted by the Miami Heat’s Duncan Robinson.
“It is a tough thing when you’re getting zero credit, especially when you’re making a lot of money and you’re getting two shots with like two seconds left on the shot clock and you miss them and you’re 0-for-2 from 3 and everyone says that I suck,” Anderson admitted. “… This is the greatest part about not being in the NBA right now because I can just unload on how much that pisses me off. People don’t want to hear it. I made a lot of money, I’ve lived a great life. I’m so blessed, I love it, but the game’s not fun when you have to just stand there and you’re not involved at all. You want to be involved, you want to be a part of the offense.”
Anderson played sparingly in that postseason, seeing just 28 minutes of action in the seven-game series the Rockets lost to the Warriors in the Western Conference finals. His playing time was cut drastically, at least in part due to the Rockets’ switching style that exposed him defensively, which Anderson made a joke about at his own expense. “And, I’m not a good defender either, so I’d always have to switch on Steph Curry, and he’d make buckets on me and then I’m the idiot,” Anderson said.

Albert Nahmad: With Ryan Anderson’s waiver from the Rockets now official, the Heat’s annual $5.2M dead-money cap charge through 2021-22 is now locked in, unless he’s claimed or can earn at least another $946K during the 2019-20 season (at which point it would fall $1 for every $6 he earns).
