So does anyone think he's the best defender Denver has for Dirk? He seems to be a very intelligent defender, 5x the defender Bonner, Kurt, and Gooden would be if they triple-teamed Dirk all game.
And SOT, any actuall news on Yiannis, or is it still KBP blowing smoke?
I would really like to see Anderson on the Spurs. He would be what you need next to Duncan. Good defender, rebounder and shotblocker.
What do you guys think is his price range?
hard to see denver not matching anything the spurs can offer him.
Bird will probably get 3-5 mill a year. I'd say Denver probably re-signs him on the low end of that though, because he really wants to be here and will most likely take a little less to stay. I can't see Denver letting him go either way.
as much as i like this kid
i don't see the spurs getting him this offseason
but he does sure do a good job on nowitski
but he loves denver but hopefully will sign a short term deal
I'd love to see Birdman as a Spur, but there's no feasible way we get him. The only way the Nuggets don't keep him is if someone else massively overpays for him (say 4 years at 7mil).
Too bad he was a meth head.
As much as he might like Denver, this guy needs the dough and even a $1 million a year difference, you telling me that would not matter to him? Also, won't Denver incur the luxury tax, costing them double? Seems to me Denver is chronically in that position, although I can't say I know their situation as of now.
What a difference a year makes! Last year during the off season, any mention of him as a potential free agent signing only brought a slew of jokes, criticisms, and put-downs. This year, he is almost universally desired by the entire forum.
lol the hornets must be kicking themselves for letting this guy walk
Funny how not doing crack improves your game.Quote:

As much as Birdman loves Denver, he is from Texas is he not? If there was any other place he would go, perhaps this would be the place.:drunk
It's amazing how everyone's so quick to judge. In these forums, I've seen him accused of doing heroin, being a meth head, being a drug addict, doing crack, doing coke, etc... the original rumor I heard when he was suspended was that he had done ecstasy. But the truth is, none of us really know. If he was going through a tough patch in his life, and made the mistake of doing E with some buddies one weekend it doesn't make him an "addict" and it very likely doesn't even make him a bad person, especially compared to others in the league who have beaten their wives, raped women, etc...
The vibe I'm getting already is that the Nuggets should be able to secure a verbal commitment from Chris Andersen on a new contract -- their first shot-blocker off the bench and the most popular Nugget not named Chauncey or Carmelo -- in fairly fast fashion. Andersen played for a mere $797,581 last season after a two-year drug suspension.

i expect anderson to sign quickly with the nuggets.
overhyped white boy
Chris Andersen would be my second choice after Wallace because of his blocking.
Five years is more than I'd want the Spurs to give Birdman. He's more of a good investment over two or three years.Quote:

Okay.I'll admit it. I LOVE this guy. He plays balls to the wall all the time. This isn't to say he plays WELL all the time, but definitely a 120% type of guy. He doesn't fit with the Spurs, I agree, but after hearing his story and watching him play I'll be a life-long fan. The NBA needs many more team-first hustle guys like "da birdman".Ever seen him flap his wings running back down the court?? Priceless! ...But he's just not Spur material, we need some offensive capability and all he'll do for you is block shots and rebound a bit.Quote:
