Not sure if this was posted but according to the boston globe the rox are interested in the birdman (Chris Anderson) Not sure if i want him after his horrible dunks during A.S.W but could be a decent backup. Here's the link http://www.boston.com/sports/basket...2008/07/04/rivers_gives_maggette_call/?page=2
isnt he another PF with no offensive game? and with the overload already at that position? heck to the NO
I read this article on Yahoo a few days ago,but I doubt if the Rockets have much interest in him(at least I hope not). If he wants to make a comeback,he should go back to the Hornets provided they are interested in him.
According to unconfirmed fake internet posting craziness, Rox are giving full MLE to both Vujacic and Posey and are signing Horry, Barry, Cassell, and now Anderson. According to reality . . . FAIL FAIL FAIL
I find it a little humorous that the only reason you stated that you didn't want him was based off of his slam dunk contest and not the reason why he was suspended from the L...We're looking for quality players not flashy guys who can't do crap (i.e. Gerald Green). Unfortunately he is neither flashy or quality...
i can't imagine that we're looking for a power forward at this point... not with the holes that we do need to fill.
I'd take him over Loren Woods at backup C honestly. He has good hops, can rebound and block shots and is VERY mobile, active and energetic. A particularly great bench player, which we can use. It's hurting me to say this again this summer, but I think we need to trade Hayes. We also need to cut IMO Loren Woods and Mike Harris as there are better options out there for us. I'd like to go into camp with this big man rotation: Yao/Andersen/Deke Scola/Landry/Dorsey That is tremendous depth. PERSONALLY I would like Deke to become an assistant coach and for his spot to be taken by Woods, who has room for improvement and can play more minutes. However, if Deke wants to play, he absolutely deserves his spot. What would be to improve the backcourt depth and re-shuffle the backups at the 1,2 and 3. Luther, Francis, and BJaxx need to move in the right deal(s).
I prefer Shawn Camp. If you think Camp may be too old ,then I suggest Julies Erving ,or Elkin Baylor,Mossey Malone,Unseld ,or Jabbar,bill Walton. As long as Anderson is avaliable ,why aren't these legends?
Are you trying to be funny? I don't get this... Shawn Camp? Juiles Erving? Elkin baylor? Mossey Malone?
the birdman could be our version of adelman's kings' scot pollard. an energy guy who is able to play backup pf and backup c. there are some similarities. both have pretty weird looks, are white and have no offense at all. even the stats are pretty identical. let's sign him if he takes the veterans minimum. i'd cut woods and harris for him.
I thought he was a decent backup/C before he was suspended. Athletic, high energy and with Rodman-like hustle. I would take him if he was cheap and still can do what he did before the suspension. Honestly, his drug issues don't bother me. His character seemed good to me.
