    Default Heat sign Chris "Birdman" Andersen to 10-day deal

    The Birdman is back in the NBA. Temporarily, at least.

    The Miami Heat announced today that they have signed forward/center Chris Andersen to a 10-day contract.

    Crazy how he's been a free agent this long. Dude had a PER of 19 last year. If he resembles anything close to what he was last year, that's a big boost to the Heat bench.

    He could end up starting there. Definite upgrade.

    i'd also wondered how he wasn't picked up earlier. I believe he'll be with the heat for the long run

    They can defiantly use his energy and rebounding, great pickup if hes still got it.

    He's had drug problems and he's 34 years old, for those of you wondering why he's been an FA for so long. He might contribute a little but we're talking about a career 5 & 5 basketball player.

    If he plays meaningful minutes more than likely he gets injured. That's why no one is rushing to sign him.

    Meh, might end up working out better than Turiaf or Dampier did.

    You think he's going to go from unsigned free agent for the majority of the season to starter on the championship favorite just like that? I think he'll play more of a Dexter Pittman role this year. They will have him on the end of the bench in case they need him due to injuries or something.

    Not sure how much left this guy has in the tank, but a low risk signing nonetheless.

    Could be exactly what Heat needs if its the good old hustling, rebounding, defending Birdman.

    Per minute / Per 36 for his career he has been very productive, 11 ppg, 11 rpg with 3.2 blocks a game.

    heat fans say kobe should be locked up for consensual sex that allegedly turned into rape because of "not stopping in time after she was finished"


    then those same heat fans welcome the services of chris anderson the pederast

    Seriously?
    Are we still talking about Bird being a pedophile?

    The whole case was based upon an extortion plot.. Bird was never found guilty of any wrong doing.
