Good for him. He deserves to get paid.

I'd bet $8mil he would be traded as an expirer.

There should of at least been SOME talk about them doing something this summer. The Nuggets haven't appeared to be fighting hard to keep up with the rest of the league's new additions.

It's good that they re-signed him. He is a Defensive Beast. I don't know if it was a good idea to have all the money at the end of the contract. I mean, they are going to be paying him 8 million when he is over 35, and I don't think he will still be the Birdman at that time.

Well, it's still a good signing. I also liked how Denver traded for Ty Lawson in the Draft. I don't like Anthony Carter. They finally got a good young PG that Chauncey can take under his wing. He can be their PG of the future.

They didn't have a choice, since Andersen had only played for them for 1 year they had no Bird rights for him. That basically meant if they chose to re-sign him he was going to take the majority of their MLE. Luckily at least they seemed to have found a stud on draft day, even though they started off without a 1st rounder in this year's draft.

Good to hear.

a) just because there hasnt been talk, doesnt mean they arent doing anything necessarily (the nuggets FO doesnt leak as much info as other teams do)

b) we have no cap space anyways so all the big names are out

c) just signing players for the sake of it isnt always a good thing

d) we have a nice TE that can be used all the way until november

Signing him was just their first priority, obviously there's more to come.

I'm glad Chris Andersen is sticking around in Denver. He's a great fit there.

Ty Lawson · 07-07-2009, 05:48 PM

As a Nuggets fan I'm really happy with this contract. He'll be underpaid at just 3 million this year and it allows Denver to make another move or two this offseason. Drafting Lawson, re-signing Bird, and using the TPE on a player like Zaza Pachulia or Chris Wilcox keeps Denver up with LA in the West.

I think this is the year Carmelo becomes an MVO caliber player.

Nugs are banking of him being suspended in the final season. Wise move.
