So Birdman will be free from Alcatraz in a couple of days. Where will he land? Will Joe D make a move?

Was Birdman>Brezec, even?
If so, it wasn't by much. and two (?) years away from professional basketball won't help his cause.

Birdman>Brezec

How long was Little Penny away from the game when 'Riles' signed him without borrowing our trainer.

I highly doubt Joe will even consider him as a option for us.

duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Penny WAS a great player before his injuries so Riles took a flyer on him.
Brezec was NEVER a great player and never will be a great player.

Birdman showed more 3 years ago than Brezec showed the Bobcats or the Pistons.

Riles is more needy for talent now than he was in October 2007. My statement was directed to the TOPIC of who might take a flyer on Birdman.

I would think the Hornets would get the 1st crack at him.

To me its not worth waiving Brezec to have Andersen potentially play Hermanns role.

The Birdman wants to come back, but there's no telling whether there will be a clear or speedy flight path for his possible return to the NBA. Chris Andersen, who was "dismissed and disqualified" from the NBA and the New Orleans Hornets on Jan. 27, 2006, after testing positive for a prohibited substance, is eligible to apply for reinstatement beginning Sunday -- exactly two years after he was thrown out of the league.

If Andersen's application is granted, the Hornets would then have a 30-day exclusive window to tender him a contract for the remainder of the season. Sources have told ESPN.com that the Hornets are indeed quite interested in bringing Andersen back to a roster short on front-court depth. Should the Hornets decline to sign him, Andersen would become an unrestricted free agent and could sign with any team.

When he was banished, Andersen was earning $3.5 million in the first year of a four-year, $14 million contract he had signed the previous offseason. If the Hornets want to re-sign him, they would have to tender him a contract for the remainder of the season equal to a prorated portion of his old salary. (If his salary had been above $5 million at the time of his suspension, the maximum the Hornets could have offered him for the rest of the season would have been a prorated portion of $5 million, which was the amount of the midlevel exception at that time.)

Any reason he didn't play in Europe while he was out? Are we sure he hasn't really let himself go? Would we get his Bird Rights if we did an S+T? Hmmm...
