New Signing - Could be Chris Andersen

I know a girl Haislip used to "date" when he lived in Turkey. She said he didnt have a place here anymore. We need someone who isnt afraid to punch comeone in the face on the court every now and again!

dude,

you can't have a press conference if no one knows how to pronounce his name

it just can't happen, it'd be embarassing

Doug Melvin introduced CC Sa-bay-thia at the presser

If a man (Harris) took a bite of a sour apple (Haislip), and it tasted sour, and then another man (Hammond) decided to take a bite of that same apple, does that mean that the apple is no longer sour?

In a more straight forward analogy, if the Bucks sign Kwame Brown does that mean that he isn't a bust?

A lot of people called Joe Smith a bust too, but I sure liked how he played in a Bucks uniform.

After a certain number of years, the labels should kind of go away, and a guy can play, or he can't. I don't know where Kwame falls on that spectrum, I never really watched him play. But if he can play like Joe Smith or Brian Skinner did here, and do it for a few million a year, I'll take a bust like that any day.

What, you got sources too?

If it's not Haislip, and it's not Swift as he's not a FA, it's either Birdman or Landry (I don't know him, does he qualify as a great athlete?)

emunney · Post #172 » by **emunney** » Wed Jul 9, 2008 5:34 pm

Please be Landry.

jerrod · Post #173 » by **jerrod** » Wed Jul 9, 2008 5:37 pm

i just don't see anyway that it could be andersen

he didn't do anything last season and i don't see why any gm would sign him

bango_the_buck · Post #174 » by **bango_the_buck** » Wed Jul 9, 2008 5:40 pm

Pops would qualify as an athletic 4....and though he's no Alexander Johnson, I believe he also ranks high on CBQ's fav PF list (and might be someone she'd inquire about).

Craig Smith lit up the bucks for 30 Points and 10 Rebounds on December 15, 2007.

http://www.nba.com/bucks/news/gameday_M ... 71215.html

He played at BC.

I think he is an RFA, but Minny is stacked with Contracts (not really players) at PF.

He is a bit undersized for PF at 6' 7", so I imagine he would be "athletic".

I hereby put my nickel on it being him who will be signed. Final Answer.

I remember that because there were talks about people wanting him and immediate comparisons to the CV situation.

It would be ironic. Hopefully if that is who it is, it is a very small deal.

I could see Minnesota letting him walk since they have Al Jefferson.

Wich's original post didn't sound like the deal was contingent on the guy's current team not matching. If so, that knocks out RFAs like Landry/Smith.

Yep that is what I thought, which is exactly what told me it was Chris Anderson.

And CBQ saying whoever it was, was mentioned early (as what Chris Anderson) and alluding to the fact we have these high flyers and need a PG who can throw alley oops (which would be true with Chris Anderson). To me, that is who it is.

Another white man coming to the Bucks....everyone hide your coke....lol.

Explain to me again why these people "in the know" simply don't post who it is? Honestly, this is (Please Use More Appropriate Word).
