BEdge Challenge: Chris 'Birdman' Andersen

by GonzoFan on May 15, 2009 1:11 PM PDT

You commented on Monta (barely), came up with some pretty good ideas regarding Kirk, a few of you got down right nasty with the LeBron James post (thanks for playing tikiliki) and now MiledAnimal has basically come up with his own version regarding CP3.

Remember, Bedge-holes, this is meant to be a game of sorts. Who can come up with a strategy to bring this player in? My original intent was to make these posts regarding names that keep getting brought up for next year as possible acquisitions (even though, admittedly, I threw out a curve ball with Monta Ellis). Is it fluff? Maybe. Do you have to participate? No. Just thought it would be a good way to pass the time before the draft and July 1st trade moratorium is lifted and let some of the CBA junkies in here strut their stuff.

So this time I'm going with the Birdman. What would it take? I look forward to hearing your ideas and a little healthy discussion.

Bird Man

It would take a good tatoo artist, a lot of hair gel and a desire for him to play here, sadly we only have 2 out of the three

It seems that everyone's real problem is they just don't drink enough coffee. They lose their edge, lose track of their priorities, and end up sleeping a third of their life away.

Good one.

Yeah

But the Portland area doesn’t have NEARLY enough hair gel.

I know less than half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.

well

he’s an unrestricted free agent… so if we wanted him, we could probably have him.

I'd take him

he’s tough, edgy, and there’s no indication that he’s a bad locker room guy or a bad teammate.

We have centers

Have him backup LMA

He plays backup minutes right now anyways, and would be what we want in a backup… great defender, plays hard, rebounds, blocks shots, can hit a jumper if he has to…

I’d take him!

"I can't get enough of that running-the-hands-through-the-hair thing he does. It's the most awesomest thing in the whole NBA. Keep on greasin', Birdman!"

The funny thing is (I got this from Rudy's blog)

There is really no need for him to run his hand through his hair because he uses so much gel there is no way it could possibly be out of place.

It's his secret weapon

Bulletproof hair. But he can also put his head down and stab you like a procupine.

Procupine just sounds nasty.

He is my least favorite player in the NBA

I want nothing to do with him. He’s a great player for another team but not portland.

Reasons I hate him
1. He was banned from the NBA for 2 years due to “drug abuse”
2. He looks retarded with all those tattoes and hair gel
3. He does retarded celebrations after blocks/dunks

he’s pretty much the modern day dennis rodman…. I would not have wanted that guy either.

I'm not going to get into someone elses addictions or personal problems

I do take exception to him sticking his tounge out at the Blazer bench.

Chris Andersen: I applaud him getting his stuff together, but I don’t have to like him.

That was funny when he was strutting after getting away with a goal tending no call.

by Escrote on May 15, 2009 4:34 PM PDT up reply actions

How about this

1) Offer no one.
2) Don’t get Chris Andersen.

Seems pretty simple to me.

“I think the two things that happened that are pretty amazing, haven’t seen happen in the NBA in a long time is, it seems like our fans cheer louder when we make a defensive play than an offensive play, and also when Chris Andersen comes in to the game. There’s an amazing energy and spirit that comes on to the court and most of Chris’ spectacular plays are defensive plays. And, he has a tremendous way of taking a good offensive possession by the opposing team, and turning it in to a good offensive possession for us. A lot of Chris’ defensive plays turn in to 4-point plays."-George Karl

Roy is the best player in the world with the exception of Incarcerated Mike from Queensbridge .
