Is he worth to be on this team and is there a roster spot for him? Maybe S.Williams spot? cause they are simular players athletic 6'10 shot blockers, just C.Andersen is probably much better.

would have loved anthony randolph... too bad we didn't save some money to offer him.  3 years $6 mil is a bargain.

Randolph is so overrated...dont know why ppl like him. How many teams has he play for already? Glad we didnt get him and cant believe the Nuggets sign him for 3 years

Celtics can get Anderson very cheap but do they want him?

We worked him out two years ago and didn't sign him.

[Boris Badenov]

We need someone. KG will miss at least a few games, and we don't know what Wilcox can give us.

Options are limited and growing more so daily. Heck, the Nets are "pursuing" Ryan Hollins!

A mistake at the time, I thought. We went with Patrick...

I didn't see him play last season really but unless he fell off and I missed it I would love to have him.  I doubt you do can better for what we can offer.

I am not a huge fan of Andersen, but I still think he would be a great pickup.  As a 4th or 5th big, he will give us nice depth, and some energy and rebounding that we could really use.  Basically he is a slighty richer man's Ryan Hollins.  If he comes for the minimum, get him signed.

Are you kiddin?

I dont even wanna hear any centers name in the same sentence as hollins.
Andersen is a far better defender, rebounder AND shotblocker and he has good hands compared to hollins who has a major case of butterfingers.

Eh, he is a better rebounder and shot blocker, but Hollins is a better positional defender.  Not sure about the hands though (I have barely seen Anderson touch the ball).  Basically, they both are guys you don't want in your rotation if you can help it.  But they both can be useful at the end of the bench and for spot minutes as energy guys.

Ive seen a lot of andersen, alot of denver games in the past so I KNOW what he does well. Andersen is a vet who knows how to play defense and hes always been a solid defender. Im not saying andersen is some superstar but compared to hollins he looks like one 

Hollins has never even averaged 1 block per season and the guy is 7 feet tall. Never even averaged 3 rebounds, like i said this guy is a complete bum compared to andersen.

I agree, but it speaks to the mindset of the club.

Yeah I agree.  There is a reason why Andersen had the contract he did and has had some decent ones over the years and Hollins can hardly stay in the league.

Exactly, the only reason hollins is in the league is because of his size. If he was 6-9 with his skills....
