Guess that mysterious third team never existed.

[LEHGOCELTICS]

Good for him. He was a corpse in sneakers anyways. Time to bring BIRDMAN to Boston!

[Who]

Darn it

[fairweatherfan06]

People keep talking Birdman but isn't he still under federal investigation for child ****ography?

"A female fan in 2010 mailed Mr. Andersen multiple letters and included several photos in which she was scantily clad. Chris and this woman communicated with each other and in 2011, this woman, who represented herself as 21 years of age, flew to Colorado, showing her required identification. After leaving Colorado, she became upset at his lack of interest. In 2012, she threatened to retaliate if he did not provide financial remuneration. "

He'll be missed in that he was fun to watch and a guy who you really root for.

On the other hand, he shouldn't be the hardest guy on the planet to replace.

I am really happy for the guy.

[Roper]

my sources tell me Steamer is signing w/ Minnesota and Boston won't match... heard it here first!

[AshyLarry]

Peace out Greg, and thank you. Good vibes for the guy, he greatly exceeded expectations. Who predicted he'd be important to out rotation at this time (relatively;lockout) last year?

I'm gonna miss yelling AIR STIEMSMAAAAAA the few times he dunked the basketball.



now we need someone else to fill the goofy white guy role :/

[MJohnnyboy]

Already a thread, but I'd be intrigued to know what else your sources say. Any chance the Celtics are trying to get Blatche, Darko, Birdman, or Haddadi?

Good for him. He was a corpse in sneakers anyways.

You obviously weren't watching the 2nd half of the regular season.

[MJohnnyboy]

Happy for the steamer. He did what he was told and now he's getting paid. Fortunately he wasn't really a huge loss to this squad.

Wow easy to get caught up as a pro athlete.  In that case he and KG are peoples maybe its a go.

[hpantazo]

Good riddance. He was lucky the celtics were desperate for a big man and kept him around long enough for him to earn a real contract. I was always hoping the team would not lose ground every time he entered the game. Not what you want as a best case scenario from your 2nd best center.

Maybe now we can sign a legit backup center.

good for him, glad he found himself a payday
