The Denver Nuggets signed forward-center Chris Andersen on Thursday
Terms of the deal were not disclosed but the Denver Post is reporting that it is for one year and worth $998,000.
Denver traded away the two-time Defensive Player of the Year Marcus Camby to the Los Angeles Clippers on July 15, and are hoping Andersen can help fill the void in the frontcourt.
The 6-10 Andersen played his first three seasons with the Nuggets and has career averages of 5.0 points and 4.7 rebounds over his six-year career.
The “Birdman” was suspended for two years for violating the league’s substance abuse policy before returning to the New Orleans Hornets last season, playing in five games. [Yahoo Sports]

That's not what your username suggests.
Anyone remember Birdman's 56,435,546 dunk attempts during the Slam Dunk Contest a few years back? Something I would like to forget.

birdman back on nuggets
If he says away from the Drugs, he can be a useful player.
He is athletic
can rebound some
if his head stays in the game, he is a good backup
