Birdman back to Denver!

5 years is a lot.

 

I felt sorry for him when he got bounced from the league and had his contract voided. Hope he can stay sober now.

 

Called it... and people were saying we could get him....

 

LOVE the Birdman. Definitely my favorite non-rocket

 

Happy Birthday to Birdman he just turned 31 today. 5 years seems like a lot considering he will be 36 by the end of that contract. You'd never know he was that old though from watching the way he moves on the court. If I didn't know any better I'd probably thought he was 28 or so. It's probably cause he doesn't have too many miles. Glad to see he got a nice contract.

 

Pretty cool guy I really enjoy seeing him play.. He totally deserves and has earned every single cent plus the city loves him it will work out..

 

Yeah you would have to be a pretty big hater to not at least be happy for the guy....he earned that money. No doubt.

 

Birdman is the man.

 

Good for him. He played his way back to the NBA and does deserve this raise.

 

Probably the coolest, most down to earth guy in the league. I'm glad he got paid.

 

Did not realize he was 31, like you I thought he was younger than that. Surprised Denver would give the guy a contract for 5 years at his age, probably has a team option in year four making it guaranteed through year 3.

 

as my high school coach who coached him in basketball said "God damn, he was one of the dumbest people I ever knew. But yeah he can jump high."

 

5 years is a lot, but we got him at a discount (the final number will come in lower than the $26 mil that article speculates -- a LOT of incentives that he probably won't achieve). Reportedly quite a few teams offered him the full MLE for 3 years.
