<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Chris Andersen is set to make his return from a NBA drug suspension after being reinstated by commissioner David Stern on Tuesday. The New Orleans Times-Picayune, citing two unnamed sources, reported that Andersen will re-sign with the Hornets this week if he passes a physical. When he was banished, Andersen was earning $3.5 million in the first year of a four-year, $14 million contract he had signed the previous offseason. If the Hornets want to re-sign him, they would have to tender him a contract for the remainder of the season equal to a prorated portion of his old salary. (If his salary had been above $5 million at the time of his suspension, the maximum the Hornets could have offered him for the rest of the season would have been a prorated portion of $5 million, which was the amount of the midlevel exception at that time.)</div> Source Welcome back, Birdman.
This is awesome. I wanna see him when he firsts plays. That'll be a priceless moment. I wanna see him get a dunk of the night, or block of the night by season's end.
Finally, I can't wait. He was that cool white guy who can block and dunk and add some much to a team. I hope the fans can cheer him back and he'll get some good minutes.
