Chris Andersen Agrees To Multi-Year Extension With Miami Heat.

Chris "Birdman" Andersen has agreed to a multi-year extension with the Miami Heat reported by Yahoo!

It has been chaos in Miami after losing LeBron James to Cleveland in costless agency, and the team is desperate to keep their core while also adding pieces to help win a championship. The latest move Miami made came Sunday as the Heat re-signed Chris Andersen to a multi-year extension. The terms of that deal are currently unknown.

The market for Andersen was said to be strong with New York, New Orleans, and Denver having been said to be in the mix. At 36 years of age, this may be Andersen's final contract.

Throughout two seasons in Miami, Andersen was very effective for the Heat, having a career year last season averaging 6.6 PPG, 5.3 RPG, and 1.3 BPG in 19 minutes of play, while shooting 64.4% from the field. He earned his money in the postseason by shooting 69.3% in 38 playoff games in Miami.

Andersen was banned from the NBA for violating the leagues anti-drug policy, and  his return in 2008 was a terrific story. Andersen nearly went down again after a internet hoax that claimed Andersen was guilty of pocessing child pornography, but Andersen was cleared of all charges in 2013.
