David Andersen headed to Houston
The Houston Rockets began the process of bolstering their frontline today, acquiring the rights to 6-11 center David Andersen in a trade with the Atlanta Hawks. In return for the Australian big man, Houston is sending cash and future considerations to Atlanta.
Andersen, 29, was originally selected by Atlanta in the second round (37th overall) in the 2002 NBA Draft. He joins the Rockets after spending the 2008-09 season with Regal FC Barcelona.
“David has been a winner with every team he has played for in Europe,” says Rockets General Manager Daryl Morey. “He is a very well-rounded player who possesses good offensive skills and a very good shooting touch for a big man. David is a versatile post player who should fit well in Coach (Rick) Adelman’s system.”
A native of Carlton, Victoria in Australia, Andersen averaged 11.1 points and 4.1 in helping FC Barcelona to the Euroleague Final Four this past season. He was also a member of Australia's men's basketball team during the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. Andersen averaged 6.5 points and 3.5 rebounds for the tournament.

David Andersen to play in the NBA?
El Mundo Deportivo reports that australian-danish center David Andersen(2.11-C) is seriously considering leaving Barcelona in order to play in the NBA. The Atlanta Hawks have his NBA rights but never made him an offer and Andersen has expressed his wish to play in the NBA before. There is also an NBA-out clause in his contract if he were to bring an offer from an NBA team until July 15th.
Many scouts gathered to see Andersen in the Euroleague Final Four and when his agent Kenny Grant was asked, all he said was that his client can bring an offer before July 15th from an NBA team and break the contract but he didn't have any other comment. Andersen averaged 11.1 points and 4.1 rebounds in 23 games in the Euroleague with Barcelona.
