Not being a real big NBA history guy, who's the oldest player to play in the modern ERA (1980+ on)... is it Moses Malone, or Parrish?
As for what Rodman could bring to the table.. I just don't see it. This is a team that is rebuilding, not contending. They might be doing this just to stir up some PR for attendance reasons, but other than that I just don't get it. Why would they want him clogging up a roster space that could be available for young talent? |

Attendance is actually fairly good this year. Carmello and the couple of free agents has had a good impact on ticket sales. I can't see that being the reason for doing it. One thing I could see is him helping Nene (formerly Nene Hilario) out quite a bit. The Nuggets really don't have an enforcer right now. The Kevin Willis type of guy who will come in and intimidate an opponent who's getting a little chippy. Maybe they want Rodmen for that role. I, for one, hope it doesn't happen. TroyF |

TroyF;
I guess the question is this: If given the opportunity, if you could have a 42 year old Dennis Rodman, 100% guaranteed without problems (off the court), would you take him? IE. Does he still have the skills to compete, without all that other nonsense? |

A Rodman with ZERO off the court problems? I take him in a second. People don't realize how smart of a player Dennis was. I remember watching him sit off to the side in warm up and stare at the basket. He was looking to see how the ball bounced off the rim and where they ended up. He also knew game situations inside and out. If you can get him without the baggage, he'd be perfect to have around in practice for the year. He wouldn't get a lot of minutes on the court, but you wouldn't ask him for that either. The problem is, with Dennis you get everything he has. That includes the baggage. I'd just as soon not have to deal with it. TroyF |

I guess Rodman is broke again and needs another paycheck. Seems he may be finding the profession of simply being Dennis Rodman doesn't pay quite as well as the NBA.
