Miami Heat big man "Birdman" Chris Andersen can see the writing on the wall.

There is a good chance that Andersen -- who is now behind Chris Bosh, Hassan Whiteside, Josh McRoberts and Amar'e Stoudemire in the power rotation -- is not only expendable, but has to be traded, as his $5 million contract is going to trigger the Heat's punitive "repeater" tax.

Andersen, who had his career resurrected in South Beach, doesn't seem to mind, though, according to the Sun Sentinal.
