Aug 2010 interview with Andris Biedrins courtesy of Golden State of mind

"Well, it is what it is…it is what it is…The first few years when you are young you can run like a horse but now the injuries pile up. One year you sprain one ankle, the next year you sprain the other one and they don’t go away, they keep getting weaker and weaker. Then you sprain your back, then you have muscle surgery and they all aren’t going away. You will never get a new ankle and they start to ache; you start to feel the old injuries. So, if you play 6-8 years, you will have so many injuries, that I guess I won’t be playing a long time. Something like playing till I’m 30 years old but I won’t aim a lot further than that. I don’t want to damage my health further. The things I’ve seen in America from players that come to games in their fifteenth career year is not something I want because they look pretty bad. It’s like Keith Smarth says to us "you start to really feel these injuries when you’re 40 years old or something, all these injuries, that you have gotten, when you were 20-25." So I would never want to put myself in a position where I have to walk with the aide of a cane when I get older."

So then Utah would go big. NBA.com
