Nazr and Barry for Tyson Chandler.

[TheWriter]

Would you pull the trigger?

[RobinsontoDuncan]

No.

[Spurs košarka kultura]

Back problems scare me.

[Rick Von Braun]

Hmmm... probably not but I would seriously consider it.

[Kori Ellis]

Back problems scare me.

Ditto.

[Experiment2100]

no

[TheWriter]

Let me switch it up.

Rasho and Barry for Chandler?

[RobinsontoDuncan]

ummmm....... No. well...... No.

[RobinsontoDuncan]

Rasho for Chandler strait up? Nazr for Chandler starit up? Yes to both, but even when his shot isn't falling i have never seen Barry on the floor be a net negative, he either makes a good pass or penetrates, or something.

Therefore it makes no sense to trade an impact player and a good role player, for a pretty good rebounder. Well an awesome rebounder, but his offensive game is more limited than Rasho's.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Um, hell no. Chandler is destined to be another Charles Smith (of the NY Knick variety).

What part of back problems don't you guys get? Tyson's destined to get hit by the same problems as Smith (and our own DRob).

No thanks. With an offseason under the Spurs' guidance, Nazr is going to be a beast. Fuck all you doubters.

[Dex]

Negative.

What does Charles Smith have to do with back problems? He had a chronic knee.

[exstatic]

Agreed, LJ, BUT...back problems this young are a red flag.

[timvp]

Yeah, a bad back out of high school isn't a good sign. Though TMac went through something similar and I haven't heard about it flare up anytime recently.

[Nikos]

Tyson Chandler is an excellent defender. Charles Smith was more of an offensive player. Not really an apt comparison.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Sorry, I was trying to stress the whole Charles Smith <----> damaged goods connection.

Chandler, with back problems this early in his life, is destined for an early retirement. I'd rather it not be with 3-4 years and serious money still owed to him by San Antonio. Let Chicago swallow that pill.

[Guru of Nothing]

I like Tyson Chandler, but I would not pay him a lot of money.

[exstatic]

Though TMac went through something similar and I haven't heard about it flare up anytime recently.

Didn't he miss time at the end of last year? And then Philly held out Iverson, since they were in a scoring race, or was it vice versa?

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

The only thing that was really hurting was TMac's ass, from all the rapings he took playing for a bad team.

[grjr]

Yeah, I was thinking that TMac had more of a case of Raptormagicitis- Inflammation of the ego.

[Kori Ellis]

No, TMac actually has a problem with his back. He's had it since his rookie year and from what I understand still has it periodically.

[smeagol]

Chandler is not that good.

[ducks]

wait tell the after the playoffs

[T Park]

no.

Nazr > Chandler.

1. hes not chronically hurt like Chandler.


Period.

[ChumpDumper]

Nazr's feets disagree.

But the back is scarier.

[T Park]

Nazr's feets disagree

Well, knock on wood, he hasn't had many problems with his feet.

[ChumpDumper]

Um, he missed half a season with a stress fracture in his foot.

[T Park]

how long ago.

Plus, wasn't it just a one time thing?!?!?!?!

[timvp]

No. He had foot surgery and missed the beginning of the 2002-03 season. Then came back in December but by March, he had to have another surgery for another stress fracture on the same foot.

[T Park]

hmm.

Well hes made it through almost two years, maybe its fixed.

Either way, Chandler is a FA and I dont think hes signing here.

I know Drob had back problems his entire career but honestly, was a player that good that much of a problem????


Chandler's a RFA i think.

S&T is what i believe they're talking about here.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Back problems ended David's career. They'll end Chandler's too (albeit at a much younger age).

[sickdsm]

I think you need to take a look back at that draft and see the other guys on that list. Would you have taken a healthy reggie instead? Hell no. Scottie Pippen? No. His back injuries in the big picture were a minor detail. Besides. Out of that list the only names i recognised that played last year were Scottie (we all know how that turned out), Reggie, Horace Grant, and Mark Jackson.

The only one to play legitamate minutes and games was Reggie Miller.


Talent > Back issues

The question should be is how much better is Chandler than Nazr.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

He's not. Next.

What good does Tyson Chandler do the Spurs in four years if he's retired?

And finally, comparing Tyson to any of those guys is laughable. He's still raw and underdeveloped. The question is can that talent be developed and taken advantage of before his back goes goodbye.

Don't you have a lotto to get ready for Sick?

[baseline bum]

Bird's back was screwed from 83 on, but he's the toughest mother to ever play the game. Still, it made him one of the worst defenders in the league. David still had some excellent years after his injury in 96, but he was never the same player after and I honestly can't see Chandler just sucking it up and taking the shot the way David did twice in that 2002 series vs LA.

When did Pippen mess his back up? I thought it was in 98, and he was a shell of himself after that season.

[exstatic]

David did NOT have back problems his whole career. They started in 1996, when he played in the Olympics with a hernia. Trying to compensate for that (he never should have played), he injured his back. He was truly never the same after that.

[Gerryatrics]

A little late, but I'd just like to say...

No.

[Slo spurs fan]

I would change Nazr and Barry for Tyson...
