Tyson Chandler wants $20.7M per season, yes its true

[BRHornet45]

According to sources, Nene, Chandler and Gasol all set their early asking prices in the neighborhood of maximum-contract territory, starting at $14.8 million for Gasol, $17.7 annually for Nene, and $20.7 million for Chandler.

And despite the Mavericks' obvious need to hold onto Chandler to keep their title-defense hopes alive, the 10-year veteran told ESPN.com this week that he plans on being with a new team once training camp begins.

Lol, tbh who the fuck would pay that besides dumbfuck Cuban?

[DMC]

No one is going to pay him that, except maybe NY.

[Kyle Orton]

Lol, tbh who the fuck would pay that besides dumbfuck Cuban?

You fuckin stupid? Not even Cuban would pay him that seeing how Chandler, so far, has no intention to go back to Dallas. Cuban must've offered what he deserves, 10-14 max per yr

[DMC]

Chandler better not do a Latrell.

[pass1st]

Easy there, Nuggets fan, no need to go defending an owner that would give Dirk 100 mil a year if he felt like it .

[Kyle Orton]

:lol nuggets fan...you got me

Once again, you're proving to the board that you don't know shit.

[DMC]

Easy there, Nuggets fan, no need to go defending an owner that would give Dirk 100 mil a year if he felt like it .
He's a Mavs fan, just possessing the body of a Nugget.

[Jodelo]

If so, then leave!

[pass1st]

What's wrong, Nuggets fan? Are you somebody I should know, because honestly I just see a nuggets fan that hopped on the Mavs wagon.

[Kyle Orton]

Looking at Dallas' history of giving Centers shitty contracts (Damp, Wood, Diop) one could assume TC would get the money he is looking for but I don't think Cuban is THAT fuckin stupid.

[baseline bum]

Isn't the max salary limited to 30% of the cap in the new CBA? If so, no way he can come anywhere close to that kind of money.

[Kyle Orton]

What's wrong, Nuggets fan? Are you somebody I should know, because honestly I just see a nuggets fan that hopped on the Mavs wagon.

No dawg, he's a banned Mav fan using the name of a disgruntled emo Suns fan.

Isn't it obvious?

[DMC]

Hell, I could ask for 20 million a year. It doesn't mean Chandler won't settle for less. He just wants teams to want him. Cuban should do what he can to keep him around, within reason.

[JayTheClown]

LOL, I dont know who the hell Chandler thinks he is, but he is not a $20 million dollar player. His price will go down in about a week when he realizes the deal the players signed last month. I bet Chandler wishes Isiah was still a GM. :lol

[pass1st]

Meh, I dunno anymore. This forum has a lot of troll accounts, I don't bother reading between the lines.

I keep it simple since I wasn't around here for all that forum drama.

[Amarelooms]

Tyson is truly a punk bitch if this is true....Mavs trade for you and you come to a team with good chemistry...good guys and win it all ....then you act like a douche bag. Get paid but don't be an ass.....get out of Dallas dummy...you ain't as good as you think

:elephant

[MR.SILVER&BLack]

thought Nene said money wasnt going to decide where he goes. Chandler let the media get to his little brain & now he thinks hes a superstar. Fair starting price for Gasol.

[DJ Mbenga]

Lol, tbh who the fuck would pay that besides dumbfuck Cuban?

apparently according to marc stein:

http://imgs.sfgate.com/blogs/images/sfgate/warriors/2011/08/25/mark_jackson.JPG

[GB20]

he will never get that kind of money per season beside his toe could break any moment.

[Pelicans78]

The max for TC is around 15 million per season. The most I would offer him is 3 years 45 million.

[GB20]

Then he should buy the hornets

[mavsfan1000]

Talk about letting success get to your head. Fuck him. Move on.

[Killakobe81]

He should get paid ... but $20 mill? LOL for a oft-injured offensively limited center? :lol

[Bill_Brasky]

Wtf? Yeah he was a nice piece on a championship team but Dirk is clearly the main reason they won....without him do they even make the playoffs?

[Giuseppe]

Everybody has been singing his praises for nine months, and deservedly so. Without him the Mavs would still be O & Forever!.

Give him the fucking money.

[Giuseppe]

This seems to happen to players after they get a title for the first time! They let it get to their head.

That's just it:::Chandler never said a fuckin' word, nor blew his own horn. Everybody else did it for him. Then when it got down to cases he delivered on the spot--ran everybody off'n' the paint area, one at a time---made it real uncomfortable to be down in there, so everybody one at a time started drifting off'n' the paint area. Chandler did what Dirk could never do, Cuban could never do, what the Mavs could never do. Chandler rang.

Give him the fucking money.

[Jacob1983]

Can the Mavs afford it though? Aren't they already paying 30 million this year to Dirk and Terry? 20 million a year is high for Tyson Chandler. He's good but not 20 million a year good.

[ElNono]

Everybody has been singing his praises for nine months, and deservedly so. Without him the Mavs would still be O & Forever!.

Give him the fucking money.

Not an effing dime!

[Pelicans78]

He was clearly the 2nd best player on the Mavs. 20 million is a stretch, but 12-15 is not. He will get that somewhere, just not in Dallas.

[LkrFan]

Mavs: ONE & DONE Son! :lmao

[Stalin]

[Tuddy]

If the lockout has taught us nothing, it's that someone who has no moves and can't shoot will get close to $20 million/season

[lefty]

That's what it is.

There is not a lot of real, decent Centers in the NBA

We have hybrid players, PF's playing at the C spot.

Centers like Chandler know it, and know they will get a load of $$$$ because most teams are desperate to get a real, decent C.

[mavsfan1000]

Chandler is a hybrid center as well. Just a better version of one. You can play Chandler at PF if you had a scoring center.

[lefty]

Chandler is a hybrid center as well. Just a better version of one. You can play Chandler at PF if you had a scoring center.

Yeah he can play PF as well

:lol Chandler thinking he's worth Tim Duncan bank. He's a good defensive player, but he brings like a quarter of what Timmy brought to the table in his prime.

[elemento]

lol

Not even Cuban will pay him this kind of money. He is totally delusional.

[21_Blessings]

Can't really blame Tyson for the overinflated self-worth. He witnessed, first hand, a scared little Catalan bitch make 20 million while putting up 13/7 on 40% and playing zero defense last postseason.

[21_Blessings]

Chandler brought a ring. Carter/Blackman/Dirk/Cuban/Kidd et al & etc didn't do that.

Give him the fucking money.

[TDMVPDPOY]

dont the mavs still have brenda?

if the nba is low on bigs, why not go into europe and give money out to trash 7fts...

[Jodelo]

dont the mavs still have brenda?

Yep, that´s why i´m not worried, if he plays like he did in the Playoffs!

[DPG21920]

Golden State, Houston and Nets are all after Tyson hard per Marc Stein w/ Golden State likely the best fit.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

I wonder how much Turkoglu and Childress should demand for carrying the Suns to a Western Conference Championship.

[DPG21920]

:lol, It's a good thing Cull doesn't follow football secondaries DoK or else you'd have no room.

[DPG21920]

Tyson on the Warriors would be a good fit (assuming he stays healthy again). They would have finally made a smart move instead of getting a bunch of odd ducks that are just offensively talented and awkward with regards to a true position.

Curry/Monta/Wright/Lee/Chandler is a solid line up if Jackson can get them to play with any sort of discipline.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

:lol, It's a good thing Cull doesn't follow football secondaries DoK or else you'd have no room.
:lmao

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

What's funny is I don't think I even included Kyle Arrington in that prediction and he's leading the NFL in interceptions :lol

[Dex]

Chandler brought a ring. Carter/Blackman/Dirk/Cuban/Kidd et al & etc didn't do that.

Give him the fucking money.

Chandler put Dallas over the top because he brought them some defensive intensity, but he wasn't wholly responsible for them ringing. I'd venture to say it was like 60% Dirk, 20% Kidd, 20% Chandler et al. He was to Dallas like Robert Horry was to the Spurs in 05 and 07: a valuable and maybe even necessary piece to complete the puzzle, but he wasn't the major contributor in putting it together. That doesn't make him a max dollar kind of player.

Guys like Tim, Dirk, Kobe in their primes...guys that can bring it offensively every night, draw double teams, make teammates better, and be defensive stalwarts...those are guys who deserve 20M per.

Chandler was just a glorified role player; nothing more, nothing less. He deserves a good payday after what he did for the Mavs, but he is seriously overestimating his self worth.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

You have no room. You thought the Mavs with Tyson couldn't ring
lol pretending you did

sup Gerald Wallace

[DPG21920]

:lol That Tyson Chandler trade thread was epic. I was the voice of reason.

[Kyle Orton]

:lmao dickriding the blazers and Gerald Wallace

:lmao really fuckin wrong bout dem mavs

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

And it doesn't matter really. Saying the Mavs wouldn't ring/thinking the Mavs weren't a real contender isn't 1/100th as stupid as thinking the 2011 Suns were winning the Western conference and being sure of it.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Rating who's wrong was worse is for pussies and assholes. Wrong is wrong tbh.
That's so retarded even Culburn wouldn't say it.

[DPG21920]

:lol Wrong about Tyson

:lol Wrong about the Mavs

:lol Not being able to celebrate because you were so wrong

:lol Tyson Chandler, still outside the club, as the Mavs are closing that shit down.

[DPG21920]

But I'm not trying to get in the club :lol

Wrong is wrong, but you were more wrong since you are still trying to get in.

[DPG21920]

You can't celebrate. You were wrong. That would be like me or DoK celebrating :lol

You were wrong about Tyson coming in and even more wrong about him leaving the club :lol

He's not going to get 20M. But I also didn't believe everyone who thought for some reason he would be getting a pay cut after the year he had and with how big men are at a premium. We will see who is right. TC (on ST) said he's staying, I said he'll make more than 10M, so we will see who starts the year off on the right foot. If you are wrong once, yer done for the year per Tyson's rules :lol

but he wont get 10 million. cuban is probably thinking one and done and wants to reload in 2012 but thats a disservice to dirk. give him the shot.

[DPG21920]

I think Tyson will get more than 10M per year (at least on average), many don't believe that to be true. TC said he's staying with the Mavs. If one of us is wrong, we are done for the entire year per the rules. We'll see.

[DPG21920]

I think he's being unrealistic if he's expecting 20M per season.

[DPG21920]

It's not a bet where we have to leave. It's his unwritten rule, same with Cull, that if you are wrong about just one thing all year, you have no room to speak about anything else.

Tyson being the missing piece or a crucial piece doesn't mean he was the most important piece. That's still Dirk Nowitzki.

[Killakobe81]

Yes $20 mill is ridiculous, but Mavs fans expecting a LARGE hometown discount will be dissapointed. he may take less but I doubt a lot less.

[adrienne]

I didn't expect a "discount", but I expected him to be somewhat reasonable. He was key to the championship. I appreciate that. But he is not a max contract player.

[DPG21920]

Sure, but why aren't you mad at Cuban for not even trying to talk to him? He said they haven't really even reached out at all. That's on them.

[adrienne]

I am annoyed, but at least with Cuban it makes some sense. They wanted to know what was happening with the CBA before extending. That's logical, whereas Tyson's issue is that his pride is wounded. I can get onboard with something that makes financial sense even if I don't really like it.

[DPG21920]

It's not logical to have other teams showing interest when they have the same CBA stuff to figure out. He's not saying they are low balling him, he's saying they aren't really showing interest. Who knows.

[adrienne]

He has said he wanted them to make a deal with him before the lockout, and it took like hours into the deal finally being made for him to be talking about going anywhere but Dallas. I doubt they just "didn't reach out to him".

[DPG21920]

Well, either way, he was a major player and they aren't showing him respect (it appears) so he should be upset. Every player would be. Especially after Cuban paid Dampier/Diop and a list of other bad bigs.

[adrienne]

And I'm not to proud to admit that my opinion is partially colored by being bitter at him for leaving.:lol I am annoyed with the Mavs for not going all out to woo him, but I think he's being unreasonable.

[FkLA]

Brenda got a 6yr $55 mill contract, Erica a 7yr $75 mill contract. I think he was way more valuable this one year than those two players ever were for the Mavs. Cuban overpaying those two scrubs is what set this scenario up...Chandlers actual value might be in the $12-13 mill range but not in Dallas. I think $17-18/yr for Chandler would be reasonable and something he would agree to, wouldnt be surprised if Cuban gave him that tbh.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

I think $17-18/yr for Chandler would be reasonable
wow

[DPG21920]

I say 12-15.

[mavs>spurs]

if the mavs really haven't even expressed interest then they must be damn sure they can land nene or dwight

[Bill_Brasky]

Everybody has been singing his praises for nine months, and deservedly so. Without him the Mavs would still be O & Forever!.

Give him the fucking money.

Did Artest deserve $20M for bailing out Kobe?

[Killakobe81]

IF he makes more than $15 mill Cuban is a sucka and the window will be closed sooner rather than later ....

Give him the full 4 years if he shaves a couple million off the per year numbers ... maybe 4 years 56 gets its done. No way he should get a max ...or close to it.

[sefant77]

How about talking GUARANTEED money in those contracts? Thats all what matters, not the total numbers.

Dampier had 60/6 guaranteed and the last year was the dust.

Haywood has 41.5/5 guaranteed and the last year is a "Woodchip".

And btw Haywood isnt overpaid with 8.4 a year and for sure he isnt a scrub.

[DJ Mbenga]

I didn't expect a "discount", but I expected him to be somewhat reasonable. He was key to the championship. I appreciate that. But he is not a max contract player.

you got reports saying cuban wants him at 10 million. i mean thats a paycut from his last contract and way below market value. if they can justify it as take the cut so we can resign butler then i think he might do it. but its just so cuban can save money for 2012.

[DMC]

Wow people acting like 10 million a year is chicken feed. That's 122K per game in an 82 game regular season. How the fuck can that not be enough?

This shit is why we had the lockout in the first place, people over valuing players.

Yeah Chandler's attitude is the opposite of Dirk. Dirk wants to be on a winning team. Chandler just wants a big paycheck. I thought this team was too old to win it again anyways. Time to rebuild.

People saying that a guy is worth 20M because he was the third or fourth fiddle on a championship team? GMAFB.

Put him on a team without two or three All Stars around him and a HOF point guard to lob him oops, and Chandler wouldn't do shit, and that's probably what's going to end up happening for whoever breaks the bank for him.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

^This finally brought much needed sense to this thread

I'd say Chandler is worth 10-12 mil a year max

[LnGrrrR]

14 mil seems fair. Players coming off a championship year always expect a bump in pay raise. That's one reason why its so hard keeping teams together.

[DJ Mbenga]

at least pay him 13. at least pay him more than that trash haywood.

[DJ Mbenga]

14 mil seems fair. Players coming off a championship year always expect a bump in pay raise. That's one reason why its so hard keeping teams together.

To be fair, the Pats have had so many secondary injuries they have fucking Edelman playing nickel.

Of course, the secondary did suck so bad that he wasn't that bad of a replacement. Hey DoK, would you rather have Edelman on defense or offense? CROFL

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Sucks for Dallas, as this probably eliminates their hopes of repeating.

[Giuseppe]

Penny wise & pound foolish.

Give him the fucking money.

[Killakobe81]

14 mil seems fair. Players coming off a championship year always expect a bump in pay raise. That's one reason why its so hard keeping teams together.

This. No way you guys can expect him to take a cut. Sure he was overpaid last time (based on his health) ...sure he will be overpaid this time, based on being the 2nd most important piece to a title team. But like Lngrr says 14-15 over 4 should get the deal done. That is 56 or 60 million. If he says no to that with his history of injuries and limited post-game ...let him walk. But expecting him to take less is laughable. No way his agent let's that happen ...

[adrienne]

Did someone in here say he should take a pay cut and I missed it? Because I certainly didn't say that. I know he's going to get more money. $20 mil/year is ludicrous.

[Killakobe81]

Did someone in here say he should take a pay cut and I missed it? Because I certainly didn't say that. I know he's going to get more money. $20 mil/year is ludicrous.

Never said you said that ...I think both DPG and I are just basing it off of Marc stein's reporting of the Mav's intentions.

I agree $20 mill is ridiculous ... read above. Cully is the one who says "just pay him" ...

[Sportstudi]

$12-14 mill sounds fine, but I wouldn't give him more. Given his history of injuries and his limited offensive game, $12-14 mill seems to be fair IMO. But not more. No way in hell he deserves $20 mill. That's ridiculous in every aspect. If he takes 12-14 mill, it's fine. Otherwise, let him walk.

[FkLA]

wow

Dont just ignore the rest of the post nlgga, I said his actual market value is probably in the 12-13 mill range...but his value in Dallas (relative to Brendas and Ericas contracts) is higher than that.


How about talking GUARANTEED money in those contracts? Thats all what matters, not the total numbers.

Dampier had 60/6 guaranteed and the last year was the dust.

Haywood has 41.5/5 guaranteed and the last year is a "Woodchip".

And btw Haywood isnt overpaid with 8.4 a year and for sure he isnt a scrub.

Ok, so Damp got 10 mill/yr and Brenda got 8.4/yr to back up Tyson... and you guys are expecting Chandler to be content with 12-13 mill after playing such a big role in a championship season? I wouldnt take any less than 16 if I was him either tbh.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Two shitty contracts don't validate a 3rd shitty contract

[DPG21920]

It's not a shitty contract IMO. If you don't think he'll ever be healthy again, sure, but his production for a big man warrants that 12M.

[Giuseppe]

You think what DoK is doing to me via The Prediction is stiff & stern...just let the Mavs fuck this up and permit Chandler to walk away. The Prediction will look like a fuckin' Sunday School fuckin' picnic compared to what I'll lay on these humps.

[DPG21920]

Also, I just read that the reason DAL might be holding out is because they are actively going after Chris Paul and are willing to trade without restrictions even if Paul says he won't sign an extension (they think they can convince him to stay).

[Giuseppe]

It's not a shitty contract IMO. If you don't think he'll ever be healthy again, sure, but his production for a big man warrants that 12M.

It warrants 12-14, but for sure not 20.

[mavsfan1000]

Dallas is in no position to deal. How about bring back the team that won it, with addition of a healthy Butler and try to defend your title. A healthy Dallas is just as good as any team out there. You owe Tyson and JJ. Cuban was foolish to burn money on so many worthless players in the past, now he wants to play hardball with the guys that brought him a title. Other FA's will take note of that.
This team is too old to just remain the same. Butler. lol He wasn't a good fit when healthy. Unless he doesn't mind backing up Marion.

I would agree with this, except for the fact that Tyson and Butler both want way more money than they are worth.

The Mavs are going to have to start developing their youth this year, and hope they can make some sort of splash in FA before the deadline this year, or next offseason.

WTF? The Mavs were playing their best basketball of the season while Butler was still healthy (arguably even better than how they played in the playoffs, because of the defense and size he provided). After he and Dirk got hurt was when everything went to hell, and it pretty much took the entire rest of the season for everyone to figure out their roles, which fortunately they got down just in time for the playoffs.

Two shitty contracts don't validate a 3rd shitty contract

Thats not the point. Im just saying I can understand where Chandler is coming from with his high demands...Id feel slighted too if Cuban was willing to dish out two previous shitty contracts to two shitty bigmen, and then simply want to pay me market value after being the anchor on defense of a championship team. Chandler deserves to get overpaid, maybe not 20.7 mill per, but I wouldnt take any less than 16 if I was him.

Would somebody pour a little cyanide in this b3aner's burrito already

I don't wish to come off as petty & small, but, let us not lose sight of the fact that it was me that first supported Chandler.

He cant be that stupid. It must be his agent doing what agents do.

You're the one placing challenges, therefore it's your duty. I already drove to Houston looking for Kool and he did a no show. I got finals coming up, I'll stay right here and you can meet me any day motherfucker. Make my day, I fucking hate b3aners.

$14-$15 is fair ...he wants more tell him to kick rocks ...

[LnGrrrR]

14 mil is fair, but I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up pulling down 16/17.

Youre the one claiming you want someone to take me out nlgga. Quit being a pussy boy and put in your own work. Drive down here and step up to a real Mexicano. Name the place bitch.

Agree that thats pretty fair, but Im with Ln on this and think Cuban will likely go alittle higher... definitely shouldnt go up to 20.7 though.

[PM5K]

Isiah Thomas wouldn't even pay that.

[stretch]

most recent rumor ive heard on Chandler is that 4yr/50 mil should be enough to net him.

also reports that Chris Paul is fond of the idea of to going to the same team Tyson Chandler is on...

No way he takes that. 56 million for 4 I could see him take ...

[stretch]

what I listed was the absolute minimum amount. im sure he gets more as well.

[Giuseppe]

^Hell, after The Prediction, I'm rubbed raw.

GD DoK,,,he made me get my petty & small on.

[mavs>spurs]

DPG just better hope that Tyson doesn't resign, else I'm crawling up that ass and digging in for the winter.

[Giuseppe]

^You'll have to go thru his aunt to get to him.

I'll help.

[Ashy Larry]

20 million for 10 and 10???? Damn. Just thin what the majority of the 80s scrubs would have gotten because those were number put up by the 9th best player on most squads.

I love Compton's Finest but he's not with 20 million. Only a few players are and he's not one.

[Giuseppe]

20 million for 10 and 10????

No. Uh uh. 20 million for doing what Dirk & Cuban couldn't do, no matter what they did.

It looks easy now because its the December after the June. & because "you" didn't have to do it.
