Chandler: I saw Mavs' struggles coming

[Mel_13]

Some people may be surprised by the defending champion Dallas Mavericks' 0-2 start.

Knicks center Tyson Chandler isn't one of them.

"I kind of seen it coming," he said.

Chandler -- the Mavs' starting center last season -- says the way Dallas approached free agency was a bad sign.

"I'm not saying that they don't have the pieces there [to compete for a title]. I obviously think very highly of those guys," Chandler said. "But I say that because they offered everybody one-year deals, so they knew nobody was going to necessarily accept that. So you're basically telling all the players in the locker room, 'We're playing for free agency next year after a [year after winning a] championship.'"

[TE]

They don't have big brother Tyson to bail em out on defense anymore. Who didn't see the Mavs struggle coming?

[monosylab1k]

kinda funny that he's so asshurt about a business decision the Mavericks made when he made a business decision of his own to go to the Knicks. If he really loved playing in Dallas that much he'd have just taken a one year deal and that would be that. But he didn't, so he's just as guilty as Cuban of sacrificing a title defense for the future.

Just talk about how great you loved winning a title and shut the fuck up about the rest, faggot.

[monosylab1k]

Can't really blame the nlgga, dude just wanted a long term security contract cause he be injury prone tbh

Exactly. He got what he wanted and the Mavs got what they wanted. All his extra talk just shows he's fucking butthurt about a business decision the Mavs made, when he's just as guilty.

[mavsfan1000]

And we see the Knicks not winning either. Fuck you Chandler.

[#41 Shoot Em Up]

Damn i'm getting sick of hearing this nikka speak and Mavs fans in general bringing him
up every time we struggle... this fool two seasons ago was a nobody... Mavs took a chance and maxed him out imo. Then he wouldn't take a 1 year deal for $20 million?? Cry me a river trick bitch.

[DMC]

TC made the right move. Cuban probably did too, but it won't be apparent to anyone other than his accountants.

[InRareForm]

Mavs fans maddddd

[Scrub]

Role player butthurt over being offered 20mil for 1 season :monkey

[Trainwreck2100]

Exactly. He got what he wanted and the Mavs got what they wanted. All his extra talk just shows he's fucking butthurt about a business decision the Mavs made, when he's just as guilty.

I really doubt the mavs got what they wanted, they probably didn't want to look like rape victims their first two times out.

[MmP]

Although Im sick of Tyson being a FA star (it's Tyson Chandler we're talking people) the man has a point. When you give 1year deals it affects your players mentality on the court.

Mavs fans maddddd

But he didn't, so he's just as guilty as Cuban of sacrificing a title defense for the future.

It would have been possibly the stupidest financial move in NBA history if Chandler took a one year deal. His stock will never be higher and this is his one chance to cash in big. If Cubes matched the Knicks deal no one would have said a word against it. There's a difference.

I don't necessarily disagree with Cubans decision. Chandler had a fantastic year last year, and he looked great on Christmas, but he is still a big man with a injury history. Giving him a long contract is a gamble in itself. With Cuban making all these uncharacteristic financial moves (esp the DEN one), it seems he knows more about his chances with Dwight than he lets on. And if we land D12 all is forgiven, of course.

[Roddy Beaubois]

btw we do us mav fans officially start the overthetop Dwight to the Mavs shtick? The Lebron one was hilarious in summer 2010. Let me know, Ghaz.

[DPG21920]

I outlined why it's a risky strategy in-depth and how keeping Tyson, even with the same contract as he got from NY could have easily accomplished his same goals with less risk. Mono isn't making any sense and what Tyson did is nothing like what Cubes did except for the fact they were both basketball related items. One move was retarded and one was not.

Even if the Mavs land Dwight (which I agree will make Cubes look very smart), Tyson's move was still a good one.

[FkLA]

mavfags think they have a shot at dwight :lol

Never said anything that disagrees with it. I'm saying Chandler is upset the Mavericks didn't make him a better offer and he's lashing out. That's hypocritical because if he truly wanted to stay in Dallas and defend the title, he had an offer there to do it. He's an NBA player, it's not like he was going to have to apply for food stamps over how bad the Mavs offer was. He made a business decision, just like Mark Cuban made a business decision. End of story.

You're being a bitch. Cuban fucked it up. How many dumbass owners have successfully destroyed a championship team the following year in the history of the NBA? Only one, and you guys better land Howard or Dirk becomes a joke again and Cuban gets exposed for all of his shortcomings.

This is why your organization is a joke... your owner is a moron and it rubs off on the rest of the Maverick franchise. It's apparent when we see stupid ass nigs like you posting stupid ass shit, trash talking the player that was solely responsible for putting you over the top and giving you size and defensive presence in the paint. You owe Tyson every bit of support, because if it wasn't for him being on the team, there's no chance you contend last year.

If the Mavs are really going hard after Howard they might as well tank this season and get a good rookie to make the team even more tempting.

Tbh Dirk/Howard up front with Drummond off the bench for the last 3-4 years of Dirk's career then taking over at PF would be pretty tempting for Howard.

[MavFan6488]

cuban did the right thing. chandler is a injury-prone role player. i still can't believe the knicks paying him 58 million the next 4 years..

he was one of the most overrated free-agents in league history, knicks will find out soon enough..

[SpurCharger]

I find It Hilarious That Mav Fans Are Trying to Act like Its Ok, That They Let Probably The top 3 Defensive Big In The Game Walk, Because Cuban Didnt wanna Pay The One Guy Who Put Them Over The Hump..... I dont Blame Chandler for Leaving, We look At it As A Sport, But to them Its A Job/Career. I would Have taken the Long Term As Well..... Face It, Cuban Messed up.....
As A Spurs Fan I Can Admit when The Team Messes up, Like Letting Stephen Jackson Go. Letting Luis Scola Go, And Bringing In Dick Jefferson.....

I went first in the condemnation, and then was quickly followed by the rank & file when the twin slaughters took place.

Media wanted to ride the Mavs Bandwagon awhile longer. An example is the cacophony ensuing after Kupchak ran Odom off for a toaster. But, its hands off for Cuban and Chandler. Media will get around to it, but, on their schedule---not on the members of ST schedule.

After what Tyson - and the title he helped bring - meant for that team, I can see why he was pissed at a one year deal. Mavs should be looking to win it all at any cost but Cuban got the title and now he's not as feisty.

[JamStone]

Probably better off just shutting the fuck up, but it doesn't mean what he said doesn't hold some merit. What he said actually does make sense. Even if there's the other agenda behind it, i.e. creating the flexibility to go after D12 or D-Will next summer, I do think it suggests the Mavs are willing to give themselves less than the best shot to repeat. Whether they can land one of those top FAs next summer will ultimately decide how prudent and/or insightful that decision was. Can they really afford risking wasting a season at Dirk's age? We'll see.

Definitely - my opinon on the worth of guys like Dragic & Lin is that they are MLE players based on potential (21M for 4 years is the MLE now, so ~5M per year). Going to 30 is a little high, but I think decently fair for what he has shown.

When you start talking about 9M+ that is reserved on known guys or guys with really high upside (especially if they are younger). But with this market, 7.5M for Goran is pretty solid and is right in line with what the average player/starting PG is making.

When asked about what happened to his former team the last week, ‪#Knicks‬ center Tyson Chandler said, “I’m a little stunned.” More to come.

“I kind of felt like it was going to be [like] that, honestly.

"If they weren’t able to land Deron Williams or Dwight [Howard] I knew there would be trouble down the road.””

Does TChandler feel sorry for Mavericks? “I feel sorry for Dirk (@swish41). Really for Dirk and the coaching staff."

“You go from winning a championship to kind of [where] it seems like you’re almost in a rebuilding stage.

Chandler says he feels bad for the ‪#Mavericks‬, but "especially for Dirk at this point in his career I really feel bad for him.”
