Tyson Chandler expecting to leave Dallas

[Monostradamus]

Also, one INCREDIBLY HUGE factor I didn't even mention: Dwight could very well be traded this season. It could be via Extend and Trade (not all that likely IMO), and even if it's just a straight trade, if it's to a team he likes you have to worry about them being able to extend him for more money than the Mavs can offer.

So I was only explaining how difficult it would be just by looking at the Mavs roster/financial situation and there is an entire whole other side to the risk of waiting as I pointed out above.

So to clarify: Don't sign Tyson this season, don't compete for a le, have a slim chance at signing Dwight on the chance he actually makes it to free agency.

I'm convinced, especially considering just how right you were about dem Mavs last season.

everybody else says they'd have the money to do it, but no, I'll take your word for it. You're the guy who gets paid money to know these things.

I didn't say they wouldn't have the money. In fact, I said the opposite. What I said is that in order to have the money to get Dwight (meaning offering him max dollars), Mavs would only have Dirk/Dwight/Marion/Roddy B/Jones/Brewer and at best have about 7M to fill the rest of the roster.

So Dwight would first actually have to make it to FA, Mavs would have to take the steps to free up the 20M to pay Dwight, he would have to want to go to the Mavs with that roster & they would have minimal dollars to fill out their team.

Guy, on this board, no one has been more wrong about the Mavs than you

Wrong about them last year

trade Dirk

[mavsfan1000]

or any of them. off, Bulls fan.

you hole.

nothing in that post said you expected Chandler to stay healthy all season and lead the Mavs to a le.

You moved the goalposts. I expected him to perform well, else Dirk would not have single coverage. Why would I mention him otherwise?

show me one post before the season started that proves this.

I was saying that in December, one month into the season. Do you think I was cherry picking? Did Chandler bust out so much by December as to cause a 180 degree shift? Funny no one else was cherry picking Chandler. In fact, many Mavs fans here abandoned the team not long after the turn of the year.


No, Tyson Chandler's performance did not surprise me. The Laker's performance surprised me. I thought they would give Dallas more of a run.

I'm wrong for the right reasons.

You're wrong for the wrong reasons.

That's the difference.

[DPG21920]

Well after me explaining that scenario, do you think that is what they should do? Try to lure a top FA to walk into Dirk/Marion/RoddyB/Jones/Brewer and at best 7M to add to the 6 man roster?

Absolutely. The NBA is a superstar's league and the Miami Heat proved you can get within 2 games of a le with 2 superstars, one good player, and else.

If Howard comes to Dallas they'd have 2 superstars and 3-4 okay players, which is comparable.

Then there is this gem

If GNSF said something this dumb you would never let it die. "But but but we can't see the future and you don't know how awesome Corey Brewer and Jones could turn out to be!"

ing no I didn't. I've stated in my posts here that nobody exected him to perform AND stay healthy. After his history, how could you possibly say you expected him to stay healthy? Again, you're a ing liar if you say you did.

Yes sir.

You don't have to like it.

[DPG21920]

Well, I really hope the Mavs don't resign Tyson. I can't see them doing that, at least without signing someone they might like better (Nene?). I'll take a Mavs team that is weakened with a slim chance at landing some FA the year after all day.

I see, some pigs are more equal than others.

Then you went on to move the goalposts from "perform and stay healthy" to "lead the team to a championship".

who's moving the goalposts?

again, your next good take on this site will be your first.

lol Tyson Chicken Chandler ing for more money in a big deal likely to compensate for some stupid financial decisions he has been making throughout his career. If I were him I'd STFU and accept what the Mavs have to offer. He's been making nice money the past few years, been in the league for a decade, now is the time to not care so much about the max $ you can milk out of a team and more about championships. I think the Mavs have a good shot at another ring if they keep their players. You never know what can happen in the playoffs. Everyone is expecting the Heat to ring this year, but what if one of the big 3 gets injured? Dirk bringing it in the playoffs is pretty much a guarantee. I say they have a good shot. Everyone knows Kobe + Tim are tired ass bags of right now, so they could breeze through the west.

[rayjayjohnson]

Sup mono?

Been too long homie. Still in the rap game?

[redzero]

This is "typical role player letting a championship get into his head" behavior. Chandler was essential to the Mavs last season, and he surprised almost everybody by managing to stay healthy. However, he still isn't worth what he wants, especially now more than ever. If he really means what he said, then I'd let him go.

[adrienne]

Seriously bummed about this. I'm about to offer him half my paycheck (you know, to use as toilet paper or something since it's microscopic compared to his) and unlimited baked goods. Maybe free babysitting.
