Tyson Chandler expecting to leave Dallas

[stretch]

If Dallas has any chance of landing one of those big FAs next summer, it's clear one thing has to happen. One of the Mavs young players has to become a star this upcoming season. Whether it's Beabois or Rudy Fernandez or Dominique Jones, one of them has to play the part of an up-and-coming legitimate star. Dirk's 33 years old. It's similar to why CP3 has expressed he wouldn't want to sign longterm with the Celtics. Dirk at his age isn't enough to get one of those FAs to sign on for 5 years knowing the Mavs' window is closing too.

This.

By letting Butler and Barea walk, it will allow this to potentially happen.

Personally, I am a fan of the idea of the Mavs going after Nene. He has more upside than Chandler IMO.

Offensively....but you already have enough of that

I think he was referring to letting Tyson walk and not going after anyone this year to save as much cap space w/o having to trade someone as possible to go after Dwight or someone next year as mono suggests.

You talking about what I said, or what JamStone said?

I'm not suggesting that at all. However I know that is what JamStone said. My point is, there is a good chance that Butler doesnt come back, which will open up more minutes for Fernandez, Brewer and Jones. And if Barea doesnt come back (which IMO the Mavs should not get him unless they can also get Tyson), then it allows Roddy to develop too. So whether they get someone like Tyson or Nene, or not, chances are is that they will need to get some more minutes out of guys like Fernandez, Jones and Brewer.
