    Tyson Chandler, Knicks Agree On Contract: Free Agent Center Coming To New York
    Amidst all the clamor on Thursday about NBA deals that weren't completed, there was relatively scant attention paid to one that is apparently done: The Knicks have reportedly agreed on a deal that will bring free agent center Tyson Chandler to Madison Square Garden.

    A key presence in the paint for the world champion Dallas Mavericks last season, Chandler has reportedly agreed to a 4-year deal worth $58 million with the Knicks. Initially, it was unclear if the Knicks were going to orchestrate a sign-and-trade deal with the Mavs, a more complex three-team deal, or if New York would use the amnesty rule to clear the contract of Chauncey Billups off the books in order to sign the 29-year-old directly.

    On Friday, Chandler appeared on the "Ben and Skin Show" on ESPN 103.3 in Dallas and confirmed his intention to sign with the Knicks. Asked about his new deal, Chandler responded:

    "It was with the Knicks. But, you know, nothing is absolutely certain until you put ink to paper," said Chandler, who indicated the deal came together quickly. "So, I'm just working on that part."

    Chandler also revealed that, as far as he knew, the deal would not be a sign and trade with the Mavericks. Asked why he chose the Knicks, Chandler spoke about the potential for success in the Big Apple.

    "I just think the future of the team, you know, being able to play alongside Amare Stoudemire, Carmelo Anthony and the young talent that they already have, I feel like puts us in contention over the next four or five years," Chandler said on the radio.

    Prior to the Knicks' swoop for Chandler, the Golden State Warriors were considered the most likely landing spot. Once reports of the Chandler-to-Knicks deal spread, the question turned to whether the Knicks would ship either Amar'e Stoudemire or Carmelo Anthony to New Orleans in a deal that would yield Chris Paul. Those rumors seemed quashed by the widely-reported deal sending Paul to the Lakers. However, with the NBA controversially vetoing that swap, the Knicks could again look to pair Chandler with his former running mate... for #basketballreasons.

    Story developing...
    Hey mono, a penny for your thoughts?

    & wanted(s) to hand the money to Howard. Chandler is a cerebral en y who understands the game's intricacies both in-game and in-locker room. Cuban had it all and just let drift away. Maybe he'll make us an offer for Howard after the season. Howard will get max money and we'll get out from under him.

    Let's play a retroactive game. Guess who posted this ty take:

    Tyson is truly a punk 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 bag. Get paid but don't be an ass.....get out of Dallas dummy...you ain't as good as you think

    This dude posted the goods though:

    That's just it:::Chandler never said a in' 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 ing money

    More Goods:

    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 le. 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 le. Other FA's will take note of that.
