Read somewhere we can do a s&t for chandler and wright. So we might still be able to offer Aldridge the max. Then S&T for Chandler. Can we go over the cap on a s&t?

That would help, we'd still have to clear a lot of space. We've only got like 5 million in cap space with Wright's cap hold.

I think the Bledsoe to Portland thing is a stretch. He and Lillard wouldn't really mesh in the backcourt IMO. But I would like to see just Knight at PG, bring along Booker as the shooter, then go with Warren/Tucker and Aldridge and Chandler.

Olshey also drafted DeAndre, so he could go after him just the same, or re-sign Lopez and plug a guy like Monroe in there and not miss a beat.

While this whole LMA talk is going on, this went down. https://twitter.com/SpearsNBAYahoo/status/616324568630759424

Ooh. Good point.

Stay out of our fantasy, Mori!

Love the pick up. Smart, tough, proven winner. 3 things that nobody that is on our team currently provides. He can play next to Len if we don't get LMA as long as Alex continues to develop a J

Who gives about Brandan Wright. Chandler is a HUGE upgrade. At the rate the contracts are going, it's pretty consistent money.

This isn't 2011 anymore, though. He is much older and on the down side of his career. I don't see him playing like he did at 30 when he is 36.

Lots of players do. Also there is the Suns training staff. They seem to work miracles.

I guess if you try to build a case of why us over SA, it's that Duncan is probabaly going to retire in a yr or 2 and the Spurs don't have much at center to help out LA after. The suns can say they have help now (chandler) and help once Chandler is gone (Len).

Furthur more if I'm Ryan, I'm trying to sell him on the idea that The suns have a much much younger core of players and have never won a championship. Yes that's right I'd try to use that to our advantage. Saying if you win 1 here it would mean a lot more.

Obviously I'm reaching here.....but That's how I would go about it.

Probably not but he was 11 & 10 last year with decent paint defense. I like the fact he's on the team much more than I do the money he makes.

Younger core
Roster built to highlight his game
Best training staff in the league which is so important for a player in their 30's
Earl Watson
Tyson Chandler, perfect front court mate with Len as a backup
Will be a hero in Phoenix just for signing
Will get credit for the turn around
Will be the only max player on the roster, therefore the leader

Not only will Duncan be out, so will Pop. Who are the Spurs w/o Duncan and Pop?

Chandler's not a stats guy where his numbers jump out at you like a DeAndre. But he's an top notch team and individual defender and is really a great lockerroom guy/pro who will keep guys in check and hold them accountable. Basically another coach in the floor.
