If he suddenly starts aying better for LA I'll be pissed.
Almost seems inevitable. They claim that they needed someone. Idk how he can improve him, as the Suns were markedly worse when he was on the floor as opposed to when the rookie with defensive weaknesses was out there.

If he does start playing better, it also might say as much about the professionalism of the Suns as anything else.

True & sad, unfortunately.

He's been reduced to a slow, plodding center. I'm not concerned about Tyson Chandler.

Yeah, I don't care either. All I know was he wasn't making us better.

I'm totally fine with Chandler no longer being on the team. It should be noted that we don't really have an avenue to trade for high-level veteran players anymore without giving up TJ.

Melton does a lot of things well. Needs to get a lot better as a shooter/shotmaker though.

George King is interesting. It feels like his role is a small-ball 4. I wonder if he could carve out a role as a PJ Tucker type.

I'd actually be surprised if he didn't. And I can already hear how he is asked about how he suddenly looks more energized and goes to diss PHX for the tanking.

Good point. I hope they don't make a panic move and waste TJ.

This may surprise some people, but Chandler was actually averaging a career high 15.8 rebounds per 36 minutes this season.

If Chandler is out I suspect we trade for a midtier PG and give back a future first round pick. God, bless us with a good 3 pt shooting PG please.

He's also averaging 8.5 fouls per 36 minutes. Oof ...
Well, so much for hopes and dreams ...

Maybe if he gets new contact lenses, he’ll play better.

I highly recommend Lasik.

Probably not a good idea during the season.

The recovery time is actually quite quick. Maybe during the all-star break would work.
