Per Woj

Did not expect this lne

What the heck? What happened to developing Len?

 

[slinslin]

The Suns are bringing Tyson Chandler into the meeting with LaMarcus Aldridge as part of their pitch, league sources tell Yahoo Sports.

fyi

 

[slinslin]

What the heck? What happened to developing Len?

Gosh another center was HUGE need for the Suns. Len can't even play 30mpg while staying healthy.

Chandler is a great veteran signing for this team.

Tyson Chandler and Amare Stoudemire I'd be down for that.

 

[Rab]

Now this is good stuff.

 

[JCSunsfan]

AND Chandler is in the room right now recruiting Alderidge.

Brilliant, McD. Brilliant.

What do you think of that BC? Is Chandler your type of C?

 

[95pro]

Yes!!!

 

[slinslin]

Imagine we get Chandler, convince Aldridge and tack on Amare.

Clear the Morris twins to make the space for Aldridge and Chandler.

Len/Chandler
Aldridge/Amare/Leuer
Tucker/Warren/Granger
Knight/Booker
Bledsoe/Goodwin/3rd string PG

interesting. a great mentor/big man for Len to learn from. BC will be over the moon with this signing. wonder how much scratch he's getting. I look forward to seeing our trainers work their magic on him getting him in shape.

 

[Cheesebeef]

how the hell can we sign Chandler AND Aldridge with our cap situation?!

 

[leclerc]

Nice. Chandler will definitely help. There's still enough minutes for Len... if we don't go small all the time.

LOL I crack myself up.

 

[sunsfan88]

I like it if its relatively cheap and on a short term deal. Hornacek can't cry about not having an outspoken veteran in the locker room anymore.

 

[Cheesebeef]

if they were somehow able to pull off Chandler/Aldridge, I would be IMMENSELY impressed with the FO and believe they had turned the corner... but how in the world can they possible accomplish that with cap restraints?

 

[slinslin]

how the hell can we sign Chandler AND Aldridge with our cap situation?!

Renounce Wright and probably trade the Morri.

 

[slinslin]

Now I want to read that Amare is part of the recuitment too.

Aren't Chandler and Amare close? Been together in NY and Dallas.

Wowza. I hope that 4th year is a team option...Chandler is 33 years old and has major injury problems throughout his career.

 

[Folster]

I'm sure Babby has the cap numbers locked down with everything budgeted to the penndy

 

[Rab]

Back in the day those two hated each other, but seemed to get over that in their time playing together.

I would like to have Amar'e back.

 

[95pro]

I think Tucker would compliment Amare. Tucker can guard some pf's and rebound, while Amare would help on offense.

 

[slinslin]

ESPN sources say Tyson Chandler has agreed to a four-year deal with the Phoenix suns worth $52 million

Wow!

We would have to clear some substantial money to sign Aldridge to the max after that.

Probably Marcus, Markieff and Tucker.

 

[JS22]

Awesome. Exactly what the Suns needed. A vet to show guys like Len and the Wonder Twins the ropes. Plus Chandler is actually pretty good so there's that.

Contract is, uh, interesting. But look at what everyone else is handing out this offseason.

Suns med staff recruiting again.

That's a pretty decent contract for him given what the others are getting. We needed a vet like that. Wherever Tyson goes, teams get better. When he leaves they are worse.

that's a lot of scratch. glad the 4th year is a team option. hope our trainers can get him back in tip-top condition.

In two years that cap hit won't mean much.

 

[sunsfan88]

Imagine if the Suns traded for Chandler back in the day when he was with the Hornets? I remember we were close to doing it once but the deal fell off at the end.
