[Marc Stein] Possible multiple team deal bringing Tyson Chandler to Houston

I'll take chandler, short contract, good enough for a back center/PF, someone who can run the floor, should work well w/ this group.

 

they can have Anderson and Mike Harris.

 

hehe..Keep dreaming Toronto Fans.

 

Hmm, you sound like my wife...

 

True, a pick could be involved. This trade seems just too good to be true otherwise.

Guys, considering that Jeffries/Andersen would never get on the court next year on a hypothetical team with Yao, Chandler, Scola, Hill, Hayes and Patterson, you need to look at this as the salary cap/financial equivalent of:

(a) signing Tyson Chandler as a free agent to a one-year, $3.2M contract

AND

(b) having him also be a $12.6M expiring contract for February trade deadline purposes

AND

(c) also having his Bird rights to either re-sign him or to possibly even sign-and-trade him elsewhere in exchange for other players, picks and/or a large trade exception.

 

Who cares about a 45 win team in the East...

 

If its plan B, its one hell of a plan. If you would have told me before the summer that the rockets have a chance to trade Jared Jeffries for Tyson Chandler straight up. I wouldn't have believed it.

 

You let your wife talk to you that way?

Dayum

 

It does seem too good to be true. Its a win win across the board.

 

There's our back-up center. He's Mutombo lite emphasis on the lite. At least we won't be giving up any height when he's in there. He can run the floor and finish with authority. Not bad for the price of one Jared Jeffries.

 

Morey's been trying to counter the Lakers height for quite some time now. He tried with Gortat, Bosh, Miller, and now he's after Chandler. He's already added fire power in the back court with Martin and Ariza, now he's looking to do the same to the front court. Props to him. I like this deal.

 

says the guy who won't watch them because they traded for artest two years ago.

 

AB and Chandler could hook up on alley-oops all the time like CP3 did with him. He would also provide that Mutombo-type presence that we need in the paint.

Git er done Morey!!!

 

I think Chandler in street clothes can cheerlead as well as Jefferies in a uni so even if he does get hurt it's no big loss.

 

Not worth it if Chase, Patterson, or Hill.

They almost certainly do not want Jeffries. They probably do not want Battier, either.

I'm fine with Andersen, Hayes, and/or Alex Johnson going.

 

Bima you just rock dawg. Now, when Andre 3000 says...."Do you know what's cooler than being cool?" I know the answer.

 

a second rounder is ok. The clippers swap for 2011 would be fine to trade but for a rental? I guess it would only be fair.

 

Love this trade. When the trade deadline approaches and NO is ready to trade CP3 because the owner hasn't sold the team and he needs to dump some salary. Then Denver is ready to trade Melo because they will be scared that he will leave them with nothing. The Rockets jump in and make a 3 way deal.

Rockets receive:
Carmelo Anthony
Chris Paul

Nuggets receive:
AB
Ariza
J. Hill
M. Peterson

Hornets receive:
Battier
Chandler
2012 Rockets 1st rd pick

Rockets lineup
Yao/Miller
Scola/Patterson/Hayes
Melo/Bud
Martin/Taylor
Paul/Lowry

Hey I can dream

 

We'd have to include Jeffries to match the salaries.
