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

I would put Lowry and Scola in that JYD category.

 

The rule only applies if you are over the cap. If you are under the cap and signing a player you do not go over the cap by more than 100,000 than there is no 25% rule. The cap is estimated to be 56.1 mil this year. Miami can not sign Lebron Wade and Bosh and keep Beasley and stay under the cap. So the 25% rule would apply. That is why they must trade Beasley to be able to give the Max salary to all three.

 

so we should be rooting for lebron to choose miami so they are forced to trade beasley and we get chandler?

i think lebron going there increases the chances of them needing a S&T and moving bees.

 

Not only that but it also gaurantees that he does not go to NY.

 

Morey... Make...It...Happen...

 

zackly....i dont care where he goes as long as it isnt NY

 

They need to send out a little more than 10 mil in salaries to make it work. That's within the 25% plus 100,000. Andersen and Taylor to Toronto plus Jeffries to Charlotte works. I am guessing Toronto is holding out for Budinger instead of Taylor or some picks and cash to take back contracts

That is why they are saying houston may not be part of the deal. It is a game of bluffing and wait and see now.

 

I'll take Lowry (not currently on the roster btw ) and I'm probably about to pick a fight with half the forum by saying this because I love Scola almost as much as the next guy, But don't see it in Scola, he won't back down but the only thing intimidating is his hair and face.

picture the supersubs in the 2nd quarter

Lowry
Taylor
Chase
Hill/PP
Tyson

Tell me that is not a RA fast break wet dream waiting to happen

 

Possible solution:

Send Andersen or whatever non asset piece to Toronto to complete the Chandler trade, then use the trade exception, in a seperate deal, to take back some scrub piece from Toronto so there is no added salary burden on the Raptors.

 

Without doubt Chandler is an upgrade over Jeffries.

However is it worth paying more luxury tax for Chandler?? He seems to have lost his game somewhere the last couple of years - sure he's still 6'11 and able to rebound, block shots and run - but for an extra $8-10million?

Knowing Morey he's playing the 'poor Houston' card and looking to bring back pick(s) with the deal.... (most likely from Charlotte - you want Beasley? Give me first round pick plis.)

 

well that goes without say.

but until today i didn't think it mattered where else he went. now i'd be happiest with the heat.

 

Chandler could play the same shot blocker role of the bench that dikembe did a couple years ago, yet tyson has a better finishing ability at the rim than the aging dike had.

 

True. As much as I loved Deke, he frustrated the hell out of me whenever he caught a pass near the rim and took ten seconds to gather himself (and got stripped) so he could try to dunk the ball.

 

davidnuno Trade talks involving rockets in 4 way deal with Tyson Chandler coming to Houston are dead right now.

 

no matter what the rockets are going to be a playoff team because we got yao back the jazz are no longer a threat because they lost carlos boozer my prediction is Houston Rockets 2011 world champions

 

Chandler is 7'1.

 

This is a great move if true. Chandler brings some much needed defense and athleticism to our 2nd unit.

We like to run when our bench is out there, and chandler can get up and down very well for a big man.

 

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

meh...If they (Toronto) were thinking Morey would just give away his assets for a rental they thought wrong.

Donnie Walsh knows about trying to bully Morey.

 

Damn, that was over before it started...
