Boston Celtics interested in Tyson Chandler
The Boston Celtics are interested in free agent Tyson Chandler. Well, of course they are.
The Celtics would love to be in the mix for Tyson Chandler, who gave Dallas a defensive and rebounding presence inside. Chandler earned $12.6 million in the final year of his contract and bringing him back will be more difficult than Barea.
“Right when [Chandler] got there, we kind of viewed him as our quote, unquote,Kevin Garnett,’’ Cuban said. “The guy that was going to be vocal, that was going to hold people accountable. I remember having conversations with him, it’s OK to yell. This team has enough camaraderie and trust that you can do those types of things. He kept on bringing it.’’
The problem with a dreamy proposition is making it reality. Chandler has already voiced his desire to return to Dallas, and he could very well command more money than the Celtics can offer him. While the prospect of a Chandler-Garnett defensive frontcourt elicits drool from the corner of my mouth, the likelihood we see the pairing in Boston next season seems slim to nil. Especially considering that Mark Cuban has an affinity for overpaying centers.

Why would he leave? Butler and Beaubois are coming back from injuries that ended their seasons so the Mavs are already stronger, own the title, and have Cuban’s deeeeeeeeep pockets. Never going to happen. Go Cs…

Boy, there’s no stopping the irony. It’s just gushing. Funny thing, we had a center just a couple of months ago. I wonder what happened?

Nick…why are you trying to stop all my fun??? If he stops then I can only disagree on one topic as President of the DA Fan Club Defenders (self appointed, sorry but I thought I’d save paul the trouble of annointing me). Go Cs…

James… You should know by now I enjoy our guy’s arguments. I really do. But whenever something is brought up like the end of the season or the C’s searching for a center(which will be all offseason, probabally lOnger with a lockout) we have to hear how DA fucked up the whole entire season because of one trade. I think we got decent enough SF(green) in the trade. We got rid of KP, who in my opinion, wouldn’t have made it through the offseason anyways. And we got rid of a immature piss machine. It will prove to be a good trade and if we resign Green and he has a good season. Paul damn well better acknowledge the fact he was wrong.
Sorry if my last two comments were a little overboard, but I believe Paul is crossing a line where enough is enough.
James, I would like to join your club. As I just, and always have, defended Mr. Danny Ainge.

Nick…welcome to the club; you’re voted in unanimously! paul will come around but it’s just going to take time and significant improvement by Green. And maybe even winning another title? I just think we’re all very frustrated especially how our last 3 title runs have ended. It just flat out sucks that injuries have likely cost us 3 more titles as in each of the last 3 years we had the BEST team but just couldn’t fight through losing key players (KG then Perk and then Rondo) needed in order to win those titles. I just wish paul would use some facts to back up his statements instead of just trying to whip me into submission; which we all know ain’t ever going to happen! Go Cs…

I agree that it is very unlikely that they will get chandler but I do feel like he would be an hour excellent addition to the team if they could find a way to get him. Many many alley oops.

its not very unlikely. alot of mavs payer are going to be demanding alot of money. so how much is the 20,000 dollar tipping ownr really going to be able to offer. chandler has voiced many times that kg is his idol. sometimes that matters. celtics im sure have alot of money for a centerim sure, and kg piere and allen are at the stge in theyre careers were ins are more imortant than money so theres some to go around
