    Some of you guys take tiny tweets with ZERO sources pretty seriously. Getting Chandler off their cap would be a huge boon to the Suns, so in my mind they'd have to give up an additional asset to make that happen.

    ok sure he may be a little over his ultimate prime, but everyone keeps saying "maybe a few years ago" etc but remember, we're into year 5 with Meyers and he literally has regressed since his one passable season where we found him valuable enough to drop 40m on him. now look where we are..... if we let him stay the next 4yrs, he'll be a 9yr team member and god only fucking knows how bad he'll be by then. im assuming he'll be a shoot first point guard avging 4pts 0.3 assists and .13% from 3 - iconically i could see his blocks and boards going up.

    honestly though, it's all about what the team needs. we NEED a large body in the paint that can force the other teams to think twice about their plays, someone who understands D, and i think, more than ever, a veteran voice in the locker room to help sort this front court out and maybe even teach them about the benefit of pick n roll.....

    outside of plums and harky, there has been next to nothing to celebrate in the big guys. we need to switch something up.

    So calling a person garbage is okay but calling them an animal isn't?

    (and yes, I fucking with you.)

    Mark my words. Meyes will be traded. Eventually. But while being focused on Meyers lack of production, Tyson's lack of production is being overlooked. Tyson, while being a large body in the paint, isn't forcing teams to do anything. You don't make a trade for the sake of trading. IMHO guys this is all smokescreen.

    I'd give up Ezeli and Vonleh for Chandler if they sent back Miami's Top 7 Protected 2018 pick (which is unprotected in 2019)

    That would be a sweet deal, especially if we could swing three firsts for an absolute stud.

    That pick would have a lot of value. I think we need to take on salary by giving up expirings to get another pick to trade for a stud.

    Wouldn't Chandler be the salary? That contract is terrible just due to how much it is for how long at his age.

    Am guessing they wouldn't be that desperate to dump chandler, but I do like the thought process of it.

    Lol, I think it was doesn't mind going into the tax. This would dive really fucking deep into that tax and tyhus severely crimp the team a few years from now. DMC is gonna get a max. NO way , CJ's/Dame's /Crabbe/ and Chandlers payroll will work.
    I love it dont get me wrong, but man that will undoubtely put us way way over.
