Chandler Not Satisfied With Offer?

<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Chicago Tribune - The Bulls have offered Tyson Chandler a guaranteed contract in the neighborhood of Samuel Dalembert's six-year, $64 million deal with Philadelphia, which isn't a stunning development given the similarities between the two big men.

In Chandler's case, however, it doesn't seem to be enough.

A source familiar with the negotiations confirmed the offer, and it is believed the Bulls are offering incentives that could make the deal more lucrative for their 7-foot-1-inch restricted free agent.

Just how much guaranteed money Chandler wants is unclear. His agent, Jeff Schwartz, did not respond to a message left Monday afternoon.

An agreement doesn't appear imminent, but Bulls general manager John Paxson said he isn't discouraged, perhaps because he and Schwartz have a strong rapport.

"We feel we're treating Tyson fairly in this," Paxson said. "Both Jeff and I feel we've made good arguments for our sides and have brought up concerns for both of us. Both sides are operating in good faith."</div>

Unbelievable. He shouldn't even be getting 60 Million dollars, let alone rejecting it. I hope the Bulls don't budge and give into his demands. If this is true.

 

i agree hes on a playoff team with potential. his game is not worth 60 mil.

And if his contract becomes more lucrative than dalemberts if he gets better, why would he hold out if he plans on becoming a better player.

i guess players dont look at the big picture now adays.

Go Bulls!

 

tyson is being greedy. he may be worth that much money later but not now. He should feel lucky hes getting that much. But give him what he wants, we need him.

 

Its the NBA home of overpaid athletes.

 

iIthink what paxson is offering him is completely fair, actually its not fair for the bulls. i think Chandler wants too much, he ain't worth it yet. Thats why i think its completely fair that Paxson wants to have incentives in place. You should earn your salary.

Na, that would be New York, lol.

I think Tyson isn't being fair to the organization right now. They're trying to satisfy both him and Curry, and for the good of the team, he shouldn't be holding out for too much. Also, $60 million is way more than he is worth right now. He may be worth that in the future, but right now, he's really lucky to be offered that much money.

 

Very witty move by Chandler, but greedy and selfish nonetheless. He probably knows that the Bulls can't afford another player of his caliber at this time. But at the same time, he should at least show the organization some respect for even thinking of offering that kind of money.

With all these over paid players, in a couple of years, superstars will be paid 20+ mil, all-stars will be paid 15+ mil, role players will be paid 10+ mil, and the MLE will probably be around 7 or 8 mil.

 

I think he's doin the team wrong, right now hes not worth that much money. And to be turning that down is just stupid. He should be happy that we're offering him that much. He should take it and run with it, at least it'll give him reason to work harder and prolly be more consistent if he knows his paycheck counts on it.

 

Neither of them deserve 60 million. At most, I'd say they both deserve 50 million, closer to 45 million. In comparison to the rest of the league, they probably do deserve what he's asking for, but that just shows you how ridiculously selfish these players are. But i'd have to admit, if I was in their position, I'd probably do the same
