I love our roster but depending on what we'd have to trade I'd be okay with this. The chemistry is strong enough to withstand a change or two if the only outgoing guys aren't playing a ton anyways.

If healthy, a bench of Kaman, Freeland, Chandler and Blake, with Wright/Leonard in spots, would look pretty good in the playoffs.
 
For those not familiar with Chandlers game



He's under rated as a three point threat imo.

Meh, he's average. 34% average on his career with one one year >35%.

Streaky at best.
 
Man, I just don't get the Chandler love.

I definitely don't get the Chandler love if there is a first going out.

We got Lopez and Robinson for some seconds, which is why I'm not a fan of "tossing in" a first for Chandler.

Better than 26%. And that's a solid shooter. Pippen and Drexler were career 32% 3pt shooters. And he's not limited to 3pt shooting like CJ, Wright and Crabbe are.
 
Wilson Chandler coming off the bench? Are you kidding?

A late first round pick next year, is not going to get this team through the playoffs this year. The bench, as it stands, is not likely to get them through the playoffs.

Small ball with Chandler over Wright? Yes please.

I just really don't think we need any more youth right now. We're already trying to develop so many young guys. We need another vet off the bench. Maybe Chandler isn't perfect, but he's available. It doesn't seem like Phoenix wants to give up Gerald Green, and now Jeff Green is off the board. Who else is out there?

Luol Deng? Maybe?

He is a good locker room guy I bet.

Not that I disagree but I'm beginning to wonder what the actual deadline is going to look like. Will all the major moves be long gone due to the domino and reaction effect from other teams?

If our first is this summer's, then it's okay. It's a high pick, and this draft is said to be week.

I'm down
 
When does Wilson's contract expire? Sites say that next season is the final year, and is a team option. But he signed a 5 year extention in march 2012. So that would make this season the 3rd year. 12-13,13-14,14-15
 
Also about Chalder's 3 point shooting... That's not what we want. He can get to the line and slash to the basket. He isn't afraid of contact either.

Also, the new scenery could change his motivation and being surrounded by a winning system could help.

Chalder isn't a cancer, so I don't think he fucks up chemistry either

I think the team option is what's confusing you. I think Olshey is realizing that grabbing a good bench player and having a MLE this summer maybe all we need to keep our winning culture.

I am in full support of the Chandler move

A 3 point shooting team doesn't want a player who can shoot the three? :confused:

We already have enough 3 point shooters. I think we are missing the slashing wing. Chandler is that type of guy

I think we need a consistent scorer off the bench and it doesn't matter how they get it done. Chandler is a good inside threat, but his 3 point shooting is under rated. I have no qualms about him coming in and hoisting up threes off the bench.
 
I seem to recall he had his own shoe sponsorship to Pony Shoes when he was in New York, are they still a thing?

Yeah me neither. He's good enough for you to respect his range, so that's only going to benefit his slashing game

I would say there's a very good chance of that.
 
I approve of Wilson Chandler becoming a Blazer depending on whom we give up.

If that's not what you want you may not want Chandler. He can slash to the basket but he's only averaging 1.8 free throws a game, and shoots 5.7 threes a game.

I think he'd fit right in.

Damn!!! Every game I've seen, He went ham. Serves me right for assuming with just my eye test
 
The NBA is as wide open as I can remember, so I support getting additional bench help at the right price. If it's two end of the bench players (No Crabbe, McCollum, or Leonard though) plus a first ... so be it. Everyone realizes our pick right now would be No. 29 right? We barely have time for Leonard, McCollum, and Crabbe - three of our most recent picks.

Crabbe doubtful for next game and Chandler is out tonight...both with knee strains. Coincidence?

Assuming there is a trade with Crabbe & Chandler, the only single player that can be included to make a trade legal is T-Rob.

I trust this GM. He isn't going to make a move that is going to thrwart the chemistry. For one, he is showing he knows what it means and the value of having it. I think he sit's on his hands before bringing in a player just because a guy can play and put up numbers. I also think he won't make a move that hinders any flexibility for future years.

I think this team stands pat and the chemistry wins over in the end over these other teams aggressively trying to make moves to improve.
 
Fodder and a first-rounder? Do it. Free up a roster spot in the process.

Blake
McCollum (eh...)
Chandler
Leonard
Freeland/Oneal
