The Official I hate Tyson Chandler thread

[Zaximus]

1. Overpaid.

2. Can't catch a pass

3. Gets hurt if someone just looks at him

[Panthers128]

he should have been looking for the pass, but in that situation, Raymond Felton has to realize who he's passing to. Boris Diaw and Tyson Chandler are always on another planet mentally, so you don't want the ball in either of those hands late in game, imo.

[God]

He's pretty solid when he is healthy. Good guy though.

Very good post, rep. Although I do agree Chandler is a dissapointment. Dont hate the guy, just wish he would stop fumbling passes in the paint.

[Zaximus]

I mean I don't hate hate, you guys know what I mean with this thread . There is nothing he can do to make his paycheck worth it.

I dont think there were any of us Bobcats fans that were real excited about the trade this offeseason. Chandler offers very little besides size. he has been a bust from day 1. But with that being said we are still gonna make the playoffs for the first time ever!! so its not all bad!

I consider him more of a wash than a bust. We took a chance on a salary we could dump when it became clear Emeka was not going to turn into the 20/10 or 20/20 a night guy we needed him to be. We traded one bad contract with a player that was solid but was never going to reach his potential for shorter bad contract with a more athletic player that is never going to reach his potential.

Pretty much this all the way. His suck wouldn't be so obvious if Nazr could get healthy.

But that was a bad decision by Raymond. He's gotta try to go up, even draw the foul, something. Even thinking about looking at Tyson for the bucket with the game on the line is borderline insanity.

[MadHatter]

I still have the Okafor for Chandler trade. Okafor was not a superstar, but he is definitely better than Tyson.

[Guild]

If Chandler could just use his brain I think we'd be alright.

[PantherBrew]

I'd still do the trade again.

Chandler may not be very good, but Okafor wasn't great either.

Plus we gave Okafor one of the dumbest contracts ever.

Rep to Okafor's agent.

Plus it ended up saving us a huge amount of money in future years, probably so we could resign Felton.

[Britneck]

He has seemed to have been playing better now that he is starting to get healthy but last night i cursed his name a lot.

I agree that the move made sense long term. Okafor was solid, but still better than Chandler.

We were willing to sacrifice short-term to have the flexibility long-term.
