Why? Is Melo sitting on him?

We got Tyson Chandler who had just won a ring with the Dallas Mavericks. He then wins defensive player of the year 2012; then this past year, 2012-13 he makes 1st team all defense and the All-Star team. And we won 54 games. And you all aren't satisfied???

We should keep Chandler. No trades. He played hurt at the end of the year. Other Knicks also played like crap in the playoffs. Get over it and move on.

I think it's fair to expect Tyson to develop an all around game. The impact he has on the defensive end on our team is irrefutable....but right now we need him to develop an offensive skill set to at least counter somewhat the production by the opposing team was at his position. Maybe if he had a few reliable post moves such that he is an actual threat to score maybe we'd get a few more open looks for our perimeter guys. To have any hope of making it to the ECF we need our center to be able to make a few plays in the paint....especially when we go cold like we did in th last playoff series. And it's fair to question why our starting center isn't working on improving his weaknesses. He and Bargnani should be out there with Melo and Amare. Now if you could fuse Amare and Tyson's skill sets...that would be ideal but we can't and Tyson is the only one who has been able to stay relatively healthy so it's up to him to take the initiative.

Bottom line is that he has a $55million dollar contract. He played well in the regular season but twice now in th playoffs he wasnt able to stay healthy and when he was healthy he was unable to make an impact. Tyson's getting the third highest paycheck on our roster and its because of the credentials he has earned that we expect more of him. Melo doesn't ever get a pass, why should Tyson. Also, he needs to voice his concerns to the locker room, not the media. I don't ever want to put up with poisonous media circus we faced in the Larry Brown days....the media make up enough drama as it is.
