No way, Cousins is way too talented to give up on this soon and Tyson adds nothing to a terrible team like Sacramento.

The most logical destination for a Tyson trade would be to a good team looking to upgrade center to put them over the top. Also, any Tyson trade needs to have a center coming back to us. Around the trade deadline I thought LAC, GS, and OKC were the best fits in terms of fit and need but I don't think that's the case anymore; GS is not trading Bogut after the postseason he just had and I want nothing to do with Perkins so both those teams are out. Looking around the league today I think the most likely trade partners are LAC, for DeAndre and Bledsoe, or Denver for a package involving Javale McGee.

My big hope this offseason is that we can upgrade our shaky, inconsistent backcourt. We should be willing to take a slight downgrade at center for an upgrade at guard. And I believe Tyson still has plenty of value around the league; he was voted into the AllStar game by the coaches and then All-Defensive 1st team by those same coaches.

This. LAC or Portland.

Even consider PHX.

I think the Clippers are the best chance. Chris Paul loved playing with Chandler and if it keeps him in LA for sure then its worth it to them. I would try to send Chandler and Kidd for Deandre Jordan and Bledsoe. Jordans contract is the same as Chandlers, they probably wouldnt be able to resign Bledsoe,They get the best player in the deal

Do you honestly think DeAndre Jordan is a better player than Tyson? DeAndre Jordan is immature and worse at everything bar shot blocking. He shoots 38% from the FT line. He averages 7.2 rebounds and 8.8 points. He is like Tyson suffering from perpetual flu but with a worse attitude.

You do it to get Bledsoe too.

Yeah you do it for Bledsoe. Jordan is simply a stopgap replacement for chandler. But Bledsoe has a ton of upside in a league that doesn't have a lot of available good PGs. He could be an allstar someday.

This deal works for Knicks they get younger and make JR Smith expendable with addition of Lamb. Perkins pretty much give same results as Chandler and Thabeet a project that may pay dividends later on. OKC does this deal because they feel Chandler may push them over the top once Westbrook comesback.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! breathe

Clippers are going to lose Bledsoe in a year anyway if Paul resigns.I still think they wouldnt do it. We would have to sweeten it some more. Im not parting with Shumpert. Maybe send them the player we pick from this draft

We can sweeten more that is just the main pieces. Add cash or a draft pick or Felton while bringing back Hill to match salaries.

IF

we use our 2nd year non guaranteed contracts to absorb Caron Butler's one year expiring deal
And I think they will still need us to include either Iman Shumpert or a draft pick *likely 1st rounder*

no thanks on that,

jordan has bad hands and will not improve any more

I don't think it will be worth it either, I am just saying that I cannot see Clippers trading for Chandler and losing Bledsoe

I would much rather try to trade Chandler to a team like Portland for a trade exemption and a bunch of 2nd round picks
In fact I would do a deal after, even trade him with Melo and JR, for their 1st round picks, future picks 1st and 2nd round picks, and players as throw ins to add up salary like Wesley Mathews and Hickson to a 7m deal per year at a sign and trade

Collect as many assets as we can and cap friendly deals, while waiting for 2015 FA pool, as we develop high/risk reward 2nd rounders, with solid drafts in these next 2 years

Essentially Portland's lineup would look like

Lilliard
Battum
Melo
Aldridge
Chandler

JR Smith
Their rookie Center
3m MLE
vet min players to fill out roster

That would make sense only if we were doing a complete rebuild, including trading Melo. Otherwise, there's no point in a major downgrade in the roster until 2015. Hibbert put up about 15 PPG. Take Chandler off the team and get some 2nd round picks, and Hibbert will dominate us much worse.

Thing is we are risking losing Melo for nothing with his ability to opt out after next season and sign with another team, as the entire league with the East continues to all getting better/healthy next season

Portland has the cap room to absorb these contracts and the talent to even beat out OKC in such a deal, and they have a bunch of picks we can use to restock/develop till 2015 class to get our "big name" players so it is a short 2 year rebuild plan that could theoritically work

I think trading our starting C for a bunch of 2nd round picks dramatically increases the odds that Melo will opt out and leave.

Do you really think Chandler's production is worth more than a salary exemption and a bunch of young talents?
