Wilson Chandler dumps agent; contrary to report, Knicks haven't dealt Anthony Randolph

BY Frank Isola

SAN ANTONIO - Wilson Chandler is in the market for a new agent.

The News has learned that Chandler has left Chris Luchey and is in the process of looking for new representation. Chandler confirmed that he plans to hire an agent in another two weeks.

It's an interesting development because Chandler is a restricted free agent this summer and team president Donnie Walsh has said he wants to sign Chandler to an extension.

However, the Knicks passed on an opportunity to extend Chandler's contract last October, citing the uncertainty regarding the new collective bargaining agreement.

Chandler, according to sources, is considering Dan Fegan, Arn Tellem, Leon Rose, Andy Miller and Happy Walters, who represents Amar'e Stoudemire.

Chandler was the 23rd overall pick of the 2007 Draft and is enjoying his best year in the NBA. His name has also surfaced in several trade scenarios involving Carmelo Anthony.

Because Chandler is a restricted free agent, the Knicks have the option of matching any offer Chandler receives from another team. As recently as two weeks ago, Luchey said he was hopeful Chandler would get a contract extension comparable to the deals Indiana's Danny Granger and Chicago's Luol Deng signed which is in the $65 to $75 million range.

I wouldn't give him that kind of money, no way in hell..Looking at lou deng then (before he got that contract), i would say good deal, looking at him now, i would say grossly overpaid.

The last few games Wilson has played, doesn't help him much

Yeah thats too too much. One thing that is important to remember is that because of SSOL, everybody's stats are a little inflated. That means points, rebounds, assists and turnovers are a little inflated over what they would be on other teams because we average so many more possessions. Just something to consider when evaluating all of our players.

at Wilson's age & the #'s he's putting up compared to other guys making those kinds of dollars like Luol Deng, Gerald Wallace & Andre Iguodala, he's gonna command that type of money... this is the realization all those in favor of trying to preserve our cap flexibility in the next 2 years have to face when it comes to guys like him & Gallinari... they won't be cheap to hold onto, & neither will Landry Fields if he keeps improving.

Chandler's played like a very good starter for only a few months now after being mediocre in past seasons. All those other guys had several years of very good play before their current contracts. Chandler hasn't earned as big a contract as those guys had earned by the time they were FAs.
