I called Chandler to be out target last year and made many post about it. After Dallas won their Championship, it seemed unlikely that we can grab a true center of his caliber.
Matt Gasol
Deandre Jordon
looks like they will be retained by both their teams.
I am happy Tyson Chandler is here, I think he is going to be contagious. The presence he solidifies in the middle, protecting the paint, can help build team work , and chemistry.
With Amare and Melo, taking majority of the shots, I actually would like us to move the ball with the rest of the shots.
Whoever, is hot, and whoever has the mismatch, let the team work it out.
I like the way TD plays and he can go off and hit many 3's with good looks and ball movement.
Tyson Chandler is a big boy and he sets nice screens, he causes a lot of mismatches with the picks and him rolling after.
Dirk
Terry
Barea
were Dallas 3 main options, most of the time but Marion and Kidd could also get hot. And Kidd didn't shoot much at times, but he shot effectively from good % on 3pters n free throws.
I remember when Kidd, couldn't create, no longer having the penetration and quickness he once did.
Barea came in and used the pick n roll, hitting jumpers, penetration and finishing, and penetrating dishing in or out.
Ak47, I wonder if the 2.5 exemption or biannual would be enough to attract him here?
Shawne Williams, what is the hold up that we can't resign someone that wants to be here.
Do you guys feel we should pick one of these 2 with Ak47/Shawne Williams? or to sign em both?
It doesn't look like we can even trade with Atlanta at this point, which I don't want to roll the dice with Crawford anyway.
However, adding another guard that can run could be helpful in this shortened seasons.
Barea, doesn't look like hes coming for 2.5 mill either?
I don't mind adding either player between Barea, although I prefer Barea, or Crawford.
However, I don't want to give up TD and def not Iman, for either player.
If we don't add any guards and can add Ak47 and Shawne Williams I wouldn't be upset at all.

1 spot left.....3 spots without Shawne Williams and Ak47
I like AK47's versatility, shot blocking, length, and quickness for his size.
Problem is, he has a history of injuries the the past couple of years
I like his style of play and the combination of Chandler and him could be deadly.
ic him more as a lanky and still some athleticism and PF/C. Still can be used at times at SF, only because Chandler is out center.
I cant wait till we finish our roster for this year and FA in the summer lol
