dalembert and kwame will be tough b/c their in our division and ernie won't trade kwame to ny.

chicago has to make a choice between chandler and curry and if push came to shove, i believe they'll go with curry.

i want chandler more anyways. he's camby part 2 and would definitely thrive with marbury. he's more injury prone but he brings the D, something curry does not.

chicago has a TON of cap room next season. the biggest deal they have is atonio who is expiring. since isiah and paxson seem to like each other in terms of making a deal, we can offer nazr + moochie + cash + #1 which gives them $5mil in salary coming ($8 mil in deals - $3 mil in cash) in and allowing them to dump moochie and get another #1 pick (since they traded theirs away). we offer chandler 6 years at $48-50. helps both teams and i think the most realistic scenario.

lol, "more injury prone than camby". sorry, i'm not debating it, it's just funny to hear that anyone would be.
anyhoot, why would philly not trade dalembert to ny if they were going to trade him to nj? jersey just did'nt have enough to give back.

I would love to have Chandler. I think he would be a good combination with Nazr.I would rather trade Sweets than Nazr.

chandler is a free-roaming center that blocks shots either straight up or on help and grabs a ton of boards. his game is identical to camby's. he would be the perfect compliment to a low post player like sweetney and definitely will help b/c of our poor perimeter defense. his defensive style is perfect for our team.

he has pretty much zero offensive game but plays above the rim and can dunk. but we're getting him for defense, not offense.

i think that was all speculation by the papers. i can not see philly trading dalembert to a team in the division. he has the ability to be a franchise center and that would kill them if he does develop. i'm sure we'd have to crazily overpay if philly would even think about sending him here. it's not too realistic unless they're that down on him.

of those 3 for some reason my favorite player IS chandler. he can play the 4 or 5 and brings alot of intensity. so i'm with you there.

btw, bulls fan are certain that paxson would keep chandler over curry but looks like they'll re-sign both. they want no part of nazr and believe the knicks have nothing to offer for either. they're looking at moving one of them for wilcox and simmons. so it may be a pipe dream for us.
