I like it. He was okay with Philly last season.

Excellent signing!!!

People who think this team isn't winning 45+ games are out of their minds, this roster is a huge improvement from last year's

See....when you land stars, you also land the best value deals. Love it!

Not bad... solid vet that knows how to play and a jack of all trades. Would of rather JaMychel Green but Chandler can play wing and power forward.

Not bad signing. My only concern is that his min and games he played went down past two seasons. If he can give us 20 min with 50 games I'll 've happy.

Good signing, he can play the 4 for us. Haven't kept up with him recently but if he can hit 3's from the corner, play D, and rebound that's good enough. I'm gonna miss Jared Dudley tho

ESPN has a headline for Dudley, so I thought Dudley left for no reason. It was only when I checked the other site that I saw the Chandler headline and realized Dudley signed with the Lakers after the Nets signed Chandler.

I remember Chandler from his early NYK and DEN days. He was a quiet but very solid player then. He’s much older now, but if he still plays like he used to for 15mpg, he’ll be very valuable while we wait for KD to come back.

Yeah, will definitely miss Dudz for sure.

Good deal. He's a good 9th or 10th piece at this stage. Good locker room guy.

Wilson Chandler is not as good as people remember him being, but I think he's still a better player on the court than Dudley. Maybe he won't make the same type of savvy plays, but he can play better on both ends of the floor. I hope our performance team works some magic on him, and he can recover some of the productivity he used to have a couple years ago. After all, we do have a good record with vets (Carroll, Dudley)

chandler was washed up 3 years ago. he is a corpse now. i guess we needed some more vets. seems like a faried dnp type. would have much prefere dudley.

Under Marks how many useless players have we had? Faried and Mozgov were salary dumps and rarely played. My guess is he either has something usable or he's a great dude who can take dnp's like a champ and earn his keep in the locker room. I'd have preferred duds for that too and for the continuity. I think, surprisingly duds still wants to play and they're going to need him for meaningful minutes in LA.

He’s still a very solid role player when healthy.

Chandler is a good pro and frankly he'll be here for veteran depth and in the locker room. Kurucs and Prince will need to put their big boy pants on now, the floor is theirs.

He’s had better days but maybe under Kenny he bounces back.

Corpse is a bit of a stretch no? When he was getting min in PHI he was shooting near 40% from deep. His numbers dipped after the trade but he's only 32, not 35. He might be better then Temple actually.

He is better than Temple and a better shooter. He will fit in just fine for depth in this system.

I love the balance of veterans and young guys right now. Marks knows what time it is.

i dont think it is a stretch. sooting 40% looks good on paper but he just sat in the corner waiting for the ball to find him. he is toast

Even if thats all he is which I dont think is true thats still nice as a 3rd string wing.
