Why for Portland - they add an elite defensive center for a postseason run without hurting their rotation
Why for NY - they get 2 assets - McCollum and a future pick - for Chandler, plus they get a replacement. Leonard may or may not have value and could be replaced with another expiring. Keeps NY competitive this year and improves their ability to make trades in the offseason.
Not necessarily for that but the Blazers, who were reportedly interested in a C and interested in Chandler before the season, to be even more interested now that they are one of the top teams in the NBA. Problem is that Robin Lopez is having a real strong season so far so the chances of too many other things coming along with Lopez is less likely.
maybe 3 way trade to acquire asik is more doable.
asik would accept playing 20-25 min regularly. also bynum has health issues so we can guarantee asik somehow big role in team.
his contract finish in 2015. he's elite defender and offensively not too much worser than chandler.
