I've been told LaMarcus Aldridge is not going to Phoenix.
He has 15k followers and Steve Kyler retweeted...although Steve Kyler never seems to know anything, and no idea who Pick is

Playing Len at PF has got to be a joke? Trying to unaturally mold him into some type of Stretch 4 would hamper his long term development as a center and he still needs to develop a reliable post game. Our offense would suffer just so we could have a twin towers defensive frontcourt
He has a sweet stroke and was shooting 3s in college. Not sure how unnatural this is to him. I can't understand how playing next to Chandler would create any suffering.

That's your opinion, but it seems like mine is more in line with the people that matter.
What is that supposed to mean?

This.
It's not rocket science Len is 7 feet he is agile he can shoot from midrange out. He won't suffer from this.
Chandler will instill toughness and restrain the twins and maybe get them focused and more productive which is a bonus.

I don't know if you guys remember but we had a play last year which was designed for Len to pop up the arc in the corner. He drained it.
Guy has great shooting mechanics; not crazy to think he could learn how to hit the three regularly

=Signed Tyson Chandler to 52/4. Immediately brought Chandler into our meeting with Aldridge alongside Babby/McDonough/Horny and Bledsoe/Knight/Earl Watson(mentor to LMA in PDX, now one of our assistant coaches)
=Lost Wright to Memphis
=Waiting to hear on LMA's decision which won't be announced today since he's still meeting the Knicks tmw. Stein and Berger say we'ved moved alongside SAS in contention to land him, but there's this unknown Euroleague reporter David Pick who just tweeted out that LMA is going to SAS, so nobody really knows what to do with that info
=If LMA agrees, we'd have to work a sign and trade with PDX to make salaries work, since we used all our cap space on Tyson Chandler

- We signed Tyson Chandler to strengthen our pitch to LMA.
- Sarver, Babby, McDonough, Knight, Bledsoe, Horny, Watson, and Chandler all attended the meeting with LMA
- They met for about 2 and a half hours, LMA was very impressed with our pitch.
- Now it looks like its between us and San Antonio to sign him.

why would Len have to be a stretch four? We didn't make Markieff be one, although he had range out to the three. Len could be the pick and pop, while Chandler is the pick and roll. I'd much rather Len learn from Chandler than Mark West (not that I don't like West).saintEscaton wrote:sunsfever68 wrote:JMac1 wrote:
Yes you do, especially if the guy averaged 10 and 11 last year, plus worse case, Len play the 4. Primary goal was to get LMA and contingency plan was play Len at the four.
think that is a very underrated part of the signing.
We all wanted a Porzingis/Len front line
Well Len can shoot from deep and has range. you let Chandler play the 5 and you have Len slide from the 5 to the 4.
you can do kieff/len
kieff/chandler
Len/chandler

Damn...
I misread that we resigned Wright. Thought his deal was pretty cheap for his production...
I'm not sure about the Tyson signing, if we don't end up with LMA, where does that leave us? Chandler is clearly a guy who should be paid to play for a contender so I'm not sure this is a good signing.

Can we not ship Tuck/Mook to Cle for Haywood expiring to shed contract in separate deal and sign Aldridge outright and go over the cap?
Cle needs wings who can shoot. We have alot of wings

Someone reputable tweeted that he wasn't going to make up his mind tonight because he wants to give NY a chance.
