They are using this signing to help get LMA more reason to sign here. Good move!

I only like this signing if it leads to LA also signing with the team. Otherwise it's a waste. Wright could have been had at half the price & is a lot younger. Chandler is soon to be 34 years old with a history of back issues, I can see this not ending well if we strike out with LA.
Chandler is an elite rebounder. So that's good. Still on the downside of his career though. Aldridge is not coming to Phoebix so don't get your hopes up.
The contract seems a little higher than I would have preferred, given his age, but he's still good and I hope he will be that veteran leader we've been really lacking.
How do you think minutes get split between him and Len?
They've now overpaid for Chandler. LMA would have changed the game.
Suns are still a Tier II team on the free agent market. They will get meetings, but despite having talent that should lure the best players, they are going to miss out on the Lebrons and Aldridges of the world. Some players want to win and the Suns don't exactly have a rich recent tradition of that. Tyson Chandler is probably their ceiling.
Sorry y'all didn't get LMA. I would actually rather have Tyson and his contract you gave him than DeAndre and the one we gave him.
Tyson is a stud, a true locker room leader, and even without adding anyone else he alone can motivate a couple more wins out of your team. Great signing by PHX.
