Is Tyson Chandler an upgrade over Amir?

[trickybilly]

Been thinking about this one.

Amir brings: BQIQ, defensive positioning, draws his man all the way to the 3pt line, great passing, character guy, nice inside game, offensive rebounding

Tyson brings: REBOUNDING - guy still got it, character guy, absolutely zero 3pt shooting, good passing, big defensive presence.

Identical Contracts... straight swap, maybe even throw them an extra second rounder.

I know the better deal would be to flip Zeller aplus a second, but Phoenix probably balk at that given how we potentially landed a Hall of Famer for erm, Marcus Thornton - they would need a project guy. Maybe James Young?

Not sure I would want to mess with the chemistry for a rental, but it just feels like with 1 more solid rebounder (not just Terry Rozier) we would improve dramatically on second chance points against, and become a more reliable team on the defensive end.

Yes he is a significant upgrade for this team.

I'm not sure where you're getting the 'rental' thing though. He's still got 2 more years left on his deal after this one at 13 per.

Sorry, yeah, I see it. No real rise either. It's a pretty great deal considering he's got at least 2 more years in him given the way he's been playing lately.
