I met Tyson in the Barneys on 60th in Manhattan back when he was a Knick. Cool dude, very nice to my old lady. Man dug himself some Ann Demeulemeester. Wish I had asked him what he thought of Steve Lavin.
I hope he retires a Laker in 2-3 seasons with another title. I love him.
yeah. I really hope he returns on a vet's minimum and finishes out his storied career as a Laker.
Keeping him and McGee would be great, IMHO
I would rather mix in a big who can guard on the perimeter along with one of them.
Tristan Thompson next year after he and Cleveland agree to a buyout? Id take him on a vet min _________________ 48 49 50 52 53 54 72 80 82

A long time ago when he was with the Hornets, I used to think Chandler was sort of a bust given that he was drafted #2 overall (behind Kwame of all people) and that the Bulls had traded Elton Brand for him.
But after anchoring the 2011 championship Mavs defense and winning DPOY the next year, I'd say he's actually had a better career than the majority of #2 picks. I wish we had had him next to Pau instead of Bynum/Dwight. He would have been the perfect fit. _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:

This is the role Kobe wanted Dwight to play that caused the media to all pile on Kobe once again, as if he disrespected some great legend. I'd take Tyson all day over Dwight. The guy is just a winner.
Any chance Tyson comes back next year on a minimum deal?
Unless he retires. Gotta think he wouldn’t want to leave LA after the type of seasons hopes having. He also must know there won’t be much more than vet minimum type deals available.

before the season i heard a lot of predictions about Dwight winning MVP on 25/12/3 and leading the team. i think the talk about how great he is got to him, so he didnt want to accept no such "minor" role as was playing defense, setting screens for Nash/Kobe and catching lobs, and everyone was saying how great a fit he is for MDA and Nash too lol. he wanted the offense to run through him as was with the Magic, he wanted to be the next Shaq, but wasnt nearly on that level to warrant it. a shame we wasted the Bynum trade on him, when he was talked about as the 2nd best center in NBA. that and the CP3 veto set us back for years _________________ 48 49 50 52 53 54 72 80 82

I cant sing TCs praises enough. Him and Mcgee give us a rigid backbone.
He just knows how to play ball.
Those screens on and off the ball propel the offense.
Another very very good outing.

My personal opinion is that he will get more than vet min offers. He has shown that he is a more than capable backup C. The contract offers may be only a year--possibly two--but his play on the Lakers has shown that he still can play given the right circumstances. I hope the Lakers can find a way to keep both him and McGee. _________________ “When the debate is lost, slander becomes the tool of the loser.”
wish we drafted mitchell robinson so he could be learning from TC right now
TC probably wouldn’t be here if we drafted MR. _________________ Lakers Offseason Goal:
- Draft Zach Edey (or Kel'el Ware)
- Sign Jonas Valanciunas or Nicolas Claxton
- sign and trade DLO to not lose value
- sign a coach that’s not an idiot
How great has this guy been for us? Talk about a perfect in season pickup, love how hard he plays and his team attitude. _________________ Love, Laker Lanny
Really showed his age against the starters. Hopefully McGee returns soon and he can return back to his bench role. _________________ How NBA 2K18 failed the All-Time Lakers:

Yeah he's definitely lost a step. It's not as much of a problem against bench players but it was apparent yesterday. It's actually more obvious on offense than defense.
“I’m just trying to do whatever I can out there, you know?” Chandler told Silver Screen and Roll. “I want to get my guy going downhill, so whatever I can do to get my guy the advantage, that’s what I try to do.”
