20 plus million? I just lol'd

The numbers are similar but the impact between Tyson and Perkins is a lot different.

Chandler can get alley oops. Chandler can defend pick and rolls. Chandler is way more athletic (hence jumping jack d and o). Chandler has knees.

Perk was the second-most important defensive player on the last two Celtic finals teams. Chandler's athletic advantage is huge but Perk was still very effective on D. He brings more toughness and physicality and in spite of Chandler's superior athleticism their career block numbers are similar. Chandler is more talented but it hasn't been reflected in his actual impact.

If dallas does not resign their FA how much money do they have for next year?

If they only re-sign Peja, Cardinal, Stevenson and other free agents to one year deals, they

Because the things Chandler does isn't in the numbers. Chandler has the ability to guard pick and roll situations... jump out to 20 feet, and still have the speed t o get back in the lane and cover his man. He has the ability to jump and deflect a shot and jump again and grab it. Or on offense tip the rebound the same way.

Perk was impactful for Boston. Not so much for OKC. Switch out Perk and Chandler for those two teams last WCFs... and OKC wins going away.

But Chandler IS NOT worth 20 million.

If that happens, I'm gonna start a protest to lock the NBA out again. Wall Street style!! Camping in front of arenas, littering, burning mascots, etc. Who's with me???

Well hell, can't hurt to ask right?

Perk's impact isn't about stats either. Last playoff he was out of shape coming off an acl tear. What he did for the Celtics was definitely on par with Chandler's role in Dallas.

apparently, people don't understand the concept of "negotiation".

You always ask for a higher amount than what you're really going to get.

and some of you guys were trying to be lockout negotiation pros. Just laughable.
