As fun as that sounds, that is likely to be a long shot. What isn’t a long shot is the opportunity to be assigned as a coach, or even in a player-development role.</p><p>As of now, nothing is official. Although, it’s only a matter of time until the new head coach Jason Kidd wants to bring in the former Defensive Player of the Year for a specific role.</p><p>Kidd welcomed Chandler into the “Mavs Legends Program,” that owner Mark Cuban created. That allowed Chandler to get “his feet wet” for coaching and get a taste of what it’s about.</p><blockquote>“For me, I just want to help in any way I can,” Chandler said, per <a href="http://mavs.com/chandlersortofback/" rel="noopener">Dwain Price of Mavs.com</a>. “Jason called me and said, ‘What are you doing?’ I said, “Nothing much. Working out.’ And he’s like, ‘Well, come by.’ So I came by and I’m just trying to lend my knowledge and help any way I can.”</blockquote><p>Chandler last played during the 2019-20 season with the Houston Rockets. He has played for many different teams, but none are more primary than his time in Dallas. Chandler won a ring with Kidd and the Mavericks and solidified himself into the team’s history books.</p><p>It makes a lot of sense to bring in Chandler and allow him to coach up the frontcourt, as he was one of the best to do it in his generation. Chandler has already been working with the Mavs big men and raved about their potential.</p><blockquote>“I like what we have,” Chandler said. “Boban brings so much size, Willie is athletic (with) great movement, Dwight Powell has been in here every single day tightening up his skills. I think he presents something completely different – that kind of hybrid center that’s now in the league.”</blockquote><p>The former NBA all-star has a lot to bring to the table and that should please Luka Doncic. We all know Dallas can score a ton of points, but if the defense improves, watch out for the Mavs.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Of course, Ayton’s game-winner was on a much bigger stage, with Phoenix now up 2-0 in the Western Conference Finals and just two wins away from its first NBA Finals appearance since 1993.</p><p>The execution on this play was simply perfect, from Crowder’s pass to Booker’s screen to Ayton’s perfectly timed leap to put the ball in the basket from right above the cylinder. And, of course, Monty Williams and his coaching staff deserve credit for the call, though they were assisted by a replay review that basically gave them a free timeout. Still, give them kudos for taking advantage.</p><p>The Suns know they still have a long way to go here, as the Clippers have already erased this type of deficit twice in these playoffs. However, the looming return of Chris Paul and Kawhi Leonard’s knee injury have this series feeling a bit different.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Gibson has reportedly worked out for seven different teams in recent weeks.</p><p>The Knicks have nearly $18 million in cap space.</p><p>One season after helping lead the Dallas Mavericks to an NBA championship in 2011, Chandler was traded to the Knicks just prior to the 2011-12 season. He immediately became a key piece alongside Carmelo Anthony and Amar’e Stoudemire, and was an essential defensive cog on multiple playoff teams.</p><p>Tyson Chandler made his only All-Star appearance while playing for the Knicks, in 2011-12, and he won the NBA’s Defensive Player of the Year that season, too.</p><p>In three seasons in NYC, Chandler averaged 10.2 points, 10.1 rebounds, and 1.7 blocks per game, while shooting 63.8% from the field.</p><p>The 38-year-old center played for the Houston Rockets in 2019-20, his 19th NBA season. Chandler appeared in 26 games for Houston.</p><p>Despite the injuries, the Knicks (5-3) have produced perhaps the most surprising start of any team in the NBA, as Thibodeau already has his group playing harder and smarter than they did last season.</p><p>After their comeback win over the Utah Jazz on Wednesday, the Knicks have won five of six games, including multiple victories of Eastern Conference playoff teams.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Pundits expected Houston to field Chandler against the massive Los Angeles Lakers frontline in the second round of the 2020 playoffs.</p><p>That idea, of course, did not materialize as he was given a DNP in the Rockets’ 11 postseason games.

Granted he won’t be playing much given the milage on his aging body, Chandler would still provide a strong locker room presence needed to win a title in this league.</p><p>Unlike in seasons past where he was once considered a top free-agent prospect, Chandler would be lucky to get a veteran’s minimum this year. The one-time NBA champion, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/dodgers-news-lebron-james-does-best-magic-johnson-impression-game-1-world-series/" rel="noopener noreferrer">however, would likely</a> still have some suitors looking to add size in their interior.</p><p>Let’s have a look at three of the most ideal landing spots for Tyson Chandler.</p><h2><b>Brooklyn Nets</b></h2><figure><img src="https://clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Los_Angeles_expected_to_sign_Tyson_Chandler-1024x536.jpg"><figcaption>CP</figcaption></figure><p>The Nets are widely expected to become instant contenders next season with superstars Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving back to 100 percent.

Chandler should be a good (not to mention cheap) insurance piece for Brooklyn next season.</p><p>The one-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year winner is still a formidable post defender and rim protector that could bang bodies with the behemoths of the East. Durant and Irving would certainly appreciate having a proven vet in their bid to live up to the lofty expectations next season.</p><p>Chandler is also quite adept in the pick-and-roll during his Hornets days with Chris Paul. Irving, of course, is one of the best playmakers of this generation and Chandler would complement Uncle Drew’s strengths. The same goes for KD, who could use an enforcer like Chandler to have his back each night.</p><h2><b>Los Angeles Clippers</b></h2><figure><img src="https://clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Tyson_Chandler_unlikely_to_play_remainder_of_2017-18_NBA_season-1024x536.jpg"></figure><p>The Clippers do need some big bodies next year with the inevitable exit of Sixth Man of The Year winner Motrezl Harrell. Their experiment with Joakim Noah also did not work, so they might as well try their luck with Chandler.</p><p>The one-time All-NBA Defensive Team member was actually selected by the Clippers second overall in the 2001 Draft before dealing him to the Bulls for Elton Brand. Chandler is also no stranger to LA, having played for the Lakers in 2018-19.</p><p>Ivica Zubac has done a solid job as the Clippers’ starter so far, but no doubt he could develop further under Chandler’s mentorship.</p><p>Plus, the Dominguez-high school product’s gritty personality fits perfectly alongside the Clippers’ current ensemble. The Clippers had the perimeter locked down last year with Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, and Patrick Beverley harassing passing lanes. Tyson Chandler could help shore out the paint and make the Clippers’ defensive unit even more formidable.</p><h2><b>Golden State Warriors</b></h2><figure><img src="https://clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Tyson-Chandler-says-Suns-bought-him-out-because-_they-weren_t-gonna-play_-him-1024x576.jpg"></figure><p>The Warriors obviously have their eye on more high-profile names in their big man search. Chandler, however, will be a good option if all else fails. Plus, the 19-year vet would likely be open to a huge pay-cut for an opportunity to join the storied Warriors franchise.</p><p>Dubs head coach Steve Kerr already admitted that his team needs all the help it can get with their current frontline situation. While the 38-year-old center is no longer the spring chicken he once was, Chandler still brings all the intangibles that Warriors centers possessed in the past.</p><p>During their dynasty, the Warriors always had lumbering giants like JaVale McGee and Andrew Bogut who can set screens, catch lobs, coral rebounds, and block shots.</p><p>That’s pretty much Chandler’s bread-and-butter throughout his entire pro career. The Warriors do play at a punishing pace and it remains to be seen if Tyson Chandler can keep up with this on a nightly basis. But if given limited but meaningful minutes, there’s no reason why Chandler can’t prosper in The Bay.</p><figure class="op-tracker"><iframe><script>  (function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){  (i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),  m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)  })(window,document,'script','https://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');  ga('create', 'UA-66147751-16', 'auto');  ga('set', 'campaignSource', 'Facebook');  ga('set', 'campaignMedium', 'Instant Article');  ga('set', 'title', ia_document.title);  ga('send', 'pageview');</script><script type="text/javascript">      window._taboola = window._taboola || [];      _taboola.push({          article: 'auto',          ref_url: 'http://instantarticles.fb.com'      });      !function (e, f, u, i) {          if (!document.getElementById(i)) {              e.async = 1;              e.src = u;              e.id = i;              f.parentNode.insertBefore(e, f);          }      }(document.createElement('script'),          document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0],          'https://cdn.taboola.com/libtrc/clutchpoints-clutchpoints/trk.js',          'tb_loader_script');      if (window.performance) {          if (typeof window.performance.mark == 'function') {            window.performance.mark('tbl_ic');          }        }</script></iframe></figure></article>    </body></html>

It’s just that we made some business decisions after the lockout that hurt us a little bit in the long run. With [Steve Nash], I think that was tough. I think Mark [Cuban] felt like his back was not going to hold up for six-plus years or whatever Phoenix offered him and he where I thought for sure we should’ve kept him,” the Mavs legend shared.</blockquote><p>The Mavs had an incredible run in the early 2000s’, as Nash set up the table for the franchise’s best scorers in Dirk Nowitzki and Michael Finley. Prior to the 2003-04 season, Nash tried to negotiate a long-term deal to stay in Texas. Owner Mark Cuban, however, was reluctant to break the bank for Nash who was turning 30 years old at the time.</p><p>Nash packed his bags and signed a six-year, $63 million contract with the Phoenix Suns, where he would win two MVP awards.</p><p>The Chandler situation, on the other hand, was truly a head-scratcher for Dallas at the time. The seven-foot center was a vital part of the Mavs’ title run in 2011. Many believed that locking Chandler to a long-term deal was simply a no-brainer in the summer of 2011.</p><p>Cuban was reportedly wary of a new collective bargaining agreement at the time and only offered the defensive ace a two-year deal, which Chandler declined. He was traded to the New York Knicks where he received a four-year, $58 million contract.</p><p>Despite these shortcomings, Nowitzki stands by the Mavs’ front office and lauded them for the marvelous job they’ve done throughout his stay.</p><blockquote>“Sometimes you make business decisions that you regret later and sometimes you get lucky with some, as we did in 2011 with some of the guys that I mentioned… Those are two tough decisions we made as a franchise but with Donnie [Nelson], of course we also made some great decisions over my 20-plus years just to be in a position where we can win 50-plus games over 10 years. I think we obviously did more right than wrong,” he added.</blockquote><figure class="op-tracker"><iframe><script>  (function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){  (i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),  m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)  })(window,document,'script','https://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');  ga('create', 'UA-66147751-16', 'auto');  ga('set', 'campaignSource', 'Facebook');  ga('set', 'campaignMedium', 'Instant Article');  ga('set', 'title', ia_document.title);  ga('send', 'pageview');</script><iframe>    <script type="text/javascript">        window._taboola = window._taboola || [];        _taboola.push({            article: 'auto',            ref_url: 'http://instantarticles.fb.com'        });        !function (e, f, u, i) {            if (!document.getElementById(i)) {                e.async = 1;                e.src = u;                e.id = i;                f.parentNode.insertBefore(e, f);            }        }(document.createElement('script'),            document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0],            'https://cdn.taboola.com/libtrc/clutchpoints-clutchpoints/trk.js',            'tb_loader_script');        if (window.performance) {          if (typeof window.performance.mark == 'function') {            window.performance.mark('tbl_ic');          }        }    </script>    </iframe></iframe></figure></article>    </body></html>
