he's soft as a baby's bottom. A fat baby. That's his glaring weakness. He is a "power" forward who doesn't like to bang, who isn't a real post threat, who can be muscled on the boards, and who's offense is a midrange jumper. Yes, he's one of the better PFs in the league, he is a skilled offensive player, but he's a weenie, and looked it against Chandler. That's before we get to the lack of mental toughness.
Before we had an offensive big, when we needed one, I considered him, as I've said. Now that we have our offensive big, there is NO room for him. He in fact flies directly in the face of the physical, tough, rebounding team we are putting together. For our team I would take Dalembert every day and twice on Sundays.
Here's a query -- do you think Dallas would trade Chandler for him? Shake your head. In fact when it comes time to win titles, Tysons Chandler is MORE important than Chris Bosh. Think when was the last time a title team DIDN'T have Tyson Chandler on their team? I cna tell you when that was -- the Jordan Bulls, who only had Dennis Rodman and a 7'2" center named Luc Longley. Since that time its been Shaq, and Duncan/Robinson, and Ben Wallace and Perkins and Bynum and Chandler...you get beyond your superstar, the next greatest common denominator on championship teams is the lane clugging rebounding physical big man. The skilled jumpshooting weenie big man comes somewhat lower on the list.
