As for Chandler, I'm not sure what medical problems you're talking about. As far as I can tell, he's played in all 29 games so far and I believe he's playing tonight. Or are you thinking of Curry, whose heart condition convinced the Bulls to trade him to the Knicks?
Chandler doesn't put up great stats, but there are a couple things to keep in mind. 1) Games aren't played on paper and stats aren't everything. Chandler provides a lot of the things (size & athleticism up front, shotblocking, rebounding) that the Kings need. 2) He's still only 23. He's five years from his prime, providing some youth and hope for the future as well. 3) The Kings don't need another guy to put up big offensive numbers. If he can get a few points off putbacks, running the floor and open jumpers, that's fine with me. The Kings don't need more scoring. If he could put up 8-10 points, 10+ rebounds and 2 blocks or so a game, I think that would be good enough.
