Will Tyson Chandler be a disappointment?
Dallas Mavericks Blog | ESPN Dallas — The trade that more or less swapped aging center Erick Dampier for oft-injured center Tyson Chandler didn't exactly set off fireworks around town, even though the Dallas Mavericks spun the deal as a defensive upgrade in the case the Mavs meet the front-court rich Los Angeles Lakers in the playoffs. Since Chandler joined the Mavs and then started workouts with Team USA in Las Vegas in late July, reviews of the 7-foot-1 center have been mixed. Initially, USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo said Chandler needed to get in basketball shape. Mavs owner Mark Cuban quickly responded with positive...

September 1, 2010Tyson Chandler makes most of minutes
Dallas Mavericks Blog | ESPN Dallas — After seeing his playing time dwindle in each of the first three games of the FIBA World Championships, all the way down to less than five minutes in Monday's game, Dallas Mavericks center Tyson Chandler lit up the box score Wednesday in just 13 minutes in Team USA's fourth consecutive victory, 88-51, over Iran.

His 13 minutes equalled his total time in the previous two games. Here's Chandler's post-game interview: On the game: I thi...
September 1, 2010Did Mavs deal Erick Dampier too soon?
Dallas Mavericks Blog | ESPN Dallas — The Charlotte Bobcats still have hope they can make good use of Erick Dampier’s instantly expiring contract in the trade market. Bobcats general manager Rod Huggins told reporters that he’ll try to trade Dampier after Sept. 13 – when he can be packaged with other players – instead of waiving the big man beforehand and taking the savings from his $13 million salary being wiped off the books. “It's going to take a while,” Higgins said. “Now that we've got another center, waiving him for the sake of waiving him doesn't make a whole lot of sense for us. ...
September 1, 2010Tyson Chandler's Team USA role shrinking
Dallas Mavericks Blog | ESPN Dallas — The Dallas Mavericks are excited about center Tyson Chandler. They believe he's regained much of the explosiveness they remember during the 2008 playoffs and that's been ravaged the past two seasons by foot and ankle injuries. The Mavs became increasingly giddy over Chandler's play during the build-up toward the FIBA World Championships underway in Turkey. Chandler was receiving strong reviews from USA teammates as well as coach Mike Krzyzewski as he appeared to nail down the starting job at center. In fact, it seemed almost odd that the starting center for Team USA would come to Mavs trainin...
