Dal-Tor

[John Calipari]

Dallas trades 
Tyson Chandler $17,500,000 $19,250,000 $21,000,000 $22,750,000 $24,500,000

Toronto trades 
Danilo Gallinari $11,559,225, D.J. Augustin $3,000,000, 2016 TOR 1st round, 2016 NY first round

While it's going to hurt losing Chandler's stats (top 10 rebounds, blocks) this was a move I had to make. Both Gallo and Augustin are expiring, and while both the 1st round picks are going to be from playoff teams, it's a good chance to refill with some youth.

I still can't believe chandler is getting paid this much, this doesn't seem like a good trade but I'm not even a part of these decisions so I don't want to step on anyone's toes.

[Brian Scalabrine]

Accept. I need someone to take Bosh's place in the lineup, and Chandler is a top tier defender and rebounder. A great compliment to Dirk or Bosh, and we'll dominate next year with a Dirk/Chandler/Bosh/Speights frontcourt rotation next year. The cap hit is big going forward, but this team has a lot of guys on long term deals, so one or two good MLE signings should fill out our roster well next year. The picks are both low firsts which will be tough to lose, but overall Chandler should be worth it.

not a good trade for the Raptors

[John Calipari]

It is if you're trying to Make a push in the playoffs this year.

[Brown Cobb IV]

i accept, an overpay for chandler but not franshise ruining

[Steve Jobs]

Honestly seems like a crap trade at first glance, but if Bosh does come back before the season is over to play again in the playoffs, that will undoubtedly be reflected in our sims. Adding Chandler as a bench player to this squad with or without a stockwatch will still be a big, important piece for these Raptors. It sucks to see Gallo thrown in with this trade when the two first round picks by themselves should be more than enough, but both sides have agreed to the price and (like BC said) the trade doesn't appear to be franchise ruining. We'll see for sure before the end of this season if the trade was smart or not, but I'm not willing to bet any money on it so you know it can't be quite as bad as it may seem at first glance.

[Brian Scalabrine]

Gallo is out for the season IRL, he's living on borrowed time on the sim right now. Both of the guys I'm sending are expiring, and Shump/Bradley can definitely do everything Augustin does. This deal keeps us as a contender even if Bosh doesn't return, and gives us a huge edge if he does. We'll be nine guys deep going into the offseason with this trade, watch me make that MLE count this year and get two or three guys to finish off our rotation.

[Brown Cobb IV]

I forgot that Gallo is out irl. Damn makes me like this trade even more

[Pete Maravich]

Does Toronto have a first in the next two years to allow this trade?

Yes. We got back our 2017 1st from Portland in the Walker - Thompson trade.

[Reggie Miller]

Forgot also that Gallo is out.. I accept..

This trade is still waiting to be processed, waiting to hear from the 3rd GM on waiving Chandler's no trade clause.

Tyson chose Dallas for a reason. What that reason is, is really up to the original player agents, but, in either case, he wanted to be in Dallas.

When I look at this, I do not look at the team or the teammates. I look at the city. Because he chose that place over the others.

Why would Tyson want to uproot his family, leave his friends, and go to a completely different country to play basketball? I think that he would say no.

Remember, no trade clauses are there for a reason. And when a player decides to waive his no trade clause, he makes a list of teams that are acceptable for him to be traded to. A lot of times, that list of teams does not include winning or championship caliber teams.

I say no. Tyson would not want to uproot his family for another country to play basketball for the next, presumably, 3 years.

I look at it this way, after next season, would Chandler opt-out? I think he would. I don't think he wants to play for Toronto.

I vote No.

So wikipedia reveals that I do indeed have 3 tiny little baby children and a wife. I would certainly miss them in Toronto but they're in first and their mascot is a dinosaur. If I win a ring in Toronto, my hand would be too icey for anyone to be mad at me.

I'll waive the clause, but maybe I don't know myself good enough.

I think the clause would be waived. If real life can be used for reasoning here, Chandler is very clearly unhappy playing on a losing team, and has made that known. As a veteran who really wants to win, I think it makes a lot of sense for him to accept this trade that sends him from a high lottery team to one of the 3 best teams in the east.

Trade passed.
