No kidding - I thought Chandler was pretty much trade bait until I saw him practice for Team USA. Even then, I didn't think he'd become the starter over Brendan Haywood...
Now? Well, now I think he's the only untouchable Mavs player not named "Dirk" - he's such a perfect compliment next to the Big German.
As long as Tyson Chandler stays on this team, Dirk's window remains open for the rest of his contract (and I'm pretty sure the extra money Nowitzki turned down so "the team could get better" is going to end up in Chandler's pocket...)
