Problem is, i didn't buy that from the moment he said it. I think he did it for the money, and because of New-York. So to me, the whole premise of the thread is questionable, and not because it's about Chandler again.
Can anybody put together a sound argument that Tyson Chandler could have been the difference maker in Deron's decision? I mean, why would Tyson Chandler would have made any difference? With all due respect to his presence on our championship team, the guy never made an all-star team.

I think it's possible because of team USA. But again, you're talking about Dirk/Deron/Tyson, one or two useable pieces and the vet minimums.
So first you have to convince Deron that joining up for that roster makes sense. And then you have to actually make that roster work. And I think it would have been almost impossible.
