Tmac on hoop collective mentioned Tyson chandler isn?t an official member of the Mavs staff when discussing his impact on Lively. Maybe im late but I had no idea. ?He shows up a lot to practices and works with him, he?s a sounding board and a mentor for lively?

Strange. I thought he was like a player development coach for the centers.

you're right - his wiki at least says he's been a player development coach for the mavs since 2021. technically he's not one of the "staff" in terms of assistant coaches. Not sure if there's a difference in salary or status but i'm sure that if he continues the Lord's good work with Lively that the Mavs could make it worth his while to stay. At least i'd think that the Cuban led front office would make that work out but not sure if some other team would be able to poach him if he got a better offer.
