DALLAS -- Tyson Chandler (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/players/profile?playerId=984)’s time in Charlotte didn’t go as he hoped, but he has no hard feelings toward the Bobcats.

Chandler, whose season with Charlotte was marred by injuries, actually appreciates the Bobcats dumping his contract by dealing him to the Mavericks.

“I was telling Alexis Ajinca (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/players/profile?playerId=3410) that he’s got a little more animosity than I do,” said Chandler, referring to Charlotte’s former first-round pick that the Bobcats also got rid of in the trade for Erick Dampier’s vanishing contract, Eduardo Najera (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/players/profile?playerId=591) and Matt Carroll (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/players/profile?playerId=2211). “I was there for a short time, and they were good to me. They obviously worked out a good deal for me to be here, so it’s nothing against them.

“I appreciate that they sent me to a good place. It was good business for me.”Someone mentioned this in another thread, but after TC's arsehole actions last night I wanted to dedicate one especially for him...mainly to bash him. :paddle:

Was that not a very "tool" thing to do? He undercut Crash, pushed him backwards and then had the audacity to step towards him after they'd broke apart. It looked so much like he still had a grudge from Crash calling him out last season...no matter what he's saying here.

And what does Ajinca have to be pissed about? Thanks to us he's a freaking millionaire for doing pretty much nothing.

Glad to see Tyson is telling Lexi how to feel!

[Plowright]

F*ck them both

If shoving Gerald and being a dickhead is less animosity than Lexy, what the hell would Lexy do if he got on the court? I guess we'll never find that out...

[Mustachio]

ehh... i thought Gerald was the one instigating it with some extra-curricular activities down low. Pushing him in the back and what not. I dont see how there could be any animosity whatsoever besides typical on court annoyances. shake hands and move on.

Since I'm watching the games on a crappy foreign stream I didn't get to see it more than once or twice...but it seemed to me that he had Crash's arm locked and started "twisting" him backwards. Crash had to push him to break free.

Again tho...without seeing it more than once I can't say for sure that's what went down.

[Mustachio]

yeah im not saying Crash was being ridiculous or anything, just that it was basketball stuff. And when a smaller guy goes beating on the center it usually ends up in some words. No biggie as far as im concerned. I still like Tyson and think he would make this team 45% better than Nazr.

[spectre]

He'd absolutely make us better...esp. with it being a contract year.

I think what really got me was after they broke apart and TC took two or three steps in his direction in a menacing way. To me that said a heckuva lot, esp. for someone who just left our team.

[Mustachio]

I understand the luxury tax deal though and even with Tyson on a contract year, we arent contenders so whatever.

And yeah I kind of took that stomp towards Gerald as a reaction he would have everytime... except usually you would have people holding you back.

Looked to me like he went after his tormentor and realized that it was Gerald and said oh, ehhhh we cool. heat of the moment type stuff.

He shouldnt have beef anyway, hes on the better team now.

At least for the first 15-20 games until his legs gave out AGAIN.

It was about GW, Tyson was upset from comments made last season..GW said point blank in an interview he had "no heart" last season. And that was before Tyson said he was waiting until he had no discomfort in his ankle at all (before he would start working out in practice). GW and TC are like water and oil, one cares and one plays for Dallas.

Wasn't there a second instance after that on the free throw line. I hate when they 7' guys start with their elbows up and out, they can't really help that a 6'6" dude's face happens to be around the same height as their elbows but it just seemed kinda chippy for no real reason, like he was the bully and you know Gerald, he's not gonna get pushed around. I remember from my one year of organized basketball when I was 11 or something all that positioning crap and foul line antics are really annoying. I don't like Tyson because of the stare down when he dunked over Gerald. He's one of those guys who is happy to sit when something is bothering him, like it'll extend his career, it really just makes him look like a puss. I can't believe we turned the #2 overall pick into Matt Carroll and Eduordo Najera....

[Ghost Kat]

This would have been a perfect moment for a figure 4 leg lock

[LiquidWayno]

A contract year with an owner who has a raging hard on for any big?....I smell a suddenly-healthy Chandler.

[Toocool]

Can you smell what TC is cooking?
