10. Tyson Chandler

(Trade Value: C+)

Although 35, Chandler proved last season that he still has spring in his legs and can be a solid defensive center and impact offensive player when close to the rim. Teams who are built offensively from the back court first and want a defensive-minded center, might look at Tyson Chandler with a wishful eye. Unfortunately while his value from the defensive end is high, his age and two years remaining under contract at about $26.5M total, will keep the Suns from getting a significant return. Can they get a first round pick? Probably, but they will also have to take back a bloated contract. Can they get a young player? Maybe, but they will have to throw something else in to sweeten the deal. There is trade value here, but it isn’t going to be easy to get a youthful asset in return.
