Chandler was an aging but key piece of a championship team that was about to become significantly more expensive. His career had also been marked by lots of injuries.
Donnie and Mark’s assessment was that he was risky and overpriced, and that re-signing him would limit their roster-building flexibility for several years.
There are those on this board (not including me) who would argue that the team was talented enough to repeat as champions, if they had only re-signed their existing players.
It’s really hard to guess right. And it’s really hard to win a championship.
