Mavs deal for Tyson Chandler ~ Injury Prone Texas Rangers

GO MAVS!!! We're getting Tyson Chandler back!!!! Do you even know who Tyson Chandler is?? He is a Center and Power Forward who helped the Dallas Mavericks win a Championship in 2011! ( Center & Power Forward is the guy who posts up in the paint and blocks shots! He is usually a tall guy who can dunk and do some finger-rolls! )  Many Mavs fans loved Chandler and were sad to see him go, but Mark Cuban traded him after the 2011 season because of the size of his contract and salary cap!

We used to have a guy on our team in the 90's, Juan Gonzales . He only swung for the fences ( tried to hit home runs ) and was successful a lot of times, but had a lot of strikeouts too. It worked out well that he played with a guy named, Rusty Greer , who was always on base and would become an RBI for Gonzal...
