PHOENIX — Former Knick Tyson Chandler said he had only two conversations with team president Phil Jackson.
“The day he came and the day I was leaving,” Chandler said. “Both were short, brief. I don’t know him. I don’t have anything to say about him either way
Jackson was hired late in March 2014, and traded Chandler to Dallas in June for Jose Calderon, Samuel Dalembert, Shane Larkin, Wayne Ellington and two second-round picks. That deal didn’t net the Knicks much, but Calderon eventually was moved in the trade for Derrick Rose.
Chandler is from Southern California so seeing how Jackson has gotten under the skin of LeBron James and upset Carmelo Anthony with recent comments hasn’t surprised him.
