Rumor Central: Does Tyson Chandler still want to stay with Suns?

Prior to the Feb. 23 trade deadline, Phoenix Suns general manager Ryan McDonough and owner Robert Sarver met with Tyson Chandler and asked if he'd rather be dealt to a playoff contender or remain with the team. At that time, Chandler opted to stay with the Suns. But does the 16-year veteran still prefer to finish out his contract in Phoenix?

"I have a summer to analyze things and think about things," Chandler told ArizonaSports.com on Wednesday.
