Signing Tyson Chandler is a Bad Decision, Regardless of Aldridge Outcome

The signing of Tyson Chandler signals an about face for the Suns as an organization, and in this case that is probably not a good thing.

As everyone is now well aware, I am sure, the Phoenix Suns recently signed Tyson Chandler to a 4 years, $52 million contract. The 33 year old center immediately went about recruiting the Suns' other major off-season target, LaMarcus Aldridge, who met with team representatives including Chandler earlier in the week.

The move was widely hailed as a positive one on Basketball Twitter. Particularly, commentators have noted how much the Phoenix training staff will mean for Chandler's longevity:

Outside of these commentaries on fit, and a few scattered assurances that the years/dollar figure isn't outlandish, the twitter-sphere has been relatively quiet on the question of whether this was a wise move for the Suns.
