Tyson Chandler felt like scapegoat 'at times' with Knicks

[Sportsguy9695]

Center Tyson Chandler felt like a scapegoat "at times" for the New York Knicks' failures last season.
The Knicks entered the season with high expectations coming off a trip to the second round of the Eastern Conference playoffs but ended with a 37-45 record and the firing of coach Mike Woodson. Chandler was dealt to the Dallas Mavericks in a six-player deal in June when new Knicks president Phil Jackson cited a desire to change the chemistry of the franchise. Those comments offended the big man, who prides himself on professionalism and leadership.
Chandler missed 20 games early last season because of a nondisplaced fracture of his right fibula, with the Knicks falling to 10 games under .500 in his absence. With a pained grin on his face, he said he believed he occasionally received too much blame for the Knicks' disappointing performance last season.
 
"At times, at times, at times," Chandler told ESPNDallas.com. "But I feel like New York made me a lot stronger, a lot stronger of a person going through trials and tribulations there. But that's life."

Our D was so much better with him on the court. Miss him already.

I never understood that trade for New York.  I would have to imagine that Chandler would have actual value in the right deal.  One of a few defensive anchors in the NBA
