http://tinyurl.com/2cso7xp The Mavs believe that they have one of the league’s best center tandems after re-signing Brendan Haywood and trading for Tyson Chandler. They might also have one of the league’s most interesting chemistry experiments. Haywood and Chandler weren’t friendly rivals when they were both young centers in the Eastern Conference. Chandler was ejected from an April 2005 Bulls-Wizards game for grabbing Haywood around the neck from behind and throwing him to the floor. “It was a cheap shot,” Haywood told CBSSports.com at the time. “For some reason, this guy has something personal against me. When I went down, he kind of acted like he was going to kick me in the chest and didn't do it. It was a sucker move. The bottom line is, when we see each other out in public, he never has anything to say. Who's tough with a bunch of referees around -- nobody?” Granted, that was more than five years ago, but you wonder whether there might still be some tension between the big men. OK, well, I wonder whether there might be some tension between the big men. Donnie Nelson dismissed it as a potential concern. “That’s sparks flying and guys that are passionate,” Nelson said. “That’ s no issue there.” Of course, Haywood has had issues getting along with the big man he was splitting minutes with before. While battling for a starting job with the Washington Wizards, Haywood and Etan Thomas got into three fights. Haywood apparently won them all, prompting him to playfully boast once about being the heavyweight champion of the Wizards. It’s worth noting that Haywood had no such issues with Erick Dampier while those two uncomfortably shared the starting job late last season. And part of the Mavs’ recruiting pitch to Haywood in free agency was that he’d be their starting center, so perhaps that eases the tension. But the Haywood-Chandler dynamic could be interesting to watch … from a safe distance. Haywood跟Chandler年輕時曾發生過多次衝突 當時兩位球員都自東區 2005年時有場比賽 Chandler抓了Haywood脖子 然後被驅逐出場 Haywood表示Chandler會把他幹倒 然後好像要往他身上踢下去 Chandler說他沒針對任何人 這是對比賽的熱情 Haywood過去時也有跟長人發生過衝突的紀錄 他在巫師時跟Etan Thomas發生過三次拳腳相向 結果顯然都是Haywood戰勝 Haywood來到小牛後跟Dampier一起分時間 他們兩位沒有發生衝突 (Dampier比較大隻?) 小牛下季先發中鋒將會是Haywood Chandler表示他對此沒問題 這兩位球員會發生什麼樣的火花 我們拭目以待 --
