New York Knicks center Tyson Chandler is uncertain for how long he wants to remain a Knick. While the veteran admitted he has "a lot of decisions" to make in the offseason, the Knicks could look to trade him before his contract expires in 2015.
Count Chandler among the number of those upset with how the Knicks' season has panned out. Chandler is under contract until after next season, but that doesn't mean he wants to stay in the Big Apple.
"That's something I have to visit during the offseason," Chandler told the New York Post. "We're all going to have a lot of decisions to make."
New York owes Chandler $14.5 million next season - if they don't trade him first. His name sprung up in at least one trade rumors this season, but the consensus was New York was unwilling to part with him for anything less than an incredible offer.
With the Knicks (21-40) unlikely to reach the playoffs, change is imminent. New York doesn't have a first-round draft pick until 2018. In an effort to begin rebuilding, either with picks or assets, Knicks owner James Dolan may choose to shop Chandler for a trade as soon as the season ends.
Despite a losing record and his future in New York being uncertain, Chandler is adamant about finishing the season strong.
"For me, it's important regardless [to finish out strong]," Chandler said. "I got a lot more pride than this, coming in night in, night out losing, and not putting forth the type of effort it takes to win. At this stage of my career and what I've established, I refuse to let it put a blemish on it."
New York can snap their seven-game losing streak with a win on Wednesday against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
