Aldridge: Celtics Looking Very Hard at Tyson Chandler

So seemingly out of the blue tonight, David Aldridge announced on NBATV that the Celtics are "looking very hard" at free agent center Tyson Chandler. The Celtics are over the cap, so unless they are planning on blowing up the team, the only way they can afford Chandler is via a sign and trade. The next problem is that the Celtics don't really have the contracts to trade. So unless the Mavs are very interested in Big Baby, Jermaine O'Neal, or Jeff Green, I'm not sure how Danny could pull this off. We'll have to wait and see if this rumor has any traction.

Hypothetically, if the C's were able to add Chandler and keep the Big 4, they'd become one of the top favorites in the league this season.

David Aldridge interview after the jump. Feel free to suggest how the Celtics could possibly pull this move off in the comments.
