As you may recall, Jackson and the New York Knicks traded Chandler to the Dallas Mavericks earlier this offseason and that’s when Jackson let off on his former player, suggesting he was a problem in the New York Knicks locker room.
Tyson Chandler, shocked at the acquisition, fired back at Phil Jackson and suggested he wasn’t the problem in the troubled locker room. The back and forth continued through Sunday with Phil Jackson tweeting the following:
Chemistry/culture? we have 1/3 roster new, every one new changes the chemistry on a team. Culture built on new behavior-fresh ideas.

If you’re trying to understand what that means, you’re not alone. But in typical Phil Jackson style, he leaves you wondering, not completely sure if you fully grasp what he was insinuating.
Why exactly Jackson needed to come after Tyson Chandler, especially after the big man was traded, is a bit odd. Is it possible that Jackson is attempting to make himself look better? Or is he possibly attempting to cover his tracks given the Knicks lack a man in the middle?
