I don't think it's working.

If Larry Brown is involved in anything it's that he's probably asking for a Center replacement in return.

LB was visibly frustrated with EO50 at points during the season - and then with what he said a couple of weeks ago about EO50 caring about the game as much as he does about his stretching........

Ham if he pulled that off like you thought that out it would almost be as good as a nice revenge ****. The only difference is the majority of the people he would be screwing over don't even care in the first place.

Well, seems to be a done deal now. Hope this is not a duplicate post.

I took the yoga/pilates/stretching comment to be classic LB motivational techniques, but I'm now reminded of the comment out of the blue about how a center doesn't need to have high bbiq.

Ugh. Here's hoping Cletois fails his physical again. Someone go break his toe.

That's the kicker in this whole thing. I don't really like Chandler any way, but to top it all off, he's gimpy too!

If there is nothing more coming from this other than a swap, then the Bobcats are the laughing stock of the NBA tonight. Just a horrible swap if this is merely to knock off 3 years of Contract exposure to help Bob sell the team. And I cannot say ILBIT if he is in agreement with this swap.

HA! Now he's alienating EVERYONE! "IF CHARLOTTE WON'T BE AN NBA CITY FOR MY BOBCATS, THEN THEY SHANT HAVE A FRANCHISE AT ALL! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA!"

and then that ugly chic from a few weeks ago tells you she's pregnant and you are the only bloke she has slept with in the past 2 years......

Can this get any worse.......

I hope you are happy, Bassman!

And then she queefs on you.

Fu/ck ILBIT.

Well, if you guys want to contend in the East you are going to need a big capable of defending Shaw, Howard, Perkins and co. It's no secret Brown has been trying to upgrade the center position since he got there and hopefully this satisfies him. It would be a shame if you couldn't part with either Nazr or Dip as part of the deal though.

To be quite honest, from a value perspective, sure it looks like you might be getting hosed a little here, but from an on the court perspective, I think this might actually improve the team.

Wallace/Diaw/Chandler makes more sense than any combination of Diaw/Okafor/Diop. I still like you guys to surprise next year and be on par with Philly in the east.

I predict this sets Charlotte back at least 8 games from last season. Absent some other moves and this swap being the only move, we just got worse.

You guys think they have any tickets left for next season or are they sold out already?

Slam, I don't doubt that LB is frustrated with Okafor as we all know from his comments and the way he played him at times during the season. Much of the fan base is. He could have even picked him out as the guy that needs to be traded of all the long contracts. (considering mohammad, diop are virtually untradeable.) But this has to be coming from the higher ups.

Also don't look past the fact that this is happening the Monday after the season ticket holder renewal deadline and relocation event has past. Who knows how long something like this has been in the works. Word could have come down from Johnson months ago to clear salary.

Not to be even more of a downer...

But is this right? Everyone thinks Chandler is a superb shotblocker, right?

Well, if the stats are correct, his career high is 1.8 bpg (happened twice).

Okafor's career AVERAGE is 1.8 bpg (or 1.9, depending on which site you use).

Ugh. I figured Chandler blocked like 20 shots/game. I guess it's a case of where every block Chandler made that I saw on ESPN's top 10 plays were actually his only blocks........

I'm ready to call my ticket rep up and blast him out. He's only been with the team for a few months now and it's not his fault but damn someone needs to take some **** for this.
