Re: Bobcats and Hornets rumor Deal
Its not a swap. The trade is centered around those players.

Re: Bobcats and Hornets rumor Deal
It'll be even better if we had more details. It's hard to judge a trade that is still in talks. From the looks of it, it seems like it's a wash in my opinion. Both are just defensive centers with no offense. What's the deal with Tyson's contract?

Re: Broken Pending Trade News....
"The Hornets and Bobcats are in advanced discussions on a trade that would send center Tyson Chandler to Charlotte in exchange for fellow big man Emeka Okafor, according to NBA front-office sources.
It was not immediately known if the teams are ready to complete the swap -- or if the deal would expand to include other players or teams -- but sources close to the process said talks featuring Chandler and Okafor as the main components have been ongoing since late last week. "

Re: Broken Pending Trade News....
wow that sucks. Emeka becomes a star playing next to Paul, we are lucky to get 40 games out of Chandler. Id do this if we got David West or something as well but jeez

So we'd be paying Chandler more for less production the next two seasons, while probably forgetting about the playoffs. Great!

That has to be the reason. Has to be more involved or this is not a good deal.

Re: Okafor for Chandler rumors
knowing our front office i would think the deal is straight up or with us potentially giving more... and we are doing this purely to cut salary for 2 years down the road when LB leaves and we blow the entire thing up and start over. until them i guess LB thinks okafor is not that impressive and can get by with chandler adn diop just fine.

Re: Okafor for Chandler rumors
Mek for Tyson straight up would be a terrible deal for us. When Chandler was healthy he wasn't as good as Mek, and now he's broken down.
I can't imagine any deal involving just the Cats and Hornets plus Chandler/Mek that I would like. Not unless we somehow pull Chris Paul and I don't think that's possible at all.
NOH sends
Chris Paul
Tyson Chandler
CHA sends
Emeka Okafor
Gerald Wallace
DJ Agustin
I can dream, can't I?

Re: Okafor for Chandler rumors
okafor has so much more value than chandler, it seems like we should be able to get West.
