Just thought that you all would like to see this. Any ideas who the Hornets are getting? And does this help the Spurs in the division?

The New Orleans Hornets and Oklahoma City are closing in on a deal that will send center Tyson Chandler to the Thunder, according to NBA front-office sources.
Two sources with knowledge of the trade parameters told ESPN.com that the deal is likely to be completed later Tuesday.
Although the entirety of the package New Orleans would receive for Chandler was not immediately known, ESPN.com reported early Monday that the Hornets -- who are looking to move Chandler mostly for financial reasons -- were in talks with the Thunder on a trade that would net the expiring contracts of forwards Joe Smith and Chris Wilcox.
The Thunder also possess numerous draft picks to sweeten trade packages, including five first-round picks in the next two drafts.

*To Thunder
Yes thank you.... kinda got my teams mixed up lol!!!
Hornets have no chance now.
Chandler worked very well with CP3
, I wanted him or Wilcox. Damn, they're both out of the pic if this goes down.
Fix the le, it's a bit confusing
lol i know, not sure how though... im still a noob here
aha, fixed it. MUAHAHAHA!!! Sorry for the confusion all.
How do you fix it, Idk since i've never ed up a thread le before.
What's Chandler make, and whaddaya say Presti throws us a bone and sends him over here for Mahimni and some spare parts?
Good move for the Hornets. Chandler is a good player, but more importantly, hes a member of the very popular Oklahoma City Hornets squad of yesteryear. Having him in a Thunder uni will help on the fanfront.
Edit the first post.
Chandler was NO's only chance at stopping Tim 1on1 - they often doubled still, but only when Tyson was getting into (foul) trouble. Now they dont got jack to stop Tim.
I am really curious as to who is included in the package.
Was anyone else hoping for Chandler, or am I alone?
I have no problem with NO shipping Chandler to OKC. None whatsoever.
I was wanting him. Wasn't likely, but still would have been nice.
Thank you Byron
Sad that New Orleans, while selling out every game at home, and after dealing with Katrina, still has to dump salary to save money. Chris Paul won't be happy. I saw an interview with him last year where he said he hoped that he and Chandler would play their entire careers together.
no more cp3 to chandler hoops?
really nice young core the thunder have...props to presti
?Thank you Byron
This is part of the reason why I didn't jump on the "Hornets are the future champs" bandwagon last season. Inconsistent, injury prone players with a relatively poor owner is just asking for the team to be broken up.
I will sleep peacefully tonight if we never have to see that Paul to Chandler alleyoop again
Chandler was the best guard on Duncan in the NBA.
I want TP9 to Tyson oops.
SO timvp, are you going to write game thoughts for the Raptor game?
