I know he doesn't have CP3 tossing perfect lobs in OKC, but they got a few nice youngsters. KD is really coming on as one of the best scorers in the L (still can't believe he didn't make the all star team). Westbrook & Green are going to be really good players. Chandler may be a real piece for the Thunder. As for the Hornets, CP3 and West are pissed. Rightfully so. Its a real shame, but thats the reality of big business. Curious to see where the Hornets will be in four years when Paul's contract is up. -s I think the Thunder will be stoked to get Chandler.

It's a shame the global economy is affecting trade movement. I can see what the Hornets are thinking from a business standpoint, but if I was a fan or player I'd be seriously annoyed. How does this help them for next season??? There aren't too many legit centers to be had, and they'd probably have to pay money comparable to what Chandler was getting to get one.... Doesn't make much sense for the good of the team really. Chandler was overpayed, but they'll still have to pay big to fill that gap. I think the Hornets have been cheap with this move.

From what I can tell, Chandler was never %100 healthy this year, so I'm not sure we're judging him on a full body of work. Not sure that management cared. Wilcox may actually come in and put in some good work, but it's not a step forward, only a step sideways at best. Joe Smith can be solid in limited minutes...but my question is, what's Nawlins' master plan aside from being cheap? Obviously they weren't winning the West this year, but this move doesn't put them in any better position to make noise on the court, nor bad enough position to score a lottery pick. What it does is put them in position to spend some money down the line, but what do they plan to spend it on? Do they have a player or type of player that they are targeting? Or are they just planning on throwing more dough at Pejas and Poseys or whoever happens to be available? Teams be actin' like they can just come together fast via free-agency like the Voltron Celtics when that was really a very, very rare set of circumstances.

Sorry Hornets fans, but even with Chandler the team is not a threat to take the west this year. Getting 2 expiring contracts, as well as shedding Chandler's hefty salary could work out very well for the Hornets when looking towards signing free agents.

Chandler has been a piece of shit this year. Obviously the Hornets management doesn't have a whole lot of faith in him turning it around either. I'm guessing they know the guy better than you do. Why keep Chandler around? He wasn't doing much and the Hornets weren't going to get anywhere as they were. They are just investing a little in their future.

Which is in and of itself a pretty terrible deal for the bees. And we didn’t get one of the Supersonics/Thunder/Starbucks inevitable 600 draft picks.
