A frontcourt of David West, and Okafur would be sick.
I obviously like this for the hornets, but shouldn't the Dallas Mavricks be trying to get him too?
i think NOH has another deal in place already. they're looking to shed salary and taking on Okafor's huge contract isnt helping that.
either that or they're trying to surround CP3 with long term players :confusedshrug:
idk
And if the Bobcats are doing this for a salary dump...
Here is Shaq...you can have him.
That's a Horrible Trade.
Chandler is injury prone. Emeka Okafor is going to average 18 ppg and 11 rpg next year because Chris Paul is going to make him better.
Emeka Okafor, David West and Chris Paul = 52 or more wins in the Western Conference.
That would be a terrible move for the Bobcats.

Zydrunas Ilgauskas (Expiring Contract), JJ Hickson, and Tarrence Kinsey for Emeka Okafor.

Hopefully Indy and Boston get involved to get that Quis Daniels trade moving.

Wow no way!
This is definitely the 1st time I've read about this here and the only thread about this in the top half of the first page.

Chander only scores when Chris Paul throws up an alleyhoop.

No. It's my only chance to go to NBA games.
[QUOTE=#1SportsFan86]:roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:[/QUOTE]
whats funny about that :confusedshrug:
Neither one is Amare-esqe offensively, but Okafor is better offensively. One he gets the ball in the post he'll actually attempt a low post move/shot
[QUOTE=#1SportsFan86]:roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:[/QUOTE]
what are you laughing at its a true statement
[QUOTE=barne100]i'm pretty sure this makes no sense for either team.. it was just a few months ago that the hornets were supposedly cash-strapped but okafor is a longer/larger contract.
as for chandler.. he's older and injury prone.
this may make the hornets a little better NOW.. but it can't be worth it.[/QUOTE]
They're the same age. Both born in 1982. Chandler just has more milege since (3 extra nba seasons) due to be drafted straight out of high school.
I don't really get this trade. Perhaps Chandler stays injury free, and flourishes in Larry Brown's system. It's highly unlikely Chandler stays injury free. I probably have better chance of winning the lottery.
Okafor will probably have better offensive numbers because of Chris Paul despite being less offensively challenged than Chandler.
Considering that the Hornets were trying to palm off Chandler for absolutely northing .i.e. Chris Wilcox and Joe Smith. The bobcats could have got him without giving up Emeka
ESPN says it's a done deal.
I like Chandler but even when he played last season he was terrible. This is definitely an upgrade for the hornets i hope Chandler revives his career in Charlotte.
Okafor was an ok draft choice at #2. He's been solid, but he's hit his ceiling and we are killing our cap space for him. I can live with Chandler if he comes off the books after next year. We need to blow up and start over.
Most of our other draft decisions have been pretty bad (if you're a tightwad franchise, then at least draft smart).
I was praying for us to snag Danny Granger when he fell so far, but we picked Sean May instead.
Next year I was screaming for Brandon Roy and we went with Adam Morrison.
And I generally SUCK at evaluating potential draft picks.
I'm better than the GOAT though, apparently.
[QUOTE=#1SportsFan86]:roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:[/QUOTE]
TC has ZERO offensive ability.
I don't think this trade makes the hornets a contender in the west, or the bobcats a worse team in the east. While Okafor is better than Chandler offensively, he isn't a very substantial upgrade at all. He is also locked up for eight figures for the next few years. As a Bobcat fan, I don't mind a change at the center position. Although we do already have a similar player (Diop) at the position. Weak trade on both parts.

Charlotte Bobcats General Manager Rod Higgins announced today that the team has acquired center Tyson Chandler from the New Orleans Hornets in exchange for forward/center Emeka Okafor.
In 197 games over three seasons with New Orleans, the 7-1 Chandler averaged 10.2 points, 11.3 rebounds and 1.4 blocks in 34.3 minutes, while shooting .611 from the field (829-1356). Chandler, who missed 29 of the team’s final 44 games last season due to left ankle injuries, averaged 8.8 points, 8.7 rebounds and 1.2 blocks in 32.1 minutes over 45 games played in 2008-09.

Great trade for the Hornets imo. They dump a player who was not happy with the team and get a better interior defender, scorer, less injury prone, similar rebounder, and shot blocker in Okafor. Nice to see them getting CP3 help after being quiet for so long.
Yeah, I agree its a good trade for the hornets, but i don't know if it really improves them massively. What they really need is a new replacement for the aging Stojakevic.

Yeah but it's a start for them. They were really quiet before making the trade.
I agree with getting rid of Peja. They need to bring in a athletic wing player to play alongside Chris Paul.
Alongside Chris Paul, Okafor will average 18/10, book it.
bobcats are straight ****ed
this team already cant score worth **** an now they trade thier best interior scorer, or basically there only one for ****ing tyson chandler?:wtf:
will j. wright ever get a chance to play? i'm hoping he can be a productive player for them this year, he should at least get that opportunity.
[QUOTE=beasted86]Alongside Chris Paul, Okafor will average 18/10, book it.[/QUOTE]
I think he'll get around 11-12.5 boards, not 10. With West next to him up front, it'll open up more rebounds for Okafor. Also leading to a whole bunch of put back points
What exactly is the point of this trade for the Bobcats? They get more salary [I]and[/I] the worse player.
bobcats are ****ed. gerald wallace better leave while he can, cause most of his prime years were already wasted being in bobcat's rotation
Hopefully MJ wasn't behind this. He can't possible make his rep as a front office man worse, can he? The Bobcats were actually looking like a team that has 6-8 seed potential towards the end of last season, and now they screw it up with this? The Bobcats had a scrappy defensive team last season which Coach Brown loves to work with and now you head away from that direction by trading your best interior defender? Chandler has no offensive game to speak of and is only a good rebounder, nothing more.
Sooo....are the Hornets in the brink of financial collapse or what?
Makes no sense for the Bobcats.
[QUOTE=InspiredLebowski]Sooo....are the Hornets in the brink of financial collapse or what?[/QUOTE]
Then why would they take on emekas contract which uns to 014:confusedshrug:
