Isn't Matt Carroll an "Original" Bobcats ?

Yes, Expansion draft '03.
[QUOTE=kentatm]I believe the answer is yes but the Mavs would have to wait at least 60 days before they could package Chandler with anything.[/QUOTE]
But he could be traded before the season starts. I don't think that will happen though, I think Dallas thinks they can use him. Too bad he will be hurt half the season.

ah okay, thank you :)

So Carroll and Crash finally reunited :rockon:
Time to bring back Brevin Knight :D
I don't understand why is driving these changes among bigs.
Chandler, Dampier, Okafor. What is driving this?
Now that the GM is out of NO, we may be able to do what Dallas couldn't, trade for Collison or CP3.

in the case of Dallas this is soley to try and counter Splitter signing with the Spurs. He hates the Spurs mainly because he always out spends them but seldom out plays them.

uh not really.
they did it to unload the awful contracts of Matt Carroll and Eduardo Najera while simultaneously upgrading their backup center spot.
Now they have more flexibility for the future and a better player.
this shocked me a bit. That's an expensive C combo. They are loading up on length to deal with the Lakers and protect Kidd/Terry who can't defend the Parkers of the world. Or they possibly just wanted to get something for Dampier's voidable deal and will use Chandler in another trade.
MJ should have pulled the deal on the original deal. You dump Diaw's deal for Evans' and turn Chandler(who wasn't better than Nazr and Theo really last year) into the PG they badly need. You fill a hole without really creating another and give yourself a lot of financial flexibility now and going forward. Thomas is going to play most of the PF minutes anyways.

Maybe, but I doubt it. Dampier,Augustine,Diaw,Henderson,1st for Okafor,Paul? Saves 50 mil, gives you an athletic F(NO could use this), 2 talented, former first round guards and a first round pick. Probably better offers out there.
Hey Dallas, would you do Barea for Solomon Jones and some kind of future 2nd rounder?
