Charlotte has traded Tyson Chandler and Alex Ajinca to Dallas for Dampier, Matt Carroll and Najera, a league source tells Y! Sports.

I like it.

Now for Dampier to get cut and picked up by Miami for the minimum.

Dallas owns Charlotte in that deal.

Dallas just got a lot bigger, too.

CT: Haywood/ Chandler (nice combo)

I like it.

That would suck for the rest of the league.

the ****?

why they already have haywood?

hopefully like (e) said, the cats cut dampier

[InspiredLebowski]

So Charlotte used their Raja Bell exception? ESPN Trade Machine says they'd have to.

So that clears around $10 million from Charlotte assuming they cut Dampier. TJ Fo...

Hahaha!

So not only do the Cats give up an expiring in Chandler, but also a big man who they seemed to like as a prospect but also take on Carroll?

Seems like Jordan is doing a terrible job. Why is he moving Chandler for crap?

Bobcats must be in love with Mohammed and Diop

You can never have too much depth at center IMO. The more quality bigs you have, the better. Defensive wise, having Haywood and Chandler is really tough to go up against. Say they run into a team like the Rockets with Yao. It's going to be tough for Yao to get any kind of rhythm when the Mavs have 2 very solid bigs who know how to play defense.

And they give up Ajinca who has shown flashes of being very solid, this doesn't make sense. Mj should be banned from making moves. He drafted Kwa-May Brown, Adam Morrison, and makes crappy trades. He's just doing horrible at evaluating talent or doing his job drunk or high

[Se]

It's a nice counter to the Spurs signing of Splitter. Chandler defends Duncan well, and Haywood is a competent defender as well, he shouldn't struggle to guard Splitter.

[King Lebron LBJ]

Cats really clear 10 million by cutting Damp? how does that work exactly?

[D-Rose]

Decent trade for the Mavs. Another big man, but what can he do that Haywood can't? I still don't see them competing with LA.

As for Charlotte, I understand this helps their cap situation this year, but damn taking on Carroll again?

Damp will sign in Miami book it.

So we used the dust chip for Chandler? Donnie should've traded for Jefferson instead. GTFO, Dirk should've taken the max...

I have little faith in Tyson playing more than 40 games, he's been so injury-prone the last few seasons. No, I don't like it yet.
