clearly you dont understand how debilitating turf toe can be. it can end your career. you arent even really supposed to walk when healing from it.

I think Chandler is broken, and they just called it turf toe.
Thunder were getting a good player for nearly nothing, but they stopped the deal. NO must have know Chadler can't produce for them, or they wouldn't have tried to move him for so little.
This shows there is something seriously wrong with Tyson Chandler.

This whole deal just doesn't jive...I agree they may just be calling it turf toe so it doesn't ruin Chandler's value more than what it might have already done. Everyone is saying OKC overreacted on the physical, but to steal a guy like they did and let him go back, something is wrong here.

Information missing: There are still plenty of people in the NBA who can't quite figure out why the Thunder decided to pull out of their deal to get Tyson Chandler from the Hornets, which was seen by many as a steal.
Supposedly it was because of his toe, which he needed surgery on two years ago when the Hornets were in Oklahoma City. In fact, the same doctor who did that procedure for the Hornets when they were in Oklahoma raised the red flag for the current hometown Thunder. But there are some that think it is something deeper that the Thunder aren't talking about as a courtesy to the Hornets and Chandler.
One league insider said the word going throughout the league is that Chandler hasn't been able to truly practice in a year due to various foot and ankle issues. There is also some belief that his success offensively is largely tied to Chris Paul and his ability to run a devastating pick-and-roll when both are healthy.
No matter what, this is probably a drama that will have some more chapters.
