Bobcats trade Emeka Okafor to Hornets for Tyson Chandler

[kingmob]

That would be a terrible move for the Bobcats.

Here is Shaq...you can have him.

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.

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

this may make the hornets a little better NOW.. but it can't be worth it.

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.
