Chandler To Thunder?

"The New Orleans Hornets and Oklahoma City are closing in on a deal that will send center Tyson Chandler to the Thunder, according to NBA front-office sources.
Two sources with knowledge of the trade parameters told ESPN.com that the deal is likely to be completed later Tuesday.
Although the entirety of the package New Orleans would receive for Chandler was not immediately known, ESPN.com reported early Monday that the Hornets -- who are looking to move Chandler mostly for financial reasons -- were in talks with the Thunder on a trade that would net the expiring contracts of forwards Joe Smith and Chris Wilcox.
The Thunder also possess numerous draft picks to sweeten trade packages, including five first-round picks in the next two drafts." ESPN

Well now my championship picks are really off. Chris Wilcox and Joe Smith both suck. If the Hornets wanted to win they would have needed to keep Chandler instead of worrying to clear salary space. I just hope for the Hornets sake that they are able to get a first round pick from the Thunder. With Chandler gone, that now leaves only untried Hilton Armstrong as the starting center. It's a shame what has happened to the Hornets this year. this all could have been avoided with the resigning of Pargo.
