Okafor for Chandler

[hella_numb]

The Charlotte Bobcats are finalizing a trade that would send Emeka Okafor to the New Orleans Hornets for Tyson Chandler, two people familiar with the deal told The Associated Press on Monday.

Both centers are 26-years-old and were number two overall picks.

Does this help New Orleans at all? Emeka rebounds great and plays D but is hurt a lot and with him next to David West you got no one over 7 Foot and is really a shot blocker. It's not bad for them just i dont think it makes them any better really.

Good deal for hornets. Okafor will do just fine. I dunno why Charlotte would do this though other then save money??

It was more than likely a move to rebuild the locker room. It was pretty well known that the Hornets have tried to trade Chandler for a while. After a failed attempt, I think this will bring back some continuity to the Hornets dealing a disgruntled player.

Outside of that, it seems like a pretty even swap. Sometimes a change of scenery works magic for a player.

w/o cp3, chandler is not gonna be as good on charlotte. his pick and roll lob passes are tysons bread and butter.

okafor can anchor the defense okc wanted when they wanted to select thabeet. upgrade for them. but im still concerned about okafor and his history of injuries.

i dont know why charlotte would do this. unlrdd, they worried aout okfors health.

the lobs still might be there for chandler, augustin got some pretty decent court vision. he aint no cp3 but him and chandler could be decent on the pick and roll
