It is official: Tyson Chandler is a Bobcat, Emeka Okafor is a Hornet. ESPN reports the deal is done, so I want to welcome Tyson to the Queen City...with a poor photoshop job:
While most pundits have been decrying the trade for Charlotte, I am one of the seeming few who are somewhat supportive. That can be traced back to yesterday when I ran the numbers. If you missed it yesterday, click to read it here. I don' have anything else to add yet, but just wanted to give Tyson the same welcome from QueenCityHoops that the rookies got (Gerald's welcome and Derrick Brown's).

| will Says: | This could be a good trade if Tyson Chandler is health. They have to find someone that can back up Diaw at the 4 spot that could give them some points (possibilty could be Hakim Warrick 11 pts per game last year or another trade). They have to get rid of Nazr Mohammed contract. | ||

| Ryan Schwan Says: | I'm supportive of it, Brett. Chandler is a higher risk, higher reward player than Okafor. It all depends on his health. |

| Mister K Says: | I think honestly this is a good trade on both teams parts. Also if anybody can get a great season out of Chandler its LB. His defensive skills alone with the rest of the gamblers we have should be a great complement to the team defense | ||

| Will Taylor Says: | I believes its going to work out well for the cats... the only thing is they do need is a scorer and trading Diop and Mohammed b/c of their contracts and look for a scorer in a trade. | ||
