NBA Talk: How the Okafor-Chandler Trade Benefits Both NBA Franchises
With the recent trade of Emeka Okafor going to the New Orleans Hornets
to play with Chris Paul and Tyson Chandler going to the Charlotte
Bobcats to play with Gerald Wallace, I think it was a pretty good trade
for both of these NBA franchises.
But there is always a winner of some trade, and I believe the Hornets
are the ones who got the best deal. Not only did they get an NBA...

News-Herald: Would Cavs Be Interested In Tyson Chandler This Summer?
It is unconventional to think about the offseason when a team is in the middle of a championship run, but let's think long-term here.
