The hornets. So i have been reading alot around realgm and the horents fourm and bulls. the trade inculdes Chandler and Allen for Pj and JR smith
I think this is an ok trade IF we get ben wallace. Cause with wallace high contract we are able to get rid of chandlers. And this is the last year on PJ's big contract. Which gives us cap space for next season. THOUGHTS? |

Ah, now I see that this was an inside source for the Hornets that revealed this rumor and the rumor that Peja was signing with the Hornets. If he called Peja, he must be in the know...

This trade doesnt make any sense, another SG/SF and an OLD PF, while taking away a very good young defender and depth from the weakest spot in our rotation. Getting PJ takes away 5 points and boards a game from our post, why would we even consider this deal? Yes Smith has superstar athletic ability, but why would we ever want to make our frontcourt any weaker. Hey but It's such a financial strain to keep Tyson with our 16 million in cap space, but lets invest 16 million in the same type of one dimensional "but proven" player.

Well, PJ is an expirign contract and getting rid of Chandler frees up some more cap space. There are a few scenarios here: 1.) PJ Brown is our stop-gap PF or C. 2.) This might be a 3-way trade. 3.) This might be a precursor to another deal (KG, O'Neal). As far as smith, I think he is probably part of the deal in case Sefolosha has trouble adjusting to the NBA right away. |

We have 16 million to do what we need now, and we can decide what to do depending on our performance with this team. Im sorry but giving up Tyson now is just dumb, sell high buy low, not the other way around. WE have the cap situation to allow us to see how he works out this year, if he sucks forget him, it's not like we could do worse than PJ Brown and another SF for him. |

Only logical reason I see for trading Chandler and getting rid of his contract is because they will sign or have an agreement to sign a very expensive player... And if Chandler sucks in 2006, no one is going to want to trade for him. What don't you understand about that? After 04/05, his value was at it's highest and its still high now. If he has another 06/07 season like 05/06, we can shove his contract up our asses because no one will want him. |

Two more very expensive players you mean, we havent signed Ben yet, and like I said that shouldnt change a thing. |

The original source of this rumor seems to be VERY reliable.

We also have no use for JR Smith so it seems like it could be a precursor for another move.

Yup, with Brown's contract expring after 07, we'd have the space to re-up Noc, Deng, and Kirk. Not sure what this means on the Ben Wallace/Free Agency front... |

Thats not the issue, but it could give us enough money to make a nice push at someone once again next year cause after that we'll be entirely capped out for a long time (especially if all goes well). |

Guys this is a dumb trade IMO. Why would we want to give up a great defensive player for some old guy that really cant play anymore with another SG?
