Tyson Chandler is still a Hornet. Yahoo! just broke my heart....I think. Trading for an injured player never makes sense. Not in any sport.
Once my shock wears off, I will be able to look at this more clearly. Joe Smith will be welcomed back with open arms -- right before he is traded to another contender. Chris Wilcox, on the other hand, may find the reunion difficult. He was looking forward to changing his address, and there are not very many places for him to be dealt.
Oklahoma City now finds itself in scramble mode. The rumored deals have mostly been completed, and time is running out to find a partner. GM Sam Presti is officially behind the eight ball with the NBA wondering if he has any more tricks on display.
The Thunder do not play until Friday, but the real story will be who the starting five are when they take the court.
Tough break with this one. Presti might end up having to use one of his five first rounders to get somebody back in a trade.
