[QUOTE=lunateec22;4025096]Highlights of CP3's alee-oop pass to Chandler in their glory days are history now. Na-disappoint jud siguro ang Hornets organization ni Chandler.

No, its a cost-cutting move by the Hornets since owner, George Shinn is losing money.

BULLS STILL HAVEN'T GIVEN UP ON AMARE

The Chicago Bulls are still trying to come up with ways to land All-Star Amare Stoudemire from Phoenix, Adrian Wojnarowski from Yahoo! Sports is reporting.

Citing a Western Conference executive, the latest proposal involves Minnesota, and would include Kirk Hinrich moving to the Wolves.

Phoenix would receive Tyrus Thomas, who they covet, along with the expiring contracts of both Drew Gooden and Jason Collins.

Phoenix still are believed to be leaning towards keeping Stoudemire despite the latest efforts.

GRADING THE CHANDLER TRADE
by Christopher Reina

In a move that probably wouldn't have happened if Chris Paul didn't sign an extension over the summer, the Hornets dealt Tyson Chandler to the Oklahoma City Thunder for Chris Wilcox, Joe Smith and Devon Hardin.

The Hornets had the payroll of a big market club slated for 09-10 with nearly $77 million in committed salaries and since shedding Peja Stojakovic's $13.392 million and $14.256 million wasn't an option, they instead were able to remove Chandler's $12.25 million and $13.15 million from their books.

Chandler had been playing at a near All-Star level since being traded to the Hornets and playing with Chris Paul is the greatest thing that could happen to an athletic, low skilled big. His offensive efficiency skyrocketed to better than 62% as the beneficiary of Paul-assisted lobs and layups.

But this season his production and many times his effort declined considerably. He has been bothered by a bad neck and a sprained ankle and hasn't looked like the same player. Not only as his field goal percentage dropped back down to 56.3%, his rebound rate has declined dramatically, though he's still been solid on the offensive glass.

The Hornets were probably the only team in the NBA capable of gleaning the entire value of Chandler's contract because it really cannot be overstated the kind of impact a point guard like Paul has and Russell Westbrook is a much different type of player.

Chandler is young enough (26) to be a part of Oklahoma City's long term plans that surround Kevin Durant, Jeff Green and Westbrook. He also would fit nicely beside Blake Griffin in the frontcourt should the Thunder luck out in the lottery.

It is uncommon for bigs on the right side of 30 to be traded away for essentially nothing and the Thunder were incredibly fortunate to get in on the sale. Furthermore, though loaded with picks to spare, the only piece of future they had to relinquish was Hardin, a 2nd round pick in 2008.

For the Hornets, their future is clearly sacrificed and they won't have the financial resources or a bad enough record to sufficiently replace a big of Chandler's caliber either via free agency or the draft. But the self-pitying won't begin until the summer when Smith and Wilcox come off the books after they prove capable of combining to give the Hornets a similar level of production.

Smith is essentially David West-lite, while Wilcox has always been a good finisher when he has been on a team that can manufacture easy looks and is also a solid rebounder.

The Hornets weren't going to win the 2009 Finals this season as it was, but very easily could have had reached the Conference Finals; now the 2nd round would be a surprise. This deal does nothing for them longterm except improve the bottom line and stay one step ahead of the luxury tax. It is unfortunate that the economy and the current structure of the NBA has reduced so many teams to this shrunken capacity to compete.

Grade for Hornets: D+

Grade for Thunder: A

Breaking News: BULLS GET SALMONS AND MILLER

The Kings agreed on Wednesday to a trade that sends forward John Salmons and center Brad Miller to the Chicago Bulls in exchange for forwards Drew Gooden and Andres Nocioni, according to league sources who spoke to David Aldridge.

The deal will reduce Sacramento's obligations next season, saving the Kings millions on the salary cap and keeping them well under any potential luxury tax payments. Gooden, making $7.15 million this season, will likely come off the team's cap after this year. The Kings are now also free of the $5.4 million due to Salmons in 2009 and the $12 million due to Miller in '09.

Miller played two-plus seasons in Chicago after being traded from Charlotte in 2000. He was then dealt to Indiana in a trade that also sent Ron Artest to the Pacers in exchange for Jalen Rose.

Sacramento will absorb the remaining four years and $28.4 million on Nocioni's contract, but Nocioni's contract actually goes down after next season, when he's scheduled to make $7.5 million, to $6.8 million in 2010 and $6.6 million in 2011 before going back up to $7.5 million in the final season if his team option is exercised.
