    Amit (Chicago, IL): Can you elaborate on the breaking news that the Hornets are going to trade Chandler to the Thunder???!!!

    Chad Ford: (1:27 PM ET ) Marc Stein is reporting that they'll send Joe Smith and Chris Wilcox there (both expiring contracts) for Chandler. Great trade for the Thunder in my opinion. They needed a young, athletic big. They are stacked with talent now with Durant, Westbrook, Green and Chandler. If they add a two guard like James Harden in the draft ... wow.

    It's true.

    That's horrible. Chandler would have been ideal if the Bulls did the Boozer trade.

    I called tyson Chandler to OKC a few times. Only I had him going there as a free agent in 2010. OKC can still offer Ben Gordon a good contract after this trade.

    I'm with Mixum a bit on this one...Presti's doing a pretty darn good job turning Ray Allen, Rashard Lewis and the #2 pick into Westbrook, Durant, Green, Collison/Wilcox and Chandler, AND 5 first rounders in the next 2 years.

    The Thunder are really gaining some quality pieces for down the road. In a couple years, I could see them being among the elite.

    This is good news for the Blazers and makes the third seed that much more attainable this year.

    Yes, but NOH just hurt their team with this deal. Don't we play them a couple more times too?

    Things are starting to happen. I think we're coming out of the 7th inning stretch Blazer fans!

    I won't be shocked to see the Thunder in the playoffs next season, and I'll bet they finish the season playing at least .500 ball.

    This is going to be a good rivalry in a couple of years ... much more so if we can land Wallace, who should be able to give Durant a good run for his money defending him.

    If they want to save some cash trade us CP3 for Raef, Outlaw, Bayless, and draft picks. :wink:

    Third seed?

    I was thinking #4 behind Lakers, SA and Denver.

    I think that the Blazers, Nuggets and Hornets were all at the same level before. Now it's just us and the Nuggets, IMO.

    If they traded CP3 to us, they could have our 2009, 2011, 2013, 2015, 2017 1sts.

    They'll be the #30 pick each year, and we can buy #29 for 3M.
