I don't want to see Hinrich go either. What we need is someone to take Ben Gordon off our hands!!!

If Sixers Deal, It Will Be For Basketball And Not Economics
Feb 19, 2009 4:24 AM EST

With many trades around this deadline expecting to be financially motivated, do not expect the Philadelphia Sixers to follow suit, Bernard Fernandez of thePhiladelphia Daily News is reporting.

"I think the economics of the league definitely is an issue," Stefanski said last night. "I think you'll see that in a lot of trades, withteams trying to do things that might not seem to make a lot of basketball sense."

"If we do something [before the trade deadline], it would only be if it made sense from a basketball perspective."

The Sixers' biggest trade chip - Andre Miller - appears likely to remain in Philadelphia.

Chandler: I'm Super Shocked
Feb 19, 2009 2:06 AM EST

Just as Tyson Chandler got over the shock and disappointment of being dealt to the Thunder, he learned that he was actually going to return to the Hornets.

"This is absolutely crazy," Chandler told ESPN in a phone conversation on Wednesday night. "I'm super shocked. This is nuts."

Chandler's big toe was the reason why Oklahoma City rescinded the deal.

"I was really disappointed too when I was traded," Chandler said. "I felt like if we were healthy we had a championship team in New Orleans. ButI didn't want to sulk so I started to get excited about the new challenge in Oklahoma City. I felt I could help turn that team around."

Come on Chicago make another move... we now have 7 guards... only can suit up 12 players 5 of our Guards can start somewhere else and only 1 is intouchable(Rose).

Hinrich

He's injured. I mean, color me stupid, but OKC had to have known he' not in peak physical condition... because... he's freaking injured.

Or do you think 'failed physical' means 'considering your injury, you're still not where you should be'?

Because if that's the case, there's no way. Chandler's in shape. I mean, he's no *insert name of really, really in shape athlete here*, but he's no Pig Miller, either.

I think there is something more to it also.

I think the Hornets wanted them to nix the trade. They took a PR beating and the players were upset....

From RealGM
Tyson Chandler has missed fourteen straight games with a sprained ankle, but the center's asthma may have played a role in his failedphysical.
The Thunder voided a trade with the Hornets that would have sent Chandler to Oklahoma City for Joe Smith and Chris Wilcox on Wednesday night.

Get rid of those guys and we're good.

 

[jstar25]

^^^^ AMEN!

 

[N41D]

Chandler's failed physical has to do with the turf toe injury he suffered a couple years back when the Hornets were still in OKC...

The Thunder's current team doctor is the doctor that performed Tyson's operation back then, so he's very familiar with Tyson in thatregard... They said that toe was the first thing the doctor looked at when Tyson came in for the check-up, and he felt Tyson was very susceptible tore-injuring it and missing a massive amount of time...

Mavericks owner Mark Cuban is talking to teams about guard Jerry Stackhouse, and admits that he is willing to take on salary in a trade as long as it'snothing crazy.

"We're opportunistic," Cuban said. "We'll take on money. We just won't do anything crazy."

However, it is becoming more and more likely that the Mavericks will stand pat this season.

Everyone knows what they want to do at this point. It's more a question of, does someone give up or does someone get extraexcited? We'll see."

Rockets general manager Daryl Morey claims that no final decision has been made regarding whether or not Tracy McGrady will have a season-ending operation onhis left knee.

"We're still waiting on second opinions, and then we're going to decide which direction we're going to go," Morey said Wednesday."That was the plan originally, and that's still the plan. I just talked to his agent (Arn Tellem).

"Tracy hasn't seen the doctor who would likely perform whatever procedure he ends up doing. The decision on the next step is still to be determined.Obviously, the most important person in the decision is Tracy. We think it's best he hears all options before deciding on the final course of action."

Why would you want to keep Hinrich over Ben Gordon if youre a Bulls fan? that doesnt make sense...but with about four hours left (my time) i hope somethingimportant gets done.and as a critic of the Chandler trade, im happy it didnt go through. i think if and when he gets healthy, he'll make them better thanJoe Smith and Wilcox.
