From what everyone says Chandler's foot won't hold up long term. He's only good for a supporting role where you don't need him to be your main guy.

If Chandler has a healthy foot, he is MUCH MUCH better than Okafor.

You're going to have fun watching Paul to Ariza.

emeka plays below the rim. i honestly think he is more of a power forward but i guess bower thought he was a center.

no doubt. emeka probably shouldnt have the weight of being a center on his shoulders.

Apparently Chandler's doing pretty well with team USA right now. If he can gain confidence from that he may regain his confidence. He doesn't have to play for Charlotte anymore, and that's a boost by itself

Healthy Chandler was almost as important to the Hornets as Paul. The records with and without him back that up.

But the whole reason we dumped Chandler was because he supposedly would never be healthy again. Everybody loved him when he was healthy - he was such a force around the paint defensively.

Playing on an improving team that went 44-28 last year and made the playoffs is such a terrible position to be in. Especially with guys like Augustin, Thomas, Wallace, and Jackson and being coached by a guy like Larry Brown I get Dallas may be a better situation but Charlotte is gonna be a decent team for a while.

I'm not arguing with all that, but come on man, It's Charlotte. They actually were a decent squad but playing for the bobcats isn't a tremendously desirable thing
