    Wow... That's interesting. I wonder if he failed a physical.

    From Yahoo

    Chandler deal is off

    Tyson Chandler's turf toe injury voided the deal between the Hornets and Thunder

    This is what happens when you deal with a team that decides to move from Seattle to OKC :rolleyes:

    It seems a bit odd that the Thunder would care about Chandler's immediate health, unless they think turf toe will stick with Tyson the remainder of his career.

    Wow, this should make things nice and awkward with players from both camps now. Very strange -- this almost never happens.

    So I guess it remains the Hornets will be broke as a team, just to recap. The Hornets really don't want to trade Tyson Chandler, they are just broke and they really need to clear salary cap, They thought Chandler was the guy that should leave.

    The Hornets future really isn't looking bright.

    The players voiced that they didn't like the trade. So the damage may be minimal.

    I'm kind of torn.

    On one hand, I was happy about the trade. It meant the Hornets got worse -- something I always appreciate. That's because, you know, because I hate the Hornets. And that schmuck Chris Paul.

    On the other hand, I'm happy Chandler's back. He's been pretty ineffective this year due to foot problems, and he'll force the Hornets to pay the luxury tax. And that's always a positive. Because, you know, I hate the Hornets.

    And that schmuck Chris Paul. I guess Chandler staying ends up better. It increases the chance they'll either fold or move to Seattle.

    I wouldn't hate them then. I just can't hate the Sonics after, well, what happened to the Sonics. Chris Paul is still a schmuck though.

    I really, really hate the Hornets. Not like the jazz hands or the Celtics. But, man, I hate them.
