There's only a big headline on ESPN NBA frontpage. More news later.

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

aw crap....

hopefully this isn't the same mojo ala Horry/Bullard for Sean Elliot trade during the '93 trade deadline

from Realgm

The Hornets and Thunder agreed to a trade that sent Tyson Chandler to Oklahoma City in exchange for Joe Smith, Chris Wilcox and DeVon Hardin.

One day later, the four players will be going back to their original teams.

Thunder Executive Vice President and General Manager Sam Presti announced in a press release on Wednesday evening that the team has rescinded its trade with the Hornets for Chandler.

“We were pleased to add Tyson to the Thunder roster,” said Presti. “During the course of the physical examination and outside consultations some questions arose that gave us cause for concern. We felt that this course of action was the best for our organization.”

Rescinding trades in the NBA is a very rare occurrence. During the summer of 2005, the Nets and Blazers agreed on a trade that sent Shareef Abdur-Rahim to New Jersey, but it was rescinded following a physical examination.

The Cavaliers rescinded a trade involving Mateen Cleaves in a deal with Sacramento in 2002 and they also rescinded a deal for Victor Alexander with the Raptors in 1995.

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

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.
