The Hornets have reportedly dealt Tyson Chandler to the Thunder for Chris Wilcox, Joe Smith and the rights to Devon Hardin, the 50th pick of the 2008 Draft.
Once Chandler is ready to play (he's missed 12 straight games with a sprained ankle), he would take over as the starting center in Oklahoma City, where his limited scoring average could take a slight hit without alley-oops to catch from Chris Paul. Meanwhile, New Orleans acquires a pair of expiring contracts, and Chris Wilcox -- who could take over as the Hornets' starting center -- gets a clear boost in value.
