According to SI.com, the Hornets are about to complete a deal to send Tyson Chandler to the Bobcats for Emeka Okafor.  I'm sure this will be pending exams for both players, which is a sure thing for Okafor but not necessarily for Chandler.  I guess I have two questions:

(1) Is this a deal we should have made ourselves (i.e., trading, instead of buying out Ben Wallace)?  Or was the decision as made correct?  I'm split on this one.

(2) Who really is getting the best of this deal?  Frankly, here I think there's little doubt:  the Hornets are getting by far the better end of the bargain, regardless of whether Chandler is fully recovered or not.  Okafor is a better center than a fully healthy Chandler has ever been.  And frankly, if this deal was being discussed a month ago, then I really doubt the veracity of all the rumors that were flying around then.
