The Mavs Reporters like the trade :p
http://mavsblog.dallasnews.com/archi...mavericks.html
ESPN.com's Marc Stein reports that the Hornets and Thunder are close to a deal that would send center Tyson Chandler to Oklahoma City.
It's a cost-cutting move for New Orleans. The Hornets receive the expiring contracts of forwards Chris Wilcox and Joe Smith and the rights to second-round pick Devon Hardin.
In other words, one of the teams fighting for West playoff position with the Mavs is about to become a lot weaker.
