Smart Decision?

Earlier today the New Orleans Hornets dealt their starting center Tyson Chandler to the Oklahoma City Thunder for forwards Chris Wilcox and Joe Smith. In many ways this trade could be good or bad. New Orleans gets a veteran forward in Joe Smith who can consistently rebound and hit mid range jump shots. They also get Wilcox who is very athletic and is much stronger than Chandler although he is not as long as Chandler and won't contest as many shots. The Hornets also lose their pick and roll offense that always leads to alley oops to Chandler. The Thunder on the other hand gained a lot. Chandler adds another young, athletic player and with the Thunder playing better, this gives a positive outlook on their future. Only time will tell who won this trade...
