Tyson Chandler to Toronto, Calderon to Charlotte

[Cman]

Mods, this thread should be in the rumors forum, as the trade has not gone through, per yahoo earlier today:

The sudden reluctance of Charlotte owner Michael Jordan has thrust the proposed Toronto-Charlotte trade into jeopardy, multiple league sources told Yahoo! Sports on Monday night.

“Right now, Michael is having second thoughts,” a source with knowledge of the talks told Yahoo! Sports.

The Bobcats had agreed to trade center Tyson Chandler(notes) and forward Boris Diaw(notes) to the Raptors for guard Jose Calderon(notes) and forward Reggie Evans(notes). Players had been contacted earlier in the day and told they were traded. Yet now, everyone has been put into a holding pattern. Jordan, sources said, has been hesitant to trade Chandler.

The trade isn’t dead, the sources said, but the two sides will talk again on Tuesday morning and the Raptors will try to push the deal through to completion. Toronto general manager Bryan Colangelo is anxious to complete the trade.


Toronto is only sure it has an agreement to complete a separate trade to send Hedo Turkoglu(notes) to the Phoenix Suns for Leandro Barbosa(notes).

As a side note, now that this deal is in limbo, perhaps the Cs could get in on it, and trade Sheed's contract for Diaw (which works because Sheed's contract has a trade kicker).

Diaw has a 2 year contract, which seems to fit in to Danny's plans, and he would be a great addition to the bench, coming in for PP.
