Chandler - Tarheels - Barkley

DAHT’s take on Tyson Chandler’s trade:

Something is fishy here….

Tyson Chandler can’t get a “clean bill of health” about his toe??From the doctor who performed the initial surgery on that toe in 2007? In these times where money talks?? Yeah right. There is another reason Tyson was sent back to New Orleans. I don’t know if it was because it would’ve been one of the dumbest mistakes to trade a 7 foot shot blocker who averages a double-double (when healthy) to an undersized Chris Wilcox. Or maybe it was Coach Scott, Chris Paul, and David West speaking out about the situation that would’ve caused a riff in the locker room. Or maybe it was the Hornets, who realize Tyson is an injury prone big guy with a reoccurring theme, starting with this big toe: (Surgery after the 2006-07 seasons and injured it again in April 2008 in the regular-season finale at Dallas then re-injured it during the second-round series against San Antonio, complaining of "turf toe" after he bent it toe backwards by stepping on Ime Udoka's foot. He was also named as a Team USA alternate in July but had to pull out because of the ongoing toe trouble.)Maybe they were trying to pull a fast one and got caught! Sneaky Hornets. As soon as I get in touch with CP3, I’ll let you know what’s up!

Don’t be surprised to see a last minute tries from saaaaaaaaaaay, Cleveland? They have an expiring contract with Wally Szczerbiak and a trade for him and Tyson (and a first round draft pick) would be beneficial, for the damn Cav’s. Linking LeBron up with a big guy after you just gave him Mo Williams, he MIGHT not want to leave next year! It’s all about making King James stay in Cleveland.

DAHT’s take on TARHEELS:

It was god seeing Tyler Zeller in uniform last night. He scored 2 point and 3 rebounds in about 8 minutes. We “OUTSCORED” NC State. Truth be told, if they were more athletic, and deeper, we would’ve had a problem. Why do we continue to start so slow? And why do we continue to let teams shoot above 50% on us? We WILL NOT make it to the Final Four, let alone a Championship, if we keep playing like this. No doubt we’re the most talented team in the ACC, but we don’t play well enough to be the best team in college basketball.

So will we win the ACC Tournament? Probably. Fairly convincingly.

Will we win the National Championship? Not at this level.

Gotta play defense, just can’t try to outscore opponents! Remember the Kansas game? Roy should make them bums watch that game before EVERY game! That’s the pre game footage. Get those feelings again. That feeling of embarrassment, shame, anger, retaliation, THEN PLAY!

DAHT’s take on Barkley:

I love and respect Barkley’s take on the situation. I think it was ridiculous that he got suspended, but on the other hand, I understand. When you embarrass your employer, especially with illegal activities, they have to make a stand. They DID however understand that they NEEDED Charles, and ratings dropped tremendously in his absence. I do believe his apology is sincere and authentic. Charles says he’ll talk to someone about the situation and he will make better decisions in the future regarding drinking and driving; he’ll get a driver in the future.
