They look so...happy.
Hornets center Tyson Chandler reflected on last week's trade deadline mayhem in a much more personal way than, say, your average John Hollinger (who sees players only as numbers and nothing more). The Hornets traded guard Bobby Jackson, apparently an extremely close friend of Chandler's, and a few other players for Mike James and Bonzi Wells, which I thought was a pretty good trade for New Orleans. However, Chandler made me cry out of guilt in his post titled "The Other Side of a Trade," which explained:
His daughters are four and seven, and they're like sisters with my daughter. They spend so much time together, and I've seen how much my daughter has grown, being able to play with his daughters, because they're so much older. When she wakes up in the morning, she calls their names because she wants to go over their house.
Actually, one of the first names that she got down was Bobby's, because she was always like "Bobby, Bobby." It was just hilarious the way she said it. So, I would pick up his girls sometimes and he would do the same. They're like sisters. They fight, they run around the house together and they get into stuff together.
Gotdamnit, Tyson, why must you make us feel so bad?! Stop all unexpected trades now!
