I'd call it a wash since Okafor has the offense, and Chandler has the defense. Okafor plays hard on his man but doesnt change a game defensively like Chandler can.
But yeah, there arent many centers Id rather have on this team than Chandler. Camby's the better center but he's also 35 and has had at least as many injuries. Chandler isnt a picture of health, but he's only 26 and has had Camby-esque streaks where he's dominated the defensive paint.Put him next to Dirk and Marion and that would be a scary team.
Pipedreams aside, and draft picks aside, the Bobcats got the better side of this.
Only scenario I could even see working to get Chandler now is to lure them out by taking Diop off their hands for Humphries/Buckner.
Damp/Humphries/Buckner would save them about 26million, and Diop is one of their longest contract-guys.
