In exchange for Chandler, Oklahoma City will send forward Joe Smith, center Chris Wilcox and the draft rights to center Devon Hardin to New Orleans.

"I am excited to be able to get more frontcourt depth in bringing Chris and Joe in, they are experienced NBA players who will be able to step right in and help us. In addition, we get a promising young post player in Hardin."
