CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Charlotte Bobcats center Tyson Chandler says he’s been told he’s being traded to the Raptors amid a report Toronto is also poised to send Hedo Turkoglu to Phoenix.
Chandler wrote in an e-mail to The Associated Press on Monday night that his agent, Jeff Schwartz, informed him that he’s being traded. A Bobcats spokesman said no deal is complete, and general manager Rod Higgins didn’t return messages.
The Toronto Star reported the Suns would get Turkoglu and send guard Leandro Barbosa to the Raptors, then move guard Jose Calderon and forward Reggie Evans to Charlotte for Chandler and forward Boris Diaw. The report said the deal is pending league approval.
The trade would end Turkoglu’s disappointing one-year stay with the Raptors.
