    A separate deal, or one related to the topic? And where is your source for this information?

      I said "Maybe" so I wouldn't call it a source and yes it would involve Charlotte, Toronto, and any 3 of the teams
      Ok, apparently I've asked the question incorrectly.
      Why, specifically, do you believe those three teams "maybe" involved?
      Have you seen an article suggesting that is the case, or did you just pick those three teams out of a hat?

        That was more of a speculation than a source. Well apparently Charlotte have intrest in TJ Ford, New Orleans are looking for TPE to save some money and get rid of long term contracts, and Minnisota may have interest in a starting PG.

          Star says it is done

          The Star reports that the deal for Diaw and Chandler is done. Jose and Evans are still Raptors while the Hedo and Barbosa deal is moving along on its own.

            Charlotte deal off, Jose still a Raptor (for now)

            A deal that would have sent Jose Calderon and Reggie Evans to Charlotte is dead, sources say, but the trade to send Hedo Turkoglu to Phoenix will go ahead.

              Awesome! I really didn't want a flaky Diaw and bandaid Chandler in Toronto anyways. We have Bargs, Amir, Dorsey, Ed, Al and I guess Reg (till he gets dealt), why the hell do we want these two anyways? Start replenishing the 1-2 positions please.

                I am still super-happy with Hedon't departure, I don't even want to think about MJ being an asshole. I am pretty sure there is interest for Jose&Reggie, sooner or later. If Hedo contract could be moved, any contract can be moved.

                  I'm not sure this makes a huge difference but:

                  The unmentioned deal wrecker in TO-Char? Larry Brown. Sources say Brown was NOT happy about losing Chandler.

                    I still think Calderon swap for Diaw is possible

                      Chandler would be the defensive kneed C we've all been looking for the past 15 seasons... None of our guys you mentioned is a C aside from Alabi, and for all we know he could be the next Garth Joseph.

                        Why would you want Diaw for Calderon? With the current Raptors team, we don't need Diaw; Diaw was supposed to be the bad contract to take over in order to have Chandler. Without Chandler, BC can get a better offer for Calderon to address what Raptors needs as we have already quite a jam-log at 4 ( which is natural position for Diaw).

                          This is exactly how the Republic is feeling right now:

                          RR OG

                            Although I haven't read any rumours about BC going after Collison w/ Okafor for anyone, it does seem more plausible now. BC will essentially be forced to move Calderon now because the cat is out of the bag. As others have stated, NO wants to shed some cap-space and move along one of their bad contracts (Okafor), with either of our expirings (Evans or Banks) we can help relieve some cap space for them and give them a solid back-up to CP3.

                              ...Ugh, now what... That trade would have been a massive gain. They weren't even going to have to use the TPE. This bad luck reminds me of when John Salmons backed out of a verbal commitment with the Raptors. Everyone was so excited about Salmons coming here only to get the rug pulled out from under us.

                                It wouldn't surprise me if Brown had talked Jordan out of this. As I said earlier this would have a really stupid trade for Charlotte to make. BC almost pulled this off. Give him an "A" for effort.

                                Now Raptors fans can hate on Larry Brown when the Bobcats come to the ACC.

                                Will they boo or not boo?
