José Manuel Calderón could be traded to the Charlotte Bobcats

The three way trade between Phoenix Suns, Toronto Raptors and Charlotte Bobcats is involving more players. As expected, the Turkish forward Hedo Turkoglu would move to the Phoenix Suns in exchange of the Brazilian guard Leandro Barbosa and the center Dwayne Jones. But Jones will be inmediately traded to the Charlotte Bobcats along with the Spanish guard José Manuel Calderón and a third player (probably Reggie Evans), in exchange of the French forward Boris Diaw and the center Tyson Chandler.

UPDATE: Tyson Chandler confirms he has been traded to the Toronto Raptors.

Phoenix Suns, close to land Josh Childress and Hedo Turkoglu

The Phoenix Suns are close to land Josh Childress and Hedo Turkoglu. The NBA franchise would send the Brazilian guard Leandro Barbosa and the center Dwayne Jones to the Toronto Raptors in exchange of the 31-year-old Turkish forward, who is reported to be unhappy in the Canadian team. On the other hand, the Suns would also reach to an agreement to land Josh Childress via sign-and-trade with the Atlanta Hawks, that would receive a 2012 second round pick. Childress, who has played for Olympiakos during the last two seasons, would be signed to a five-year, $33 million contract.

UPDATE: The Toronto Raptors would then move Jones to the Charlotte Bobcats in exchange of the French forward Boris Diaw.
