Marc Stein of ESPN.com reports, "They've managed to strip Detroit of its beloved Ben Wallace, but the Chicago Bulls can't quite claim to be the surprise team of this fledging NBA offseason. Especially not if the Bulls complete the trade they're discussing with the New Orleans/Oklahoma City Hornets. NBA front-office sources told ESPN.com on Monday night that the Bulls were close to shipping Tyson Chandler to the Hornets for P.J. Brown and J.R. Smith."
