Hornets general manager Jeff Bower said through a team spokesman that the club is not shopping center Tyson Chandler.

Chandler has been mentioned in a number of trade rumors this offseason. New Orleans tried to trade Chandler to Oklahoma City in February, but the Thunder balked after the center's physical.

Bower didn't rule out the possibility that teams would call about Chandler, and there is a chance that the Hornets could land a free agent through a sign-and-trade.
