Rumors surfaced in mid-June that the Nuggets might be in the hunt for Kevin Love. Several names were floated as possible inclusions in a trade proposal, including Kenneth Faried, Wilson Chandler, and (even though he was still with the Magic) Aaron Afflalo.
Although not in the context of a Love trade, Chandlers name has now been dropped once again as a player the Nuggets may be attempting to deal, and this time rather than the Manimal or AAA, hes joined on the hypothetical trade block by JaVale McGee. As tweeted by Alex Kennedy of BasketballInsiders.com:
The Denver Nuggets have considered trading JaVale McGee and/or Wilson Chandler, according to league sources.
This shouldnt come as too much of a surprise, especially on the heels of the Afflalo trade. The Nuggets are getting close to flirting with the luxury tax, so shedding at least one contract to offset the addition of Afflalos salary and allow themselves a little more flexibility makes sense financially.
