Wilson Chandler has played well in his time with Denver, but he may be underutilized in this upcoming season as a second string SF behind Danilo Gallinari.

Denver Nuggets fans would be sad to see him go, but sending Wilson Chandler to another team might be a smart move for the Nuggets.

Obviously, they would be after something of their own. Fortunately, most teams have something worth trading for. With Danilo Gallinari apparently locked into Denver for the foreseeable future, Chandler’s talents would likely be better utilized elsewhere. Chandler would have to be used in contingency with other players at times.

These are not the Chandler-only trade options of the Eastern Conference. But, every trade involves Chandler, and centers around the Nuggets’ current position of owning expendable talent.

As we move through the Eastern Conference, the realistically viable Chandler trade options are revealed. If an Eastern Conference Chandler-trade went down, then it would probably look like one of these.
